TV Station Refuses To Air Ad About Gay Republican Soldier

Its not about moving. Or marrying. Its about an ad. And if he doesn't like it, he can put the ad in with someone else.

 

The TV station called it a personal issue that's controversial. But for gay marriage to move one way or another it will take politicians to make it happen and pass the laws. Therefore, I see this as a political commercial, albeit one that won't do anything substantial. The TV station should have ran the ad but it's also their right not to.

 

Why not?

If businesses were allowed to openly discriminate, there would be no confusion and if the business was discriminating against blacks in, say, Compton, they'd be forced to close with no business at all.

Why not let the free market do its thing?

If you had a racist business that said 'no browns allowed', well that's the businesses' choice to not serve browns. Its also their choice to lose out on 'browns' business.

Every business that was discriminatory would either close, or if they remained open, it's because enough people agree with the message.

Simple.

 

I don't care if people agree with their message, the country that is my home is not a place that I want hate and stupidity enshrined in signs on store windows and store policies. That kind of hate is poisonous and we are less of a nation and a people if we allow it to fester when and where we do not have to.

 

Actually military service does not transcend to politics, look at past military leaders that became President, none of them were all that successful. Well many Cons seemed to want to make a huge deal out of the fact that he was a decorated vet as if it somehow reflected on the Palin's. Nope he is talking about equal rights under the law, that is what You do not seem to be able to see or grasp.

 

You are right, most Americans do not care and would like the issue to just go away. SSM didn't even enter Gallups poll of the top 20 issues for 2016. Government/politicans/government was number one followed by the economy in general, unemployment, healthcare, immigration, the debt, ethics, education...

SSM is hot on political sites like this one, but not with the general public. Making a living, living their daily lives and watching who wins dancing with the stars or their favorite sport all have more priority.

 

Aside from political commercials, television and radio stations have the right to accept or reject commercials as they deem necessary.

so WRCB is refusing to support the rights of our soldiers now?

 

After being a life- long Democrat, since Carter ,I’ll be voting Republican for several reasons such as the disproportionate proliferation of HOMOSEXUAL TV programs and movies and the GUN GRAB ATTEMPTS by the Democratic Party. But , these next reasons really burns me up ! Recently, an openly HOMOSEXUAL teacher in EFLAND , N.C. a few days ago read the book,” KING AND KING “, TO HIS 3RD GRADE CLASS. It’s the story of TWO HOMOSEXUAL PRINCES getting married and it shows them kissing. Also The Girl Scouts of America has been FORCED, by HOMOSEXUAL Groups, TO ACCEPT BOYS WHO IDENTIFY AS GIRLS . People this is beyond the pale. The rampant proliferation of this kind of behavior is what we can expect if we continue to let the 2% TAIL OF THE HOMOSEXUAL POPULATION continue to WAG THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The REPUBLICAN PARTY is our last hope in maintaining some kind of MORAL COMPASS AND TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES that are the foundation of this Country . Voting in a another Democratic president will give them the opportunity to appoint 3-4 new Liberal Supreme Court Justices giving the Court a LIBERAL MAJORITY FOR GENERATIONS. Meaning we can expect more of this. The following is the Genesis of a Lawsuit filed in 2006 against the reading of the HOMOSEXUAL BOOK.”KING AND KING” TO 7 YEAR OLDS IN A CLASSROOM.

Funny how you can’t read a lesson from the bible in a classroom .but you can PROMOTE HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE TO 2ND AND 3RD GRADERS !!!!

