Lesbians Kissing! Send Money Now!

I didn’t see the orgy scene on "Without a Trace" that garnered the 111 CBS TV stations a $3.6 million FCC fine, but it probably would have offended me, as that’s not the most responsible behavior to be promoting to teenagers, to say the least. And I agree with the American Family Association’s concerns about the dangers of promoting promiscuity in children and the need to protect children from pedophile predators.

The group’s latest hullabaloo over a lesbian kissing scene (which it characterizes as “very offensive!”) on the show, however, is just plain silly.

An email the group is currently circulating to Christians is asking them to boycott Ford Motor Company because it sponsored the program. Apparently Ford promised AFA last year that it would stop funding the “homosexual agenda” and has gone back on its word. I have a tough time feeling sorry for any corporation these days, but this is certainly an issue that can get you into hot water no matter what you do.

Call me a cynic, but here’s what I think this is really all about. The AFA email concludes, “If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift?”
