If and only if? What are the if and only if conditions for heterosexual couples? Your statement above leads me to believe you view homosexuality as inferior... Less than normal, only sexual. > A person's sexual orientation should be of NO consequence, > and is shouldn't even be the business of anyone else. If, I agree... So let shows have all kinds of people on there.. Heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, trisexuals... Who cares! > however, the intent is to discuss differences in sexual > orientation, and people of different orientations agree to > discuss their personal situations for the means of > understanding, that is fine. There does not need to be an intent of sexual orientation for a person other than "straight" appearing on a show.. How foolish. > It then becomes the responsibility of parent to decide.

Etc. etc. If the parent leaves the child watching tv unattended, then the choice of when to bring it up ultimately resides with the child; when he/she sees something that they haven't been exposed to. If the parent is there, they can make a decision for the child: change the channel or address the issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:144838 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
