(in response to an "Entertainment Weekly" story on gay teens in the media)

As you might suspect, Entertainment Weekly didn't plan to debate gay teen propaganda, but to encourage it, energetically. Not a single soul had anything critical to say. Not even a question. If this magazine weren't so earnestly in the tank, the story could come with a disclaimer: “This issue is an advertisement bought and paid for by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.”

Media Matters notes: "Bozell has a history of anti-gay rhetoric. He previously argued Hollywood demonstrated 'liberal bias' by failing to portray gays as 'morally wrong.' He's also warned that the gay lifestyle and agenda 'endorses the right of gays to marry and teach children, and that's in utter opposition to mainstream America.' Bozell's Media Research Council is also boycotting the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), because GOProud, a group for conservative gays and their allies, is participating."

Um, why would they need to "debate gay teen propaganda"? I thought gay teens had been seduced by the gay agenda. Oh, wait, I forgot. They're gay. That automatically makes them evil and part of the gay agenda. Yes, my friends, even children want to... take your children. Makes perfect sense.

Also, Mr. Bozell? If you're so dead set on having a debate, I recommend you watch the proceedings during the Prop 8 trial. There is no debate. And isn't it funny how you want a debate so much, while also failing to want gays and lesbians representing fairly? One would think you just want to portray gays and lesbians one way, a way that is morally wrong, instead of, you know, having a bit of criticism for your side.

But you're a hypocrite, so I'm just going to tell you to DIAF and STFU.

Bozell, you name seems to say it all!

OK, produce for me, please (see, I can be nice!) a properly authenitcated copy of this much referred to 'Gay Agenda"

If you cannot do this then you are just stirring hatred on the basis of your personal bigotry. Nice people don't do that sort of thing. Get the message?

I'm gay, btw, and I have never seen such an agenda/document. It is, I maintain, a fiction cobbled together by people such as you to further their own twisted and disgustingly warped minds.

Oh, and while you're about it, why not let us see a duly authenticated copy of the heterosexual agenda, or is that the lying, erring and disgusting book you call the bible that I hold unfit for children under the age of 15.

Right, because Entertainment Weekly really wants to alienate an entire demographic for absolutely no reason. Besides, their job isn't to be the sexuality police, their job is to provide entertainment related news. Besides, why should they be critical? Ever heard of "judge not lest ye be judged?".

the story could come with a disclaimer: “This issue is an advertisement bought and paid for by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.”

And what if it was? I'll never understand your sick fascination with not just picking on gays all the time but then getting all pissed off when they start to defend themselves.

He previously argued Hollywood demonstrated 'liberal bias' by failing to portray gays as 'morally wrong.'

And? Hollywood also isn't the sexuality police.

Bozell's Media Research Council is also boycotting the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), because GOProud, a group for conservative gays and their allies, is participating."

Good. In fact, stay out of politics altogether. You never know, you might accidentally talk to a gay politician at some point and then you might get a heart attack.

"As you might suspect", Brent is about to tell you what to think, and he prefaces this with, "as you might suspect" so you'll think you should have been thinking it already. That is, if you've been conditioned not to think. Think about it.

Okay, let's debate!

Have there been gay teens since the dawn of time?

Yes.

Is there currently an effort to bring the gay lifestyle out of the closet and into the mainstream?

Yes.

Is this effort being made in part because allowing and encouraging self-righteous bullies to demonize and injure these children creates psychological wreckage among the gay teens and sociopathic monsters among the straight population?

Yes.

Not much to debate there. Let's try another topic.

Is Brent Bozell one of the monsters?

IMO Probably. Anyone want to debate?

Is his ranting a result of a doomed attempt to legitimize his past reprehensible behavior against fellow human beings?

IMO Possibly. Can we get someone to cover both sides of that?

Hmm. Still not much of a debate. I guess it's just hopeless Brent. As are you.
