Thats my problem. I think the whole point of some of this is to try and expose the kids to this stuff BEFORE they are old enough to understand it so we can "mold" them into the people we want them to be.
Well, that's the whole idea behind the concept of "education".
Is it wrong to teach children not to steal at an early age because it's just forcing them to behave the way we want them to be?

I wouldn't say that american media is filled with sex. American media is probably the most sexaphobic and repressed, in the entire industrialized world. That's not to say it isn't filled with titillation, there are scantily clad, gyrating women to spare, but there's rarely any frank discussion or depiction of sex.
Most other countries, including Canada and most of Europe, have softcore (even hardcore in some places) porn on late at night, sex talk shows where people discuss technique and safety, and even ("Won't somebody think of the children!?") naked female breasts on primetime television... and sometimes in commercials.
Yet somehow the US still manages to have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world.
Coincidence?
The USA is like a nation of Catholic school girls.

I do not know if anybody has mentioned it yet but this show contains live scenes. Buster visits different real places like maple sugar farms. What may have happened is the owners, employees or friends of the owners are gay.
I am sure this is not the creators intentionally drawing gay characters but just people in the real world.

Yeah, that makes the controversy even dumber.
That means they're actively trying to prevent kids from being exposed to same sex couples.

There's a big difference between showing hot lesbians getting it on in a music video and simply showing a lesbian couple going about their normal day.

PBS=Public Broadcasting System, Mtv=private media company.
PBS=Funded in part by our tax dollars, Mtv=funded by crappy commercialism.
Context is definitely an issue, but there is a proper time and place for everything.

So if the majority wanted to actively demonize homosexuals, should we do that too?
The majority isn't always right.

I am not saying the majority is RIGHT. I say they RULE, and they do, and will continue to do so until they become the minority.

Well, obviously they don't rule that much if homosexuals are on PBS.

WGBH, the Boston public television station that produces the show, has not changed course following Spellings' actions. The station plans to air the episode March 23 and make it available to other stations.

Well. . .To be fair, lesbian couples ARE a scientifically proven threat to the failings of the heterosexual family unit.
