Maybe cucumbers to cucumbers? Would that be better?

I really think you're onto something here. What are some other minorities that we can exclude from national TV? Jews? Blacks? What about animals? They don't even watch TV!

I hate shows that portray blacks as normal people; I mean we all know the majority are criminals and/or rappers who want to kill all white people. It's a fact!

Correct. The idea that the hatred for homosexuals is somehow dying is blatant ignorance. I mean racism ended with the Voting Rights Act, duh.

The idea that the majority hate homosexuals most certainly is. Of course there's always going to be bigotry, no one ever said it would be completely gone.

Probably not but I don't think it's as overwelming as you think.

But he said "America", not just the South.

Actually I bet it is easily 75%. Think about it: the South is primarily religious, heavily so actually. There were more churches in my town than anything else growing up. This environment leads me to one conclusion: homosexuality will never be accepted in the South for religious reasons. Of course, there were religious excuses, straight from the Bible, made up during slavery and segregation to justify those actions, but you cannot escape what the Bible ultimately states about homosexuals. That's why ultimately I feel like the South has become one of the more racially tolerant areas in America (*uck Jon Stewart) because they were convinced religiously, through individuals like MLK and Ralph Abernathy, that their hatred was misplaced. In the end, from my knowledge on the subject, homosexuality is difficult if not impossible to justify using the ENTIRE Bible, not just the New Testament. That's important because I think most Christians in the South do not adhere to this new theology of the "Old Testament doesn't matter cuz Jesus" that has become very mainstream in the mega churches.

It doesn't hurt you or anybody in any way shape or form, so why do you care who somebody loves?

That's not the point here. I don't give a *hit if someone is gay, but the majority of Americans absolutely do. The referendums on gay marriage are proof enough. For Christ's sake CALIFORNIA passed Prop 8. CALIFORNIA!

I sort of agree but the hardline churches are dying. The more "hip" laid back mega churches are taking over and most hardly even talk about homosexuality much less condemn it.

I'm not saying it's not slow but even in my limited world I've seen an almost 180 on how it's been recieved.

but hatred like the neanderthal in this thread stated I do not see.

Sure, and I feel like more and more people are starting to feel the same way. They aren't ok with it, but they also don't want something negative to occur to such a person just because of their sexuality.

If you don't give a ish, then obviously the question wasn't directed at you. I'm accepting of any and every one, I don't get the hate people spew about something that doesn't hurt anyone.

Yeah I know, that's why I said it wasn't directed at him.

I just grew up in a really small, all white town that wasn't accepting of anything different. Luckily I didn't adopt the same attitude, and I've just never understood hating people for being different. Edited for a left turn lol

Too bad there isn't a politics forum on this site…. If there was I bet there'd be about 10,000 threads already discussing this topic.

Oh well...

I hate when people bring up churches. I'm a Christian & I could give a flying fk what someone does with there life. The bible tells us not to judge to instead pray and attempt to show the path of the Lord and savior to there life. If two dudes wanna be together so be it. They wanna kiss, so be it. Making a big deal out of a scene where it doesn't even show there lips making contact makes absolute no sense & add that it'd be better if two girls done it makes it absurd.

I agree with everything, but your last sentence. Two hotties making out is ok in my book

How did the thread about a zombie show turn into this? If you thought it was an icky scene then just do whatever you do. Say, "eww gross!" and move on from it.
Let's get back to less political topics, shall we?
Like, I wonder what happens to the souls of these walkers. Is it a purgatory situation?
