I saw the BANNED "Postcards from Buster" show! [View All]

[trotsky]

You know, the PBS series where cartoon character "Buster" the bunny is "visiting" real-world people and observing what they do?

There is one episode set in Vermont where Buster visits a family that lives on a farm - but the family is headed by a LESBIAN couple. Oh, the shock! The horror!

A lot of PBS stations refused to show that episode under pressure from the religious nuts. Fortunately my local station (KTCA - Mpls/St.Paul) did not cave to pressure, and they played it a couple of nights ago.

Well, I have to say after watching it - BFD. There is nothing in it about "lesbian love" or anything like that. Just kids and women working on a farm and forming a family. But you see, THAT'S what the homophobes fear: potraying gay people as no different from the rest of us. They are so full of hate it blinds them.

It was a good episode, I learned how they make maple syrup and what life is like at their farm.

Screw the religious reich.
