This is a video from Youtube's ZinniaJones. If you like it, be sure to check out more of his videos, because he makes a lotta great videos on several subjects but focuses on gay rights.

2. Yeah, and it just goes to show how scummy Rupert Murdoch is.
Also glee is a show on Fox that has some homosexuals in it, which this video was about. Rupert Murdoch is willing to sell out any of his so called "moral values" when he realizes shows like Family Guy and Glee get ratings. He has dumbasses on Fox News talking about the "gay agenda" and how it is "evil", while having glee on the regular Fox channel. Basically he is telling homosexuals to watch his network, but pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, who is funding bigotry on other channels.

4. Those aren't people singing and dancing on Glee, those are placed "gay" products according to the
Psychos at Fox noise. Rupert Murdoch has not an ounce of morality or integrity in his entire wrinkled old hag body. He wants our money, but hates out guts........he can suck my Koch.

7. LOL
Well when I see vikings or ninjas on TV I kind of want to be one. So maybe Fox has a point here. Although when I see jerk-offs on Fox News it doesn't make me want to be one..... now insert obvious jerk-off/Megan Kelly joke....

8. I saw a gay guy on TV then I wanted to be gay
but two seconds later there was a straight guy and I wanted to be straight

then there was a black guy and I wanted to be black

then there was a murderer and I wanted to kill people

then there was a doctor and I wanted to save people

man, I got really confused... but thankfully there are so many straight white people on TV that they're always the last thing I see when I turn it off, so I stay all nice and normal.

But really, I don't think these people really think people are going to see gay people on TV and become gay. I think they're afraid people will see gay people on TV and become TOLERANT of gays. Then they're out of a job, the neanderthals lose all support and go extinct.

9. Homophobe reporters are more of a product placement.
They're actually telling you what to think.

10. If seeing gay people on TV makes you gay, I'd better
lay off the animal planet. I can't imagine what that must be doing to me. Thanks for the heads up, Faux News!

11. They might have a point, I watch wale wars and want to go out to sea to study marine biology
But then again I live on a sail boat, and was interested in marine biology before wale wars.
