    That's terrible! I feel sorry for both people who can't have enjoyment in sex like a married couple should. (And sorry to people who literally can't. But that should make it extra sad that these people aren't) Remember in the Bible that Adam and Eve loved being with each other and having kids. Now that's the ideal of marriage, not doing this horrible husband-faking thing (if BOTH people were gay* and this was in an earlier time I would prob accept this, but that poor lady has to have a husband "with a problem" and today there's a lot of accepting people)

    * yes I know one lady balked when referring to him as gay, but IMO it's worse to demean someone with calling them "same sex attracted". Should their parents be called OSA then?

    Ugh. I hope they cancel this show. Why are they giving these ex-gay idiots air time? Why is TLC helping revive this bullshit, just when it is finally starting to be on its way out here in the United States?

    It is both sides of the story I suppose. But it's also in our power to disagree with that side.

    I think the publicity will help us. The only way we can have a backtracking in rights and perceptions is to stifle discussion. This is going to be great lol.

    Its promoting the thought that homosexuality is wrong and can be changed. Not all publicity is good publicity.

    An entire show about women in denial that their husbands are gay. I would very literally rather have dental surgery than sit through that.

    Is it? From the ad, it seemed they were poking fun at people who think that sexuality is something that can or should be changed.

    There is literally no good that can come from this. The bigots, as they have always done, will hold these men up as "proof" that gay people "choose" to be gay. Meanwhile, these men will fill millions of American televisions with false anti-gay propaganda that we will be forced to divert resources to fight.

    I am also not sure why poking fun at them makes it any better. These men have been brainwashed by a religious cult to view themselves as intrinsically disordered individuals with a deviant sexuality. They are then taught that they must hate themselves and seek to be something that they are not--wasting their lives in the pursuit of living a lie. They are the victims of abuse, and they are being pushed out in front of cameras so that a largely straight audience can do exactly what you outlined: laugh at them.

    These men need professional psychological help. They do not need an audience.

    EDIT: Oh, and before anyone gets all defensive about my saying they have been brainwashed by a religious cult into viewing themselves as intrinsically disordered individuals with a deviant sexuality--it is right there in the promo video. The pastor is literally sitting there and telling them, and I quote: "The whole act is against the teachings of the gospel." He is sitting there preaching hate, and teaching these men to hate themselves. This is psychological and emotional abuse, because these men believe what he is saying is true.

    Hmph. I remember the days when TLC and Discovery Channel devoted their air time to shows about science and technology and culture. Then they apparently determined they could make more money off the sensationalist crap that is most 'reality' television and promptly flushed their programming quality down the tubes. Bleh.

    ...and there was a day you could actually learn a lot about history form The History Channel... and Music Television used to play music!? It is truly the end times! :eusa_doh:

    Beautiful dogs by the way!!

    Ah the good old days. Like, before Ancient Aliens and crap like that. The fact that the History channel puts its name behind it and my friends use the nonexistent authority of the name as evidence supporting stuff like that.

    I usually hear that from people who are in deep denial.
