I DON’T GET IT? WHY SOME PARENTS PROTEST AGAINST LGTB PEOPLE AND THEIR KIDS ARE SEEING LGBT CHARACTERS ON CARTOONS AND PARENTS DON’T SAY NOTHING? ARE THEY HIPOCRITE?
Ok, sorry for the long title but it was a question as you could see. Ok, I was zapping channels and I saw one protest of parents who support HE8T and a group of gays who were countering the protest of HE8T. The people of HE8T argued that gays are immoral and that goes against every value of society. A few months ago where I was living my schizophrenic cousin she said something similar as the people of the rally, I thought “ok that’s her opinion” but then when her eldest grandkids arrived and they changed the channel to Nickelodeon and tuned the show Barnyard she didn’t said nothing about the transsexual cow Otis. What the hell a cow-man?!, the only logical explanation I can see is that Otis represents a transmen, because “he” and “his” lady-cow have a son, have a son.
I know is a cartoon and I know you will call me stupid, but is only an example to illustrate my point, that people critique when they want to, and I see many attitudes as hypocrisy because people will try to justify their bigotry points of view even when many attitudes are more open today, and if we take a closer look those positive attitudes toward the GLBT community you can see that they are more open, take a look on your daily programming and you will see gay and lesbian characters. So If you feel uncomfortable watching T.V. because of these people, then don’t turn on your television.
