"Even in TV shows that have nothing to do with homosexuality," Vitagliano notes, "apparently gays and lesbians have often latched onto any hint of a close relationship or spiritual intimacy between characters of the same sex and have read a homosexual subtext into it, desperate to find something -- anything -- that will give them a sense of normalcy." Or, in other cases, he adds, indications are that homosexuals often view shows about characters with supernatural powers and hidden abilities, such as "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," and see characters who must keep secrets or lead hidden lives as somehow paralleling the "closeted" homosexual existence." -Ed Vitagliano, a media researcher for the American Family Association remarks on the show "Inside TV Land: Tickled Pink"

Cable Companies to Add Gay TV

Many Christian leaders and parents are concerned that the LOGO channel will influence susceptible young people to do things that they are not mature enough to recognize as dangerous.

"I believe very strongly that the type of Christianity one's been exposed to is going to determine the impact of the media. If Jesus is a friend that nurtures you then there will be little impact. If it doesn't nurture the soul, the soul is going to be hungry—hungry hearts will be trapped."- Rob Winslow, founder and director of Healing Presence Ministries

TV Networks Trip Over One Another to Promote Gay Marriage

http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/jun/05060102.html

In a recent article about the attempt by television networks to prove how much gay people love each other by bombarding the viewing public with numerous gay themed television shows Lifesite news stated: "The arguments of defenders of traditional marriage have never focused around gay love, but rather on the intrinsic spiritual, emotional and physical lack of complementarity between the two people in the relationship. As well there are serious health issues related to dangerous homosexual sexual practices and grave concerns about the welfare of children raised in these usually unstable and confusing relationships. Finally, there are valid concerns about removal of basic democratic freedoms from critics of homosexual behaviour (as opposed to the persons involved in this behaviour) by those who have made it plain they will not tolerate public expression of any such opinions."

• Three Channels To Focus On Gay, Lesbian Programming
  

Apr 16, 2005 1:04 am US/Eastern
NEW YORK (AP) Three new TV networks catering to gay and lesbian viewers are trying to establish themselves and all say they support one another - at least publicly.

Competition breeds interest and shows doubters that the business is viable, said Frank Olsen, president of the Q Television Network. He once applied the same theory when he owned four gay and lesbian bars near each other in Seattle.

"I think there's room for all three of us," said Olsen, whose network is the underdog of the trio. "We're different types of channels, just like you have ABC, NBC and CBS."

(AgapePress) - Officials with the American Family Association say they expect a massive public outcry to erupt over the recent announcement that two homosexual cable networks will soon be widely available, compliments of some major cable carriers that provide services to millions of American homes. As a result, homosexual-oriented programming will be available around the clock for the first time.

According to a New York Times article earlier this week, two major cable providers -- Comcast and Cox Communications -- will offer the homosexual network titled "here!" through their video on-demand offerings. Billing itself as "America's first gay television network," here! was established in 2002 by Regent Entertainment and boasts current availability in more than 40 million households.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Television entertainment programs mention God more often than they did in the mid-1990s but tend to depict organized religion negatively, a study released Thursday said.

The Parents Television Council watched every hour of prime-time on the broadcast networks during the 2003-04 season and logged 2,344 treatments of religion. They judged 22 percent of the mentions positive, 24 percent negative and the rest neutral.
