No, lack of education and enlightenment always will be the problem.
 
Education regarding what? Please be specific.

Enlightenment regarding what?
 
Immoral sex? Trump has been linked to porn stars. His man Cohen paid hush money to at least two of them. Cohen has admitted that.

It was a neutral remark. We have a couple of people on the forums who flood every single thread they participate in with their conspiracy theories. They know who they are, and they continue to do it despite others asking them not to. It’s frustrating to those of us who come looking for reasonable debate and dialogue about issues of the day.

What “conspiracy theory” are you referring to in this thread?
(And no, equating people to someone with a paranoia disorder is not a “neutral remark.” Please.)

You seem to know much about how awful the left is. Could you be more specific about what you are saying?
 
You’ll have to be very specific about individual problems with any parts of any post. Tin foil hat is lazy and dismissive. It informs no one.

I don’t by that there is some massive evil agenda to put gay people on TV.

In post #103, edwest showed the results of an organization that tracks TV for LBGT content. I’d say that they have an agenda.
 
… never mind…
Suffice it to say that Mr. Trump’s statements in the media are usually either false or misleading, sometimes for inexplicable reasons.

From GLAAD:

Our areas of expertise​

GLAAD works through entertainment, news, and digital media to share stories from the LGBTQ community that accelerate acceptance.

Spanish language and Latinx Media

Transgender Media

Southern Stories

Global Voices

GLAAD partners with LGBTQ organizations doing work on the ground outside the U.S. and offers support and expertise in media engagement for short-term campaigns. Recent work includes providing social media and influencer support for marriage equality in Ireland, as well as preparing journalists to cover Roman Catholic meetings and events related to marriage and family. Upcoming opportunities include supporting a decriminalization of LGBTQ people in Belize and the rest of the Caribbean, as well as marriage equality in Australia.

New York, NY, June 24, 2019 – GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, today announced the findings of its fifth annual Accelerating Acceptance Index, a national survey among U.S. adults conducted on GLAAD’s behalf by The Harris Poll. The Index measures American attitudes toward LGBTQ people. The percentage of non-LGBTQ adults reporting being ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ comfortable with LGBTQ people across seven scenarios remained stable (49%) after a significant decline last year (49% ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ comfortable in the 2018 report versus 53% in the 2017 report). Importantly, however, this year’s Index found the number of young Americans ages 18-34 who are comfortable across all seven scenarios dropped from 53% to 45%, the second consecutive year that this age group has shown a drop.

Yes, GLAAD has an agenda to promote acceptance of LGBT people in society, that is true. So is this thread just about GLAAD? I had the impression it was about some larger and more powerful entity. GLAAD is simply an advocacy group, like hundreds of others.

Please. There are lots of posts in this thread equating broad swaths of the population with evil, alleging Satanic influence, immoral motives and so on. Tin foil is pretty mild in comparison.

The thread is about the ubiquity of the LGBTQ agenda in entertainment, and GLAAD is the most pointed organizational advocate for furthering that agenda via entertainment and other media outlets.

It is hard to see GLAAD as “simply an advocacy group.” Is NAMBLA “simply an advocacy group”? Is NARAL “simply an advocacy group”?

I say “no,” because the position that is being advanced matters. Special interest groups are not all created equal. Each both advocates for its own agenda AND employs its own methods to achieve particular goals in support of that agenda. Just as there could be a pro-Catholic advocacy group that we’d be forced to oppose if it employed immoral means or misrepresented the faith, just so we need to oppose groups who use moral methods (such as openly informing members and the public about which entertainment companies are sensitive to its demands and which are not, which is not inherently wrong) but are advancing immoral agendas.

Advancing the idea that homosexual partnerships are equally suited to the raison d’ être of marriage as heterosexual partnerships is one such unacceptable agenda. It is not true and it harms the morality of society to pretend that it is true, just as the premises that unilateral no-fault divorce or abortion are simply personal decisions that are none of the business of the rest of society are both untrue.

GLAAD is actively watching what Hollywood does and doesn’t do, unlike other advocacy groups. GLAAD is global. That sort of advocacy is not free. From another site:

GLAAD Report: Hollywood Is Failing LGBT Characters in Its Movies​

Despite recent positive examples— [deleted] —the number of major studio movies with LGBT characters actually fell from 23 in 2016 to 14 in 2017.
