No that was _NOT_ the very explicit Reason given By both GE and Viacom. [*] Not that I expect anything better from a Bigot like JDG. JDG clearly approves, and is an apologist for these kinds of Bigots. [*]: According to a written explanation from CBS, the United Church of Christ is being denied network access because its ad implies acceptance of gay and lesbian couples -- among other minority constituencies -- and is, therefore, too "controversial." "Because this commercial touches on the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups by other individuals and organizations," reads an explanation from CBS, "and the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks." ------ You've got to be taught To hate and fear, You've got to be taught >From year to year, It's got to be drummed In your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught.
