This is the scene from this week’s Glee that upset some conservative groups.
No one would have predicted that a show with openly gay and bisexual characters, characters open in their sexual orientations since the first season, would p**s off a bunch of repressed homophobes. Perhaps that language is a little strong. Every one’s entitled to their own opinion. They’re not ‘repressed homophobes’. They’re ‘mildly annoyed homophobes expressing an opinion with which I do not agree’. There. Fixed. Said group, who go by the name of The Conservative Media Research Center, are mildly annoyed about the gay neck-nuzzling and reference to ‘scissoring’, that even threw me for a second, on this week’s episode of Glee. I watched the episode and saw the girl-on-girl action that got everyone talking. It was a few seconds and both girls were fully dressed.
It was more neck kissing than making-out. Then Santana Lopez says ‘It’s a nice change from all that scissoring’ (a non geo-blocked video of the scene can be watched at the Jezebel review of this week’s show). For those who don’t know of the phrase or where the band Scissor Sisters got their name… you’re going to have to look it up, as I don’t know how to describe it without using obscene hand gestures to demonstrate. The show airs at 8PM and seems to have hit a nerve. Probably with parents who had to explain scissoring to confused children watching the show. It was called ‘a disgusting gay teen sex romp’ by the same group.
Dan Gainor, VP of Business and Culture at the Conservative Media Research Center, says based on this latest episode the shows creator, Ryan Murphy, ‘spends his days fantasizing about teen girls scissoring on the bed in what the media tell us is a family-friendly show.’ It should be noted that this comment is on the hilarious side of inflammatory as, if nothing else, Murphy is openly gay.

What do you expect when the creator of this POS show is gay. They are working on kids and parents don’t even know it. Just wait until your little girl comes home and proclaims she is gay after watching this POS show.
People who do not approve of homosexual activity are not afraid of homosexuals, which the word homophobe implies. You cannot dictate what other people believe or feel. You certainly cannot go above the authority of God Almighty in your attempts to make homosexuality okay and approved by society.
Plenty of people are not in favor of homosexual activity, yet are not afraid of homosexuals. The thing homosexuals and their supporters should worry about are all the people who say that they approve and support them, but only say that because it is the PC thing to say, and they are afraid to say otherwise, having been bullied into taking such a public position.
The only thing I feel is required is that no one is physically harmed by those who disapprove of those perversions.
The use of the word homophobe is a bullying technique meant to intimidate and sideline people with sincere religious and moral beliefs. Liberals and homosexuals are the worst kind of bullies, mean and threatening.
So, calling someone a homophobe is worse than protesting a gay man’s funeral? Or bullying him until he kills himself? Or denying him legal rights that everyone else is entitled to?
You should be ashamed of yourself. God provides a message of love and peace; if you believe God has a problem with homosexuals, then you should try to avoid becoming a homosexual. Let God judge those who think otherwise.
Spreading hatred, fear, shame and judgement on others is against God. Did Jesus ever express hatred or disdain against those who opposed his beliefs? Absolutely not. Judgement is in God’s hands, and no one else’s. Christians are here to spread God’s love, not his punishment.
Karin: You have made Linda’s point for her. Her point of view is as valid as yours because it’s the way she feels. If you can’t post a thoughtful comment without insulting those with an opposing point of view then perhaps message boards are not for you.
Deb,
Linda called the acts she “disapproves” of “perversions”. That’s pretty insulting if you’re on the other side of the fence. I would likewise suggest that no one be physically harmed who approves or engages in these acts. Can’t view this as a one-way street and claim immunity for only one side.
As far as “bullying tactics”, I’m not going to win any friends by saying this but Christianity – at least for most – is all ABOUT bullying people into accepting their beliefs. “Do this/don’t do this or you’re going to Hell”. By preaching this coda to people who don’t believe as they do, they’re essentially trying to force others to submit to them and embrace their beliefs as their own. However, they do it with the presumption (not that they would call it that) that they have the moral high ground and are absolute in their certainty that they’re right and superior by way of their unshakable faith. People who don’t share their beliefs don’t see it that way. How do you argue with a fanatic who believes their way is absolutely the “right way” because a supreme entity tells them so when they’re arguing from a position of faith and not fact? People can believe whatever they want but that doesn’t make them RIGHT.
