Mind if I ask why this was a push too far? Companies have been advertising things that many in the scientific community have recognized as harmful to the human condition and continued life on this planet for just about as long as the platform has existed. What made these commercials special?

You forgot “fear”. When you have different moral values than someone else you hate AND fear them according to the Reddit set, not just hate.

Yep. I believe adults can do whatever they want with other adults but it is difficult to watch. It is truly grotesque, Just my opinion since we all get to have an opinion right!

Yes all men need Jesus. I really failed to see your point saying do gays need a saviour. If your intent is to say that homosexuality is a greater sin, then you need to real the book of revelation where gossip is listed right beside homosexuality as ones who will be in the lake of fire. Do you gossip?

Btw, I don't care for the women poop commercials either. But it is what it is. Free country.

We don’t need to see dudes with sequin collars dancing in the club and dudes start kissing, and of course it has to be a white dude and a black dude, before the commercial cuts in the middle of a football game.

The gayness in this particular commercial was ridiculously overt, like every homosexual is at Studio 54 nightly.

we actually got rid of cable when Nick jr had 8 minutes of silence for George Floyd (or however long it took for him to die)

My friend told me about it, we weren’t even watching tv at the time - but that was too much for me.

The other commercials like tampons, cialis, and the gay stuff just add on.

This is how I see it in general, but what I tell them is hey, you don’t try to sneak me in the butt - and I won’t try to sneak your sister in the butt and everything will go smoothly. One for one deal, even steven.

But to be clear, a second and subsequent sister would be fair game.

Strange how far we have come. When Rosanne kissed a woman on her sitcom it was national news for a month and now we get two dude randomly making out in commercials like it’s no big deal.

Why show this commercial during a football game? I doubt it is going to be viewed by the target audience for HIV prep drugs.

If sexual perversion can be normalized (which our society and the commercial does), why can't gossiping also be normalized? That was my point. If we can eviscerate Scripture's condemnation of sexual perversion, why stop there? Is anything a sin in the eyes of God anymore.

FTR, I think you meant liars, not gossipers, but your point is well taken.

God forgives our sins by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. I come to Jesus just as I am but He does not allow me to stay just as I am. I must forsake my allegiance to lying, gossip, sexual immorality, etc to embrace Jesus as Lord & Savior.

Its sinners like me that need Jesus. But those who normalize their sin, why do they need Jesus - they have no sin.

You normalize your sin every day by continuing in sin. Or do you spend hours weeping over how you've fallen short of the glory of GOD? Or do you not understand the nature and depth of sin? To say a gay man has normalized sin and is not aware of his sin would be the same condemnation to millions of Christians who daily gossip, lie, commit adult, etc. I, as Peter, understand I am a chief sinner and give glory to GOD for HIS FINISHED WORK on the cross.

As a slave of Jesus Christ, some of what you write I agree with. I wept tears of joy when Jesus saved me 50+ years ago. His grace still amazes me. And I strive to maintain a clear conscience, live holy, and walk blamelessly after my Lord today. When I sin, I try to confess it and He forgives me (1 Jn. 1:9).

But there is an eternal world of difference between the believer following Jesus and stumbling along the way and someone who willfully rejects Jesus and walks in the opposite direction.

Is anyone saying homosexuals can't repent and come to Jesus if the Holy Spirit draws them? Rather, it is the commercial that presents homosexuality as normalized, i.e., not even a sin that needs to be repented of. Do you believe that?

I'm not proposing that my sins should be normalized and made into prime-time TV commercials. On the contrary, that they should be repented of, confessed, put under the blood of Jesus, and removed as far as the east is from the west. In what world do my weaknesses give license to destroy all moral standards?

That may have been the most disgusting commercial I have ever seen. I had people over to watch the game and nobody could believe that they put that shite on TV. ESPN should be ashamed, but I am sure they aren't.

That's why you record the game, start it about 30-45 minutes later, and fast forward through the commercials. The trick is you can't look at your phone though, or you'll see the score updates or people texting you about it.
