Fundies: The Today Show has gone all gay on us
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 02:16 PM by marmar
And how exactly do you "cancel" your TODAY viewership? :freak:




from the American Family Association, fighting for the rights of the oppressed Xtian heteros of the world:



Why you should never watch NBC's 'Today' show again


Let NBC and its "Today" show know their decision to recognize two gay men as "husband and wife" is a reason to cancel your viewership.

July 9, 2010

NBC's The NBC network has just announced it will recognize homosexuals as married couples by opening its "Modern Wedding Contest" to same-sex lovers. :scared:

After a meeting with gay and lesbian activists, NBC's "Today" show said it is changing the rules for its annual wedding contest to allow homosexual "couples" to apply for a wedding ceremony conducted on morning TV.

Read NBC's official pro-gay statement here.

NBC extended the deadline for applications until Monday to accomodate homosexuals who want to get "married" on a live television airing of the show in October.

4. Does anyone who gives to the AFA even watch Today to begin with?
I would peg AFA donors/members to be hard core Fox and Friends viewers if they bother to watch any morning news programs.

5. I wrote to AFA thanking them for letting me know :)
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 02:44 PM by digitaln3rd
Thank you for your report on NBC recognizing same-sex couples in their wedding programs. I was not aware they had decided to do this.

As a result, I have decided to watch the Today Show regularly and I will suggest to all my other friends to do so as well.

This is a wonderful step towards inclusion for all and will strengthen families for years to come. Much like the rest of the developing world have allowed people to marry and raise families regardless of sexual orientation so shall America too, in time.

In conclusion, please stop assuming that same-sex couples can not create a loving family environment. I happen to know several couples that have adopted children and they couldn't be happier. They are some of the most caring parents I have seen.

Thank you,
<Name>


:D

6. Why does the AFA care about other people's sex lives? You'd think they'd have better things to do!

12. I have this theory that those who cant get laid take it out on those who can.
The AFA is *THE* sole reason for my theory.

7. hey while they're busy canceling their viewership here are some additional suggestions
Why don't you cancel your insurance membership because YOUR premium dollars are going to pay for homosexual babies being born, and some being conceived, nevermind that one terribly unfortunate time you slipped in the shower and had a ghastly rectal accident with your shampoo bottle.

Why don't you cancel your McDonalds, KFC, Chili's, Church's, Burger King, Wendy's, TGIF, and any-other-restaurant-you-can-think-of eatership, and also your salon hairdresserhip, and while you're at it, stop paying your HOA's because it's going to pay for upkeep of your gaybor's lawn and grounds, AND if you ever go to an emergency room and need a trauma physician, you should consider just dying (please, we beg you) before allowing yourself to be treated by a homosexual professional. And if you opt to shame yourself and accept treatment from a gay physician, remember the person who regularly cleaned your bedpan during your rectal post shampoo-bottle surgical extraction may have had considerably more empathy for you than you do for them, ironically.

Reject that raise and bonus from your homosexual boss! Take a stand! In fact, if you are ever ON the stand in a courtroom with a gay lawyer or judge, be sure to to tell them how you hold homosexuals in contempt and beneath the law.

Just remember what you do with your junk is your business, and what everyone else does with their junk is your business too. In your world. And you are the only person in your world so I suggest you get better acquainted with your own junk than with mine.

What is the matter with these fucking pathetic bags of piss poor protoplasm?

9. What must it be like to spend your life obsessed about gays?
We often note that conservatives appear to live lives dominated by fear and hate, as demonstrated by this absurd outburst about the "Today" show. But have you ever thought about what such a life would be like at a nitty-gritty, moment-to-moment level? It would be a living hell! You would have to be constantly on the lookout for frightening examples of the many, many things that you fear: homosexuals, black people, "attacks" on "victimized" Christianists (and their holidays), constant socialism (whatever that is) from the evil, terrifying Obama administration, more homosexuals, immigrants, public schools teaching anti-God heresy like evolution and climate change, and Good God are there still more homosexuals standing right over there?

Conservatives who are afraid of everything will spend their entire wretched lives quaking in fear. Serves them right! It's a fitting punishment for those whose mental unfitness is bringing the country down for the rest of us.
