just take a look at this bit of news na lang eh. forwarded by someone from the task force pride mailing list. excerpts below.

'The Buzz' scolded for airing lesbian 'wedding'
| May 22, 2004 | Inquirer News Service

THE MOVIE and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has
warned the Sunday show biz talk show, "The Buzz," for airing the
"wedding" of a lesbian couple.

The MTRCB chair said "lesbian relationships are an abnormality of human
nature."

Kris Aquino defended their show's airing of the episode.

"I've always believed that whoever you're having a relationship with is
your personal choice," Kris said, pointing out that there are lesbian
relationships that are \"monogamous, supportive and loving."

A memorandum dated May 21, 2004 and signed by MTRCB Chair Marissa
Laguardia pointed out that "The Buzz," being aired on prime time, is
watched by youngsters "who are at their most impressionable stage."

"Their young minds are easily affected, so that to show lesbian lovers on
TV programs and give them media exposure would give young viewers the
impression that it is perfectly normal to get into lesbian or homosexual
relationships," the MTRCB statement said.

"We are certain that you are aware that lesbian and homosexual
relationships are an abnormality of human nature," said the statement.
"To show such kind of abnormality/aberration on prime time TV programs
gives the impression that the network is encouraging lesbian and
homosexual relationships and tantamount to saying lesbianism and
homosexuality are alright."


can i, like, bitch-slap that chair?

so is it okay to watch a former president's daughter cry like a kulangsapansin gel because thistalksshowhostformerlyknockedupbyamarriedactor got some std from a philandering married mayor of some city who fathered a brood of panganay children? er, are those the pg-13 rated values we want our children to learn, instead of two people celebrating their love? (the footage was of the marriage between lesbians elaine and her jowa). so what if the celebration of love was between two women? better to educate the children about ACCEPTANCE, UNDERSTANDING and TOLERANCE, di ba? unless we are training them to be no-brainer politician-actors in the future. tama, the story of joey and kris and alma nga ang panoorin nyo. fotah.

hopeless? or realistic? take your pick. lalaro muna ko betty's beer bar.

aloha mora!
