A must see, I'm sure... Paula Zahn on homosexuality this p.m.

[Flubadubya]

Tonight Paula Zahn is to feature one of those "programs" for "de-programming" homosexuals. The homo-promo asks the question, "Is homosexuality a choice? Can they be changed?"

Oh Gag me on Paula Zahn and her "pet" topics!! This is sure to be most enlightening! :sarcasm:

[Bluebear]

1. Oh-oh some male cellist in high school must have snubbed her

Someone she had a crush on in orchestra must have "chosen" to be gay so she is going to "examine" the topic.

[Puzzler]

2. Oh why...

... oh why the f*ck is this even being debated in 2005?


-P

[Bluebear]

6. Because your neighbor to the south is not as civilized in these matters

[libnnc]

3. Examine this, Paula...n/t

[sui generis]

4. It's always good to know that with prayer and therapy

I too can become chinese.

Wouldn't it be better if they honestly answered the question, you know, just take a stab at it, WHY would any child "choose" it?

Oh wait, I'm out of tinfoil - may need to borrow some.

Personally the only "reprogramming" camp I'd send my kid to is if some religious twit got hold of him and tried to convert him to believing in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, because THAT really IS a choice.

:rant:

13. Snarf!! I think I'd like to pray to be taller.

Or maybe a little skinner. Can I change the way I was born too!!

:laugh:

5. I knew she was a big homophobe.

Yes...she'll trot out creeps like James Dobson and Lon Sheldon and "converted" "de-gay" poster boy John Paulk (who was seen in a gay bar a few yeats ago after his "de-programming") in what seems like the 22,273rd time to push a fraudulent "cure" for a disease that doesn't exist.

God, this shit infuriates me.

7. Did you see the Ex Gay NASCAT guy on the daily show

last night....

It was good fun

[tigereye]

11. this stuff is crap

and contrary to all modern thinking. It is embarrassing. For a very ironic treatment of this topic, see the movie Saved, a very funny film. This kind of thing gets quite a skewering. There was a recent article in the NYT about these types of places... they are a travesty!


:hi: Terry.

8. Yes, all these good looking guys look in the mirror one morning and...

say "I'm not gonna waste this on girls". /sarcasm

The commercial definitely asks the wrong questions. Thats like asking do people become Christians because they don't know better or they have a persecution complex. It is a bogus question. I would be interested to know what their final conclusions are though.

[oge]

12. don't expect final conclusions

this is MSM. they find or invent two sides to a story, even if its a dodecahedron, present them in 30-second bites, cash their paychecks, and pat themselves on the back. then they go home and tear up any bird nests on the edge of their hirise.

i swore i would never watch zahn until she came clean on her role in the pale male drama.

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. Bet she doesn't give any time to any but the fundagelical view

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. Silly me.

Here I was working on a vaccine for curing religious intolerance and the pandering TV spokesholes who give them airtime.


Much love to the GLBT DU'ers out there. It is a tragedy that we live in such a backward and intolerant time.


Edit: Sew eye canned speel.
