r2Dtoo Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Last time I checked, homosexuality has already been normalized in the United States as a behavior so enough with that nonsense. As marriage? No. Being able to raise children? Well, actually many states have been letting homosexuals adopt children for quite some time now with no controversy. Think about it. If the state gets custody of little Johnny and little Johnny has a uncle perfectly capable of raising him, why would anyone care that the Uncle was gay? I'm a flesh-celebrating heathen anyway so I really could care less, but I don't see anything suggesting an agenda from JC Penny here. Just good old fashion American capitalism to me.

Socrates Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='Ice_nine' timestamp='1339086713' post='2442190'] always promote? yes always portray? no. Sometimes realism is rad. [/quote] His issue was portraying homosexuality specifically as "normal and natural." To use another issue, say I were to write a novel that dealt with adultery as a theme. If the adultery was portrayed as ultimately tragic, wrong, and having negative consequences, that could be good. But if the adulterous affair was portrayed as being good and wonderful, that would not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='homeschoolmom' timestamp='1339109622' post='2442305'] Being able-bodied is the ideal. Should ads never portray the less-than-ideal (ie wheelchairs, crutches, etc.)? [/quote] I think it was about moral ideals. It is not immoral to be physically disabled.

One or both in a wheelchair or crutches would not lessen that ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
