GOP senators urge TV ratings board to warn viewers of 'disturbing' LGBTQ content

[butters]

yup, they did. sounds like the same kind of idiots who made a fuss about the teletubbies' Tinky Winky and his handbag.

In a two-page letter dated May 4, Sens. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Mike Lee, R-Utah, Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Steve Daines, R-Mont., made the request to the chairman of the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board.

“In recent years, concerning topics of a sexual nature have become aggressively politicized and promoted in children’s programming, including irreversible and harmful experimental treatments for mental disorders like gender dysphoria,” the letter reads. "To this end, we strongly urge you to update the TV Parental Guidelines and ensure they are up-to-date on best practices that help inform parents on this disturbing content."

The TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board confirmed to NBC News that it had received the senators' letter, but it declined to comment further

Wednesday's letter suggested that parents' "rightfully expressed outrage" should be directed beyond the classroom and at broadcasters for creating children's shows with LGBTQ characters and storylines. It also argued that content on sexual orientation and gender identity "harms child actors."

"The motivations of hyper-sexualized entertainment producers striving to push this content on young audiences are suspect at best and predatory at worst," they wrote.

I always forget that this is only a thing in America because we don't have laws against it.

We should not be allowing companies to advertise medicine and we should make Medicare a human right

Come to think of it, what is the point of advertising medicine? "Ask your doctor if Profitusol is right for you!" When I go to a doctor, I won't ask. I expect the doctor to know what drugs are right for me -- he's the one who went to medical school, and has a Physician's Desk Reference and knows how to use it.

Stranger still, lately I've been seeing a lot of ads on YouTube that only name the drug without saying anything at all about what it does.

Are these TV shows showing graphic depictions of gay porn? Nude guys giving blowjobs to each other? If so, then of course these things have no place on children's television! I don't blame them for being upset. Assuming this is what is happening.

But....somehow I strongly suspect this is not the case. I suspect it's the usual case of far-right anti-gay witch hunt we are all over tired of.

I think the motivation might have something to do with money.

Most Republicans are closet queers with a tenuous grip on their heterosexuality. If they even hear the word cock, they drop to their knees like Cawthorn or get ass fucked like Lindsey Graham. They have such self loathing and hatred, they want to inflict as much pain on everyone else as they can. They are really worthless scum.

Documentaries should also warn Trumpies of factual data. And they should be able to have their TV's set to automatically change to OANN and Newsmax if found

And Netflix warns us if a program has smoking in it.

You should watch Indian films. The warning happens during the scene.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I think they should be more descriptive of the type of nudity a program has. I'm tired of being disappointed by man-ass.

OK, so "LGBTQ content" doesn't mean sexual activity — which I tend to agree should not be in children's programming — but rather, "gay people exist and we depict one in our show." Got it.

Nah, they just have to act gay. They're all straight, really. You know, like "Butch" Liberace.

I remember the whole Larry Craig incident- and that he actually supported anti-GLBT legislation both at the state and national level. There were rumors flying around about his sexuality for years before that story broke.

This is why Lindsey Graham and Condoleeza Rice will never run for president.
