Disney/ABC Pushes Television Boundaries

(AgapePress) - The Walt Disney Company continues to push the homosexual agenda through its ABC television network, as well as seeking new ways to promote immoral content in future endeavors.
On January 19, ABC aired In Style Celebrity Weddings, a special described on the network's website as "an intimate look at the year's most exciting celebrity weddings and the love stories that inspired them." Among the nuptial celebrations captured by the special: the "wedding" of lesbian pop rocker Melissa Etheridge and her actress lover, Tammy Lynn Michaels.
The ceremony had all the trappings of a traditional wedding -- minus, of course, a groom, although Etheridge did her best, dressed in a jacket and slacks. "With this ring I thee wed," Etheridge is heard to say on camera to Michaels, and when the clergyman is finished, he pronounces them "beloved wives."
Beyond homosexuality, however, Disney/ABC seems intent on adding new shows that promise to further pollute the airwaves. Shock-jock Howard Stern will be hosting a prime-time interview special this spring, according to the New York Post.
Stern is already infamous for his pornographic radio program and late-night television show on the E! Entertainment network -- also partially owned by Disney. The Post said Stern's interviews will delve into guests' sexual and bathroom habits.
Also coming to network TV courtesy of ABC: a new drama called Doing It, which will focus on the sexual escapades of three teenage boys.
More 'Gay' Days at Theme Park
As if the first major weekend of the traditional summer vacation season wasn't enough, now homosexuals also intend to fill up Walt Disney World on Father's Day weekend.
According to Cybercast News Service, the Family Pride Coalition has announced that it has designated Father's Day weekend as a celebration for "LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) parents and their families." Aimee Gelnaw, executive director for the Coalition, said, "Disney has been a wonderful support in the planning of a very special and exciting weekend for our families."
The event will take place two weeks after tens of thousands of homosexuals are expected to surge into the theme park for the annual "Gay Days at Disney" celebration.
