Gay Jokes

Gay jokes on TV (or anywhere for that matter) should be banned.

I caught myself laughing at one in a popular TV sitcom and was so disappointed in myself.  It was such a mindless thing and I asked myself, why?

Don't get me wrong, I DO have a sense of humour, but considering there are so many laws that discriminate against us, I believe these jokes cause more harm than the cheap, light entertainment it provides for a prime time audience.

First a joke.  Then teasing at school.  Then violence, and so on.  If us homosexuals have ever been accused of a "gay agenda", then here is the "straight agenda" slapping us on the face.  Gay jokes on TV only serves to misinform the main population and humiliate us.  It disrespects all the work toward re-education and equality.

We're still living in the stone age.  Did we support "black" jokes before laws were changed to protect them from discrimination?  Until we are granted the same equality; the "equality" everyone else takes for granted, let us keep all joking aside.  Only then should we look back with humour, and a big sigh of relief.
