the american family association, go fuck yourself.

and now another rousing edition of “go fuck yourself.” essentially, the american family association put together this “news program” attacking the gay community and bought time on woodtv8 to air it. woodtv8 delayed it feeling it would be inappropriate to air right before president obama was to address the nation. via the grand rapids press:

GRAND RAPIDS – A controversial one-hour paid program on the “radical homosexual agenda” scheduled for WOOD-TV is delayed for the second time as partisans on both sides debate its merit.

Opponents decry it as verging on hate speech, as they press WOOD-TV officials to cancel a special funded by the American Family Association.

In a letter promoting the program, the American Family Association asserts that most Americans get their “information about the homosexual movement from the secular news media and Hollywood, which not only support but promote the gay agenda. What people know is tainted by pro-homosexual propaganda.”

Colette Beighley, assistant director of Grand Valley State University’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center, called it “irresponsible programming. I am just so disappointed that WOOD-TV would participate in something like this.

The special, says the American Family Association, will “reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation and religious freedom.”

It promises to “alert viewers about what’s at stake for the family” if activists get their way.

the gays are gonna get us! the gays are gonna get us! hide your sons and cover your asses, the gays are gonna get us! american family association, go fuck yourself. god i love it when christians try to pretend like they’re a minority, like they’re the most oppressed group in america. here’s the letter i sent to woodtv8′s programming director:

Dear Mr. Cole:
I applaud your decision to pull “Speechless: Silencing Christians” from your stations.  However, it has come to light that you are reconsidering the program to air at a later date.  I implore you, sir, to reject the biased, irresponsible, hate-filled, and destructive agenda of the American Family Association and permanently pull “Speechless” from your programming schedule.  I know times are tough financially right now, especially for the media, but to take money to air this “program” is despicable.  If I wanted to buy time to expound on the dangers of the radical African American agenda, or the Asian American agenda, or the Hispanic agenda, or the Muslim American agenda, would you air my program?  I highly doubt it, sir.  I can also assure you that if you do choose to air this blatant propaganda, I will no longer watch your station.  You see, with places like hulu.com and nbc.com, I think I can get by without watching a hateful, bigoted local affiliate.  And there’s plenty that feel the same as I do.

Sincerely,
Sean Dailey
Grand Rapids, MI

so, to reiterate: the american family association, go fuck yourself.  and woodtv8, pull your head out of your ass.
