re: Anyone watching the LSU game catch that commercial?

Ps. I enjoy your insight. Wish we had another way of communication. Iron sharpens iron

I mean, there are literally millions of gays in this country...and they are CLEARLY the primary population at risk for HIV. What "propaganda" did you feel was spread? I actually thought to myself the woke crowd might not like the fact that the ad was so exceptionally realistic about who is doing what.

Compare it to the monkeypox shite where they've been going out of their way to make it seem evenly spread across the population.

I'm old enough to remember the AIDS/HIV hysteria of the 80's/90's. The media breathlessly went out of their way to convince everyone it was not just a "gay disease"...even though it was primarily gay men who were dying from the illness. Tireless propaganda made sure to convince an entire generation of kids/teenager that simply kissing a person of the opposite sex put you at risk of catching AIDS...let alone having heterosexuals sex. Now 35 years later we see through the marketing of the HIV prevention medication that AIDS/HIV is (though not exclusively) what it always was...largely a "gay disease". History is repeating itself with Monkey pox (though the propaganda isn't nearly as prevalent due to the fact the pravda is still desperately trying to hold on to Covid). It's not that it's "bad" that AIDS/HIV is largely a problem among homosexuals. It's that the media and others will flat out gaslight the public.

As for the commercial, you're are woefully naïve or willfully disingenuous that all of this is a grooming campaign to "normalize" homosexuality. Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care is someone is homosexual or not. But there is an effort to make such seem "cool" amongst children.

I see it in action. My daughter is nine. Last year she came home and told us one of her female classmates told their group of friends she was "bisexual". A "bisexual" 8 year old. Children so young they don't really "like" the opposite sex, and certainly don't understand sex at all are now "bisexual". It would be one thing if this was a isolated event. But just this past week my daughter came home and told me a member of her cheer team...a COMPLETELY different group of kids than her school classmates...told some of them she is "bisexual". Given their ages it is unlikely either of these children are actually bisexual. But the media and social media have convinced them coming out as bisexual...at 8-9 years old...is a "cool" thing to do.

ACLU threw so much money to get gay marriage passed. Happened faster than they thought it would. What we’re seeing is leftover money being spent on these commercials.

I agree. I’m not against PREP. Less AIDS transmission in the world is good for all of us, gay or straight. But, if you look at the data, men having sex with other men is more responsible for the spread than any other behavior. Women having sex with women doesn’t seem to spread it near as much, and lesbians are just as gay. Many women catch HIV from men who caught it from other men, and babies born with it had no choice at all. I’m not trying to down the gays, but let’s be honest about the issue.

Having parents talk about it is good, but having the media undermine the message that the wages of this particular sin (or behavior if you take the morality out of it) might be an incurable illness is irresponsible. Parents can talk all day long but kids look up to the people they see in the media.

I’m not against spreading awareness of AIDS or PREP. I’m against marketing the need for it as “cool” or normal on prime time TV. This ad was made by the drug company to sell their treatment. Making the behavior that makes it necessary seem normal and hip helps them sell more. ESPN could have declined to air the ad and filled the spot with something else.

As far as being against violence and profanity, well, yeah. I think there’s too much of that on TV as well. I don’t look at it from a religious or sin perspective but from a health perspective. Increasing violence, profanity, and promiscuity is not healthy for our society. We are becoming a pretty trashy society as a whole, but that’s just my opinion. Our kids are less healthy, mentally and physically, than previous generations, and that’s a fact.

ou just don't view them as that because you don't hate straight people

I don't think anyone is saying they "hate gay people". I don't hate heroin addicts but I don't approve or celebrate their lifestyle choices either.

So again I ask, why was this push too far?

the glorification of criminals is not something this society needs

Why have 8 minutes of a blank screen in memory of a criminal on a preschool channel?

What 3 year old will benefit from that?

I saw it. It was really sad and quite disturbing.

It doesn't require someone to say it for it to be true. You don't need racists to admit they are racist for it to be true.

So I guess that also applies to leftist authoritarians who get a hard-on when the government actively persecutes their political enemies.
