OK, this is why I am angry

A documentary about gay people in the south is being used as an excuse to kill public television.

All research into human sexual behavior is described as deviant and horrible and evil and bad. So we’re never going to get any good science on the subject. Instead, we get people like Judith Reisman:

She claims that Kinsey actively solicited pedophiles to molest children and report back to him. In fact, she said, “there is absolutely no reason to believe that Kinsey himself was not involved in the sexual abuse of these children.” (None of Kinsey’s four biographers have turned up any evidence that he was.) Reisman also believes that Kinsey died not from heart failure but from what she calls “brutal, repetitive self-abuse.”

That’s right– we have no evidence one way or the other, so let’s call him a pedophile, and claim he died from masturbating. Also, she believes in gay Nazis and homosexual “recruitment.” In other words, science and learning have been replaced with dogma and conspiracy theories in the halls of legislature.

So, bring on the lies which we will tell to our children in classrooms and textbooks– after those books which feature or describe or mention homosexuality are burned.. Also, we’ll promote our lies with a “fun” and “hip” approach in tacky, overpriced, poorly-designed websites. Sites as Cool 2b Real and Zip4Tweens. Sometimes I think my job (marketing) consists of aiming low, advocating for mediocrity, and basically describing ugly realities in pleasant terms– and then I think of the people who build those sites, and wonder how hard it was to make the choice between moral and financial bankruptcy? Why can’t you do something decent, like the folks at Scarleteen, huh?

Yep, we love our childrens (this is has been going on for some time now). We love them so much that if we disapprove of their parents we’ll pull their health insurance. We love them so much we won’t announce that we welcome them at church, because it’s kind of controversial, and might be against national policy.

So, that’s why I’m angry today.
