This is Olivia Wilde who appears on Fox Television's hit series "House". For some strange reason, I enjoy watching this show about an angry man with a god complex. Go figure.
Anyway, I was relaxing with a nice pipping hot Latte', not too long ago, and up pops the little tidbit that Olivia Wilde's character, Dr. Remy Hadley, otherwise known as "thirteen", is a bisexual.
Do I need to know this about her character, or are they simply playing into "every man's" fantasies? Is it just me or does it seem that nearly every show seems to have a need to present at least one character from the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Trans-gendered community? Is this propaganda?
I have a number of friends who are members of this community but they don't go around saying, "Hi, I'm so and so, and I'm a lesbian." I may not agree with their lifestyle choice, but that doesn't prevent me from loving them as individual persons. It also doesn't mean that they are constantly sticking their lifestyle choices in my face.
It just feels "icky" to me when the television studios seem to desire to press this lifestyle in my face. Take a look at this recent press release from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). Take a peek here to see GLBT's influence on television, and here for cable shows, and here for the GLBT diversity report. Now that Clay Aiken has come out of the closet, am I going to have to put up with his nonsense for the next few months?
So what's my point? Stop shoving it down my throat! As the Family Research Council proclaims, there are far more Christian Evangelicals in America then GLBT's. I don't see any Christian Evangelicals respectfully portrayed on my television. Do you see them on yours? Do you think that someone has an agenda here?
What are your thoughts?
