Double Post - Bert, Ernie & the Homosexual Agenda

8/10/2011

You get a double post today courtesy of my irritation regarding this petition which a friend just made me aware of. 

Change.org is attempting to drum up pressure to have Sesame Street writers craft a storyline which finds Bert and Ernie married, or to introduce a transgendered character.

LEAVE. SEXUALITY. OUT. OF. CHILDREN'S. PROGRAMMING. 

This is NOT a conversation for Sesame Street to initiate.  This is between parents and children when they are age-appropriate.  Three and five year olds do NOT need this type of foolishness detracting from their ABCs.  You've GOT to be kidding me... *grumble, grumble, grumble*

It is not the place of Sesame Street to introduce children to homosexuality, transgenderism, or any other sordid aspect of sexuality.  Stop attempting to manipulate children at their most innocent levels!  How absolutely shameful.

The petition's Facebook page holds this movement up as a way to "end the bullying and suicides of LGBT youth."  Pardon me while I shake my head at such obvious stupidity.  We've already got TONS of homosexual characters portrayed in the media.  Guess what?  We've still got plenty of suicides, self-hatred and bigotry.  Why?  Because we keep hoping that pouring salve on the symptoms will alleviate the actual problem.  It won't. 

And starting to introduce these concepts to children (CHILDREN!)  in an effort to validate yourselves in the minds of the general population won't make you any keener on accepting yourselves for who you are.

This boils my blood.  It reminds me of one of the Vagina Monologues (argh... I hate to even bring those horrid excuses for literature up).  It is one of the first, if not THE first, monologue in the series.  It is titled Because He Liked to Look at It.  The female speaker hates her vagina and is embarrassed by the existence of it.  Her entire life she hated herself for this anatomical reality.  One day, she found a lover who did all but worship her vagina.  Only in his acceptance could she then love her vagina. 

What a HORRIBLE message to women.  You can only love your vagina because it gives pleasure to a man. 

The same sort of message is being expected by the homosexual community that is rallying behind this petition.  "Only through YOUR acceptance can we ever grow to love who we are!"

*Face palm*

You can attempt turning every character in the media into an Ellen, Blaine or Dorian Gray.  The fact remains that suicides among the homosexual community will remain high until they accept themselves as who they are.  They will NEVER find acceptance and love from the outside world until they first find it among themselves, FOR themselves.  The same holds true for ALL people, regardless of race, religion, gender or political background.  You MUST learn to love and accept yourself before you can expect anyone else to. 

I hold Ellen up as the perfect example of this.  She has not only accepted herself, she has become a force to be reckoned with, and I bless her for it.  She is not afraid to put herself out there and love herself for who she is.  As a result, people gravitate towards her.  She is charismatic, loving, witty, and intelligent.  She has become what ALL homosexuals can become if only they'd fight their own demons and accept themselves for who they are. 

But sure as hell don't attempt dragging children into your inner-struggles.  Children aren't meant to be dealing with these types of issues so early, and it is NOT the place of public programming to initiate conversations meant for parents. 

Sorry - I'm typically more coherent when I write out these things, but this particular topic has officially boiled my blood.  Absolutely ridiculous.
