====================================================

GOP senators demand parental warnings for shows featuring LGBTQ characters

Apparently, "Don't say gay" isn't enough—some Republican senators want "Don't see gay," too.

Five GOP senators sent a letter to the head of the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board asking that the rating system add new warnings so parents can keep their kids from watching shows with LGBTQ characters.

The letter was crafted by Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall and signed by Indiana’s Mike Braun, Montana’s Steve Daines, North Dakota’s Kevin Cramer, and Utah’s Mike Lee.

The senators want the TV regulator to put up a warning for shows that feature what in their eyes is “disturbing content” of LGBTQ characters to help parents keep their children from being exposed to gay, lesbian, or trans characters.

1. Being gay will soon be an imprisonable offense again

So this should come as no surprise.

2. I feel sorry for gay kids who are born into these homes..

They are ultimately kicked out of their homes……

IGNORANCE is dangerous….

5. Used to

be the party of stay out of my personal business-supposedly-but that was really never the case.

6. While they are at it, they need to defend kids from online porn.

I propose everyone who wants to watch porn have to register an account with their real identity and prove they are of legal age.

And those accounts need to be periodically audited by contacting the owners of those accounts and confirming that they are, indeed, the individuals watching the porn.

To protect the children.

Republicans need to get on this right away, before the whole country falls into moral turpitude.

8. How about some snowflake trigger warnings

9. First Amendment Problem Here?

Hopefully businesses are finally going to get fed up with the heavy hand of these boys. Not to mention that a HUGE part of the creativity in the arts is due to LGBTQ people. Hope all these miscreants are enjoying their moment of hate before it turns on them.

10. Perhaps Liberal homes might want to protect their kids from TV shows that depict bigoted

or racist characters. Should Fox News have such a disclaimer?

11. We need warnings for GOP characters. Children please leave the

Room or change the channel, these people will warp your mind.

12. How about a religious content warning?

[PufPuf23]

14. That was my initial thought as well. nt

13. How about pausing the shows and issuing stern warnings every time someone is shot?

That's what kids constantly see on the screen these days, not LGBTQ characters.

15. This is seriously going to hurt more children than it's going to help.

Fuck the Christofascists!

16. Next thing you know

they'll be demanding no unmarried sex on shows, and married couples sleeping in twin beds---just like back in the 1950s. Get these people out of our lives!

17. Maybe before every show the sexual inclinations and proclivities of every character

should be pasted on a pre-show advisory.

Also before every ad, the political leanings of a company or politician should be displayed in an advisory.

That could kill TV as a medium
