I made the mistake of joining my wife to watch a new CBS drama, titled "The Red Line". The story line allegedly revolves around what happens when a white police man shoots and kills a black man n a store. There are several sub plots. One being the fact that the black man shot, was a gay man in a relationship with a white man. Yes, the TV industry continues to push gay relationships out for us to view. The scenes often have scenes where same sex partners are kissing or engaging in sexual acts that can be shown on TV. This was the case in the "Red Line" on Sunday. A scene of two male characters kissing was prominently displayed.
The past 5 years have featured a number of shows that felt obliged to show the sex life of the characters as an important feature to display visually. The scenes are not necessary to the plot. So why are they being shown? Do producers and executives really believe that the mass public wants to see same sex relationships on TV with partners kissing and having sex? Do they believe our youth need to see these images on TV shows? If it were up to me I would cancel our cable TV subscription and invest that money in a certificate of deposit and earn at least 2% interest per quarter.
I understand we are going through an entertainment phase where TV shows are going to have numerous scenes and plots involving homosexual characters. I just choose not to watch them. People do what people want to do. There are several places in the Bible where it specifically says that God did not intend for people to have homosexual relationships. I know some people say they were born Gay, but many people are making a conscious decision to lead a gay lifestyle only because they can. We do not need television to put the idea into the mind of people, especially our youth. People are well equipped already to make bad decisions on our own.
Enough is enough. I told my wife I was tired of seeing these gay lifestyle TV shows. She can watch them by herself. I pray Hollywood reverses this entertainment trend and gets us back to showing images that depict how God wanted us to behave. Or is that too hard to do?