In 2006 Robb and Robin Wirthlin and David and Tonia Parker filed a federal lawsuit against the school district of Eastbrook Elementary School, which their second graders attended in Lexington, Massachusetts. The Wirthlins' son's teacher had read King & King aloud to the class as part of an educational unit on weddings. Parents countered that the school's job was to teach about the world and that Massachusetts sanctioned same-sex marriage The plaintiffs claimed that using the book in school constituted sex education without parental notification, which would be a violation of their civil rights and state law. Robin Wirthlin appeared on CNN, saying
“ We felt like seven years old is not appropriate to introduce homosexual themes. My problem is that this issue of romantic attraction between two men is being presented to my seven-year-old as wonderful, and good and the way things should be. Let us know and let us excuse our child from the discussion. ”

HERE’S WHAT THE LIBERAL JUDGES RULED: IF THIS IS THE KIND OF RULINGS YOU WANT , ELECT ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT


The judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying "Diversity is a hallmark of our nation. The Wirthlins and the Parkers appealed the decision; a three-judge panel of the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in favor of the school. Judge Sandra Lynch, writing for the court, rejected the plaintiff's argument that their religious beliefs were being singled out as well as their argument that their First Amendment right to free exercise of religion was violated, writing, "There is no evidence of systemic indoctrination. There is no allegation that [the second-grader] was asked to affirm gay marriage. Requiring a student to read a particular book is generally not coercive of free exercise rights." The court also ruled that the parents' substantive due process rights were not violated, as these rights did not legally give them the degree of control they sought over the curriculum.

TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS !

 

That certainly captures my indifference to the vast majority of television commercials, but I've never been so concerned that I've felt compelled to proclaim my lack of interest in them all on a public forum.

 

legalize it and it goes away, just becomes another marriage and I could care less about anyone's marriage that I do not know

most people just say live and let live, if they want to marry, let them for goodness sakes

.

 

I'll be voting Republican, after being a lifelong Democrat, from here on out for two reasons. First, I'm Fed UP With 95% Of The Entertainment Industry Being Controlled By The 2-5% HOMOsexual Community. Almost every movie or TV show today has HOMOsexual component in it , promoting HOMOsexuality like it's a normal alternative lifestyle to millions of impressionable and confused adolescents in PRIME TIME every night, Well, It’s Not Normal, It’s a Mental Or Physical Disorder That Needs To Be Treated Like You’d Treat Schizophrenia Or Cancer Secondly, I'm friggin tired of the Democrats trying to curb my gun ownership rights with False Flag Events like Sandy Hook which was nothing but a Poorly Executed FEMA / Homeland Security Capstone Drill Modeled after The Dunblane Scotland School Shooting in the 90'S where Hand Gun Ownership was Totally Banned in Great Britain a Year Later which is their goal here. There are 10's of millions of Gun Owning Democrats that are against THE HOMOsexual Agenda that is High Jacking The Democratic Party . Also , there are 10's 0f millions Democratic Men of all Races saying they'll vote for Hillary in public, But Never Will Inside That Voting Booth ,Guaranteed. Republicans will win the 2016 Presidential Race by a Landslide !!!
Here's a small % of TV shows with Homosexual Characters or Content without doing an in depth search ,let's see we have the one that started it all Will and Grace, then Aquarius , Grace & Frankie ,Six Feet Under , Girls, The L Word, The Walking Dead , The Following, Empire , Backstrom , Chicago Fire , The Royals ,The Big Bang Theory, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bored to Death , The Cleveland Show, King of the Hill, South park, The Simpsons, Glee, The 100 Black Sails, Madame Secretary , Gotham , Kingdom, How to get Away With Murder, The Modern Family, Dominion, Tyrant, The Night Shift, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Penny Dreadful, Nurse Jackie ,Star Crossed, The Fall , Peaky Blinders , Wentworth , Defiance, Hemlock Grove, Hannibal , The Bridge , Under The Dome ,Ray Donavan , Orphan Black, Banshee, Betrayal , House of Cards , Alpha House , Masters of Sex , Nashville, Da Vinci's Demons , Arrow, Sons of Anarchy Orange is the New Black, Sherlock ,Skins , Lip Service, How I met your Mother, Xena ,Prison Break , Homicide Life On The Streets , East Enders , Teen Wolf , Torchwood, Sex and the City , Bad Girls ,True Blood , Spartacus ,Game of Thrones , The Vampire Dairies , Shameless , Q ueer As Folk , The Wire ,The Office , Weeds ,Ripper Street , Schitt’s Creek , Eye Candy ,Transparent, The Flash ,Chasing Life ,Hit The Floor ,Dracula , Dates , The Originals ,A Place To Call Home , The Fosters , The Carrie Dairies , Undateable , and American Horror Story just to mention a few there are dozens more. YOU GETTIN THE PICTURE !

