Entertainment Weekly Cover Sends Wingnuts Into Frenzy

The Christo-fascists of the far right cannot tolerate anything that depicts gays as mainstream and/or doesn't depict us as emotionally disturbed and an element of society to be shunned and denigrated. One of the latest examples of the extremism of our enemies is the conniption fit occurring over the photo of Chris Colfer and Darren Criss on the cover of a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly. The photos is harmless and the magazine contains an article about the depiction of gay teens on television. Perennial loon, Brent Bozell's panties are in a major wad over the cover photo and article in question and has written a rant about pro-gay propaganda on the winger news site "Newsbusters." Of course if any news outlets disseminate propaganda, it's outlets like Newsbusters and similar anti-gay, anti-modernity sites loved by the Bible beaters and their minions. Among the comments on Bozell's piece is on that states "there is abuse or some family issue that drives these young men and women into this lifestyle." Hatred of others - be they gay, black, non-Christian, etc., - is not a Christian value per the Gospels, yet that is Bozell's main stock in trade. Indeed, if one wants a good reason to reject being a Christian, the writings of Bozell are a good starting point. Here are highlights of his verbal diarrhea:
*
If anyone doubts that our entertainment industry and our entertainment media are evangelists for a revolution of sexual immorality (or in their lingo, “progress”), he needs only to read the latest cover story in Entertainment Weekly magazine, a “special report” on gay teen characters on TV, and “How a bold new class of young gay characters on shows like 'Glee' is changing hearts, minds, and Hollywood.”
*
Colfer just won a Golden Globe for his part, which is another way the Hollywood press rewards propagandizing the youth of America. In his acceptance speech, he lamented anyone who would say a discouraging word about teen homosexuality, somehow putting all of those words in mouths of bullies: “Screw that, kids!”
*
Their most controversial scene was the two private school boys singing “Baby, It's Cold Outside” to each other on the Fox show. “That was the gayest thing that has ever been on TV, period, “ Colfer boasted. The magazine touted this was the hottest-selling track on the “Glee” Christmas album, which gives you a flavor of Hollywood's reverence for that holy day.
*
As you might suspect, Entertainment Weekly didn't plan to debate gay teen propaganda, but to encourage it, energetically. Not a single soul had anything critical to say. Not even a question. . . . They are not celebrating diversity. They are intimidating dissidents.
*
One of the leading cable channels in this revolution is ABC Family, which has come a very long distance from its origins as a Pat Robertson channel. Entertainment Weekly crowed that they top GLAAD's “Network Responsibility Index” – as in, you have a responsibility to engage in didactic pro-gay messaging. Most of ABC Family's teen shows seem to have a sympathetic gay character: “Greek,” “Huge,” Pretty Little Liars,” and “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.”
*
ABC Family vice president Kate Juergens underlined that the children are expecting this: “With our millennial audience, it's what they expect to see...'Don't Ask Don't Tell' was such a vestige of an older generation.”
*
Some might say it's best to let Bozell and those like him rant and vent their hatred since the more he/they do so, the faster the younger generations will walk away from the hate based values of conservative Christianity which, in my view, is an evil in the world just as foul as fundamentalists Islam.
