Homosexuality in Children's TV

I'm not really sure what the Bible has to do with children's television. Or politics. Wasn't there a separate thread for this? The "Random thread for Homosexuality and Stuff" or something thread?

To summarize: The ratings association for American movies is comprised of Hollywood parents, who are absurdly biased against minorities all of types, use their position of power to villafy said minorities by giving higher ratings to approximately the same content. The association also gives higher rates to the f-bomb depending on the context. As in insult it'll probably get a pg-13, with a sexual context between a guy and a girl it'll get an R, and between an interracial or gay couple it'll get a NC-17. The association hates sex, but minority sex the most.

Absolutely nothing. People are still convinced the "religious right" has a stranglehold in Hollywood even though they obviously don't.

Creators and producers don't want to upset the "traditional" parents who may still be closed off to homosexuality, in turn losing ratings. I suspect that will drastically change within the next few years.

Yeah, the religious right just has a stranglehold on TLC and the Deep South, and no one wants either of those anymore.

There's an entire documentary on the rating system, "This Film is Nit Yet Rated"

Here's a list of sources about the inner workings of Hollywood. Spoiler: it's pretty manufactured.