 

I'm sorry how does him marrying someone effect anyone else's life?

Please be specific.

 

OH NO!! Gays are on television shows....LIKE THEY'RE ACTUALLY REAL PEOPLE AND PART OF SOCIETY!!!

Good for you. Get over yourself.

 

Does this same TV station run news stories about heterosexual soldiers returning home and getting married? Do they (*)(*)(*)(*) on heterosexuals by not reporting on their wedding plans?

 

How come we owe something to this man - who is using his military experience as a political tool by the way - for going to the war zone? I am thankful but in no way it gives him a right to claim something from other citizens. Remember it was his choice to join the military and serve this country after all. Do straight veterans should be displayed in TV ads for going to Iraq and Afghanistan?

 

Ok I cant speak for what cons wanted but it's pretty silly to think his military service is anyway a reflection on Palin.

Homosexuals have equal rights under the law. Now if you'd like to discuss his freedom of choice that's a different matter.

 

Chances are the SCOTUS will do just that next month. My point was the the posters I originally replied to was SSM isn't important to most Americans. What happens to it happens and most could care less. Very few will allow SSM to decide whom they will vote for and those are probably in the very low single digits.

 

Any criticism should be based on common sense, don't you think so?
I am not against gay marriage but there is one thing that bothers me about this kind of gays. They whine too much. Probably this trait is inherited from previous generations of LGBT activists. Some people in this country don't want to take part in gays vs. conservatives quarrels and therefore ignore the topic completely. What is the reason for criticism in this case?

 

There not 95% of Society. That;s just a partial list practically every damn show on tv has a Homosexual character or theme including to of the newest,
Aquarius &, Grace and Frankie. The opening Credits on Grace and Frankie was enough to make me throw up ! I understand they got Martin Sheen Kissing another dude on it in a bed scene. Phyqueing sick !!!!!!!

 

It doesn't have any impact on my life. But what does his military service have to do with him being gay? just because he served doesn't make homosexual marriage a moral institution or even normal. And just to be clear I think government should be out of the marriage business. It's a religious matter to me and Jesus didn't say husband love your husband. Of course I understand we live in a secular world and that's why I don't think government should license marriages only keep a record of them and only be involved when problems arise as with other contacts between individuals.

 

You got me wrong. I am not attacking their right for free speech. I am curios what is the reason behind criticism in this case. Looks like nowadays you have to openly support gay marriage - simply ignoring the topic is not enough anymore - in order to be respected citizen in the eyes of liberal public.

 

I could not agree more.
I don't care about gay marriage (as most Americans do). SSM is a hot topic for radicalized public only - both liberal and conservative. Therefore I am surprised by gay community, pretty adequate in general, attacking TV channels for not supporting their crusade against bigotry and intolerance. 'I don't care' should be enough in suchlike cases.

 

You say 3.8% as if that's the only part of America who agrees with gay marriage. Obviously that's not the case...

You complain about having the right to ignore people, but don't recognize the right of others to express their opinion. OK...

But it's not like Gay people are personally soliciitng Buzzfeed to make a big fuss about this. They see something potentially charging, stick a camera at it, and watch people nag and whine about it like it's the end of the world.

Seems to be working....again.

 

Exactly. I don't see it as an LGBT against conservatives controversy. To my it is just a business issue. Tennessee population is conservative and probably doesn't want to see pro-gays ads on TV. What would be the outcome for this channel if they air the clip? Their money would be lost. Nobody can be forced into losing money, even in the name of equality and tolerance.
