And it took a majority of the denomination to cave in to the pressure and allow same sex fake church “marriages” and actively homosexual and “transgender” fake “ordinations” to happen.

Study the history of the LGBT groups. They have used the same gradual approach to get average people used to the idea. First a few, then a few more. A majority did not appear overnight. It took years.
 
Differences aside, Baptists and Evangelicals can be great at systematic theology and exegesis. And their devotion to the Sabbath puts many Catholics to shame.

Exactly. Now the targets are the big churches. The strategy is the same that was used in secular culture.
 
Allow me to change a few words from the message by GLAAD’s President:

"We know the unique power of entertainment to change hearts and minds and the impact that nuanced [Christian] characters can have on audiences.

“That is why [Christian Media Watch] was founded, and why we continue the work today to hold Hollywood accountable for the images they are portraying.”
 
High time to do something just like that. We need maximum effort toward evangelism. Even if it’s subversive.
 
Such as The Impastor and The Young Pope. I’m sure some people get the “right” wrong ideas from them.

That’s incorrect. A decades long campaign of constant pressure affected people.

That’s not correct. The people in churches that voted to be more inclusive for LGBT people didn’t do so because of a “campaign of constant pressure”. In many cases the congregations that send voting delegates to church assemblies changed because many members in those churches discovered that they knew friends, relatives, coworkers and other church members that are LGBT. And LGBT members in many congregations started a dialogue with other members which mostly involved them telling their own stories. As I said above, the most important thing in changing people’s minds was discovering that people they knew and loved are gay or lesbian or transgender. I know that just by coming out, I’ve changed the way that straight people I know see LGBT people, people in my family, people in the churches I’ve attended, etc. That personal contact and personal testimony by myself and other LGBT people has been much more important than organizations like GLAAD in getting congregations to change.

On the contrary. LGBT groups are global. Their action is global. And that means constant pressure. For example: President Obama “evolved” on the issue of same-sex marriage after threats by LGBT groups did not stop. They were not subtle.

It is allowed for people to change their minds. But President Obama probably “evolved” because he’s a politician and politicians don’t usually support something until they think that it’s safe to do so and in doing so, they won’t lose more votes than what they will gain by changing their position. Supporting same-sex marriage just wasn’t a safe thing for a politician in a nationwide office to support when he first became president.
 
“Gay friendly” TV is not good for kids or adults. It seems some are OK with Hollywood being held accountable by an LGBT group. What would happen if it were a Christian group trying to hold them accountable?
 
What would happen? Probably this:

What about this organization?
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights , often shortened to the Catholic League , is an American Catholic anti-defamation and civil rights organization. The Catholic League states that it “defends the right of Catholics – lay and clergy alike – to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination.” The Catholic League states that it is “motivated by the letter and the spirit of the First Amendment…to safeguard both the religious freedom rights and the free speech rights of Catholics whenever and wherever they are threatened.” According to the Encyclopedia of American Religion and Politics , the League “is regarded by many as the preeminent organization representing the views of American lay Catholics.”

The Catholic League has taken a stand against anything they perceive as anti-Catholic, including the entertainment industry, certain art exhibits, school programs for sex education, government-funded contraception and abortion, media bias, restrictions against pro-life activism, and restrictions on religious schools. It publishes a journal, Catalyst , and operates a website.

And just imagine, the Catholic League has, as the Wikipedia article says, “taken a stand against anything they perceive as anti-Catholic, including the entertainment industry…media bias,” etc. It’s absolutely unbelievable that they would try to influence the entertainment industry and the media…

If the show is trying to “normalize” homosexual behaviour you should not allow your daughter to continue to see it.
 
I watch a certain amount of TV to make sure I report what’s going on accurately. My point is: this is a media-wide push on all platforms. It’s not isolated. I would not want gay people to be portrayed badly on the media, but yes, I saw a character with very little personal history to realizing one day, I’m gay. And if that character continued on as a character who was gay, fine. But no, first a relationship that failed and a one-night stand. Some gay people say they don’t want to be defined by their sexuality but that’s exactly what’s happening. And Hollywood knows it’s being watched. That it “will be held responsible.”

For Christians, calling something adult does not allow for objectionable material. No one should believe “I can handle it.”

It’s the ubiquitous crying leftist image. There’s about a thousand meme variations floating around, lol!
 
It’s interesting to read about what the Catholic League does from their own web site:

What Does the Catholic League Do?​

When slanderous assaults are made against the Catholic Church, the Catholic League hits the newspapers, television, and radio talk shows defending the right of the Church to promote its teachings with as much verve as any other institution in society.
  • When Catholics are the victims of a bigoted portrayal by the media, the Catholic League issues news releases bringing the matter to the attention of the public. It may also encourage a boycott of the program’s sponsors.
  • When Catholic students or employees are denied their rights in school or on the job, the Catholic League makes a formal response to the guilty parties; the league’s response may include litigation.
  • When the religious freedom rights of any American are threatened, the Catholic League stands ready to fight for justice in the courts.
  • When Catholics are slighted by public officials, the Catholic League calls press conferences alerting the public to the unacceptable behavior of their servants.
  • When Catholic interests are unfairly represented by public policy initiatives, the Catholic League offers testimony before legislative bodies to set the record straight.
  • When officials in government, the media and education need an informed perspective on Catholic civil rights issues, the Catholic League provides a quick and effective response.
The above list is hardly inclusive of all Catholic League activities, but it does provide some idea of what we do. In essence, the Catholic League monitors the culture, acting as a watchdog agency and defender of the civil rights of all Catholics. Much of what we do is reported in our monthly journal.

It looks kind of similar to what all civil rights and anti-defamation organizations do for their particular communities, including what GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT organizations do for the LGBT community and what the Anti-Defamation League does for the Jewish community. Are all these different communities pushing an “agenda” because they have these kinds of organizations, or is it only the LGBT community that has an “agenda”?
