"We have to protect people'
President Bush wants 'pro-homosexual' drama banned. Gary Taylor meets the politician in charge of making it happen

What should we do with US classics like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or The Color Purple? "Dig a hole," Gerald Allen recommends, "and dump them in it." Don't laugh. Gerald Allen's book-burying opinions are not a joke.
Earlier this week, Allen got a call from Washington. He will be meeting with President Bush on Monday. I asked him if this was his first invitation to the White House. "Oh no," he laughs. "It's my fifth meeting with Mr Bush."
I'm so glad that Bush the Lesser's time is taken up with such important things as endorsing censorship and moral weeniehood. *spitrs to get rid of foul taste in mouth*
Your right to determine what YOU think is acceptable for YOU is under attack, people. Books, music, religion, morality... they want to take away your choices and replace them with theirs. Pre fixe menus are great for lunch, but I prefer to live a little more a la carte, thanks. How about you?

Date: 2004-12-10 09:05 am (UTC)One of the shows most popular with Republicans, especially Republican women ages 18 to 34, turned out to be "Will & Grace," the sitcom about gay life in New York. As a result, while Mr. Bush was shoring up his conservative credentials by supporting a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage, his advertising team was buying time on a program that celebrates gay culture.
Actually, I don't find that a surprise. The gay characters on "Will and Grace" are either mainstream and sex-less, like Will, or the gay version of "Step'n'fetchit", from an actor who refuses to say publicly that he's gay. That's exactly how many Republicans like their homosexuals. Just don't ask to be treated like an equal human being.
