Re: TV Preacher shows Homose

I wonder why fundies complain about homosexuality on TV.   After all,
Ellen wasn't the only one to use it in the past month...

For your reference, Coral Ridge Ministries is the ministry of D.
James Kennedy in Florida.

Does anyone want to complain to the FCC for a religious preacher
showing graphic homosexual sex at 9:30am on a Sunday during a
G-rated programming zone?

Check out this!  :)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor:

This past Sunday morning at 9:30 am, KGAN aired a program by the
Coralridge Ministrys that was one of the most offensive programs
I've seen.

It showed graphic homosexual scenes, and stated the life
expectancy for non HIV+ gay men is 34. They claim the three
leading causes of death for gays are AIDS, drug and alcohol
abuse, and domestic violence.

I am angered that KGAN would air such a program when children
would see this while looking for cartoons. I am even more
outraged that it aired a program with Nazi tactics thinly veiled
under Christianity. They also noted a jump in gay-teen suicide
in recent years. Is there any wonder? Young men and women are
confused and scared by their natural feelings and they are being
told by people, who represent God, that they are sick and peverse
for seeking love and happiness.

Is this the fundamentals of Christianity? It scares me to think
that this American Hitler is allowed on the airwaves. I urge
everyone to make your voices heard -- free speech is one thing, but
lies designed to ostracize a portion of society, deemed
unacceptable, is another.

KGAN must be held accountable for the programs they air. There is
no excuse for broadcasting lies and ignornace to bolster ratings.
I hope that Eastern Iowa will value all families, and all members
of that family, and speak out loudly and clearly.
