    i dont agree with homosexuality. i think its bad that kids are exposed to t.v. shows with gay people like " will and grace" or "queer eye for the straight guy".
    i just think its wrong.

    Any reasons for this ?

    I have to agree with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I think though that its not just kids, they should protect everyone from seeing that. [qmr]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭claire h


    Do you have a reason why?

    And, um, are you actually serious?

    *cough*
    Troll.

    Although, I do agree with the statement about protecting people from Queer Eye...

    Heh, why do you say that - promotes stereotyping too much? I find it did that so much that it became parody and was, subsequently, hilarious.

    So do you not mind when all your mates call you Carson now ?

    Mmmm. Eau du Troll.

    I find it terrible that children are exposted to TV shows with heterosexuals like that Friends program. Ban it! Burn the heterosexuals!

    Oi! Watch it! I'm far from a Carson.... Any comparision is purely based on the vast gulf that exists between us. I would thump the person who gave me that name, that I can say honestly.
    Still begs the question: can the show be viewed as parody?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 931 ✭✭✭moridin


    yes Carson.

    I don't agree with having to pay tax on my hard earned money or evolution rendering the human body with no offensive or defensive capabilities such as tiger's claws, but what can you do about it????

    If your whole qualm here is about what "kids are exposed to" go talk to the kids parents and not the homosexual community. If kids are given free reign of what to watch on tv I personally would be more worried about them watching five minutes of Sex and the City than a whole series of Will and Grace.

    If you don't agree with homosexuality that is perfectly fine. Everybody is entitled to their own opinions and feelings toward something. But don't use kids as your excuse! You obviously have your own issues with homosexuals and using kids as your only excuse is a cop out and shows your lack of ability to express your own opinions in a form that will get your point across and be excepted by everyone else.

    Again, I have no problem with you expressing your opinions even if you are of the view that homosexuality is wrong. But if you are going to come onto the gay and lesbian board and simply leave a message putting down the majority of people who use the board then at least have an adult converstation about it and state your reasons so it can be discussed in a mature fashion.

    Ooops, just re-read the thread and saw you were taking the piss! After me going and taking the time to type out that previous thread! God damn it! :-) lol

    Queer eye for the straight guy is just wrong, and I don't see what's so funny about Will & Grace. Try to keep the trolling down though. It can be so costly to keep trolls fed.

    I don't agree with homosexuality. All gays should be locked up*.

    hum talknig about TV what do people think about Queer as Folk? I never saw the second season.

    compairing it with sitComs, etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭vgar


    I loved the first season, but I never saw the second season. Apparently its only one 1 hour long episode (not really a full season). Is this right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 everythinglive


    Im not homosexual, but i dont have a problem with homosexuality. If you dont agree with it, get off this thread!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Queer Eye is a great show, i mean it represents the gay community so well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Now that's good trolling :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre


    I'll tell you what I don't get about Will & Grace. Debra Messing is rather fit (she's improved quite a bit since her guest spot on Seinfeld a few years ago). On prima facie evidence I'd quite happily make the beast with two backs with her. Meanwhile, even as a straight bloke I can see that the bloke who plays Will is good-looking (I'd normally be rather terrible at this). She appears to have her own business designing something or other, he's some kind of lawyer.

    So we've got two non-ugly people with good careers and no-obvious character faults apart from a tendency towards narcissism who never (or at least rarely) seem to get any sex with anyone. And this in a show that at least has sexuality, if not sexual congress and rumpy-pumpy, as one of its ongoing themes.

    Doesn't this seem, er, odd to anyone else? What are these sekrit flaws that we're not getting to see? Does Grace have a peepee and does Will have a hoohoo?

    Oh yeah, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is awful awful stuff. Ought to be banned along with any other blind date or makeover shows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭shotamoose


    American shows don't mind gays as long as they seem never to have sex. And I suppose it would look unfair if Grace was off shagging all the time. End result: nobody gets any action.

    Not that I watch it of course :cool: . Just speculating, like.

    I think 'Will and Grace' have had Karen and Grace kissing more often than they've had two boys kissing.... huh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    But karens the greatest.

    Hey, I wasn't *complaining* about the girl-kissing, just commenting. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,255 ✭✭✭TCamen


    I like Queer Eye, tis funny. Last week's episode had Kylie Minogue giving the style tips with the boys at the end -- she's gotta keep the gay fans happy right? ;)

    Quote from last week:

    SGDJ (Straight Guy Du Jour) was making cocktails and he had to put salt around the top of the glasses, so he was rolling them in a bowl of salt. The Fab Five are watching from the Fab Loft..

    Carson: "Ooh he's rimming"
    Thom: "Everyone loves a good rim job"

    I thought that was pretty damn funny :D

    Oh, and Kayan is mmmmmm sexy. More topless yoga sessions please :p

    Re: Will & Grace, I thought this season was a little better than the last one, but the only really good ones are the first two. F**K OFF Madonna & other lame-ass celebrity guest stars. Read that Sharon Osbourne is gonna be playing a lesbian waitress in an episode next season :mad:

    Actually the second season had two hour-long episodes. But they weren't as good as the first season anyway....
