You Can't Be Pro-Equality Until Everyone's Equal
Anyone who watches CSI, The Amazing Race, or any of Jerry Bruckheimer's 5000 other tentacles on CBS will occasionally see a spot where an actor on one of the shows will deliver a brief PSA, all under the message of "CBS Cares." The truth is, they really don't, seeing as they just shitcanned the UCC "Jesus didn't turn anyone away" ad for a second time. And their reasoning?
After reaching an impasse, Buford asked the executives what would have to change for the ad to be acceptable. "The executives said that it would have to become commonplace across the United States for churches to welcome gays and lesbians," Buford said. (emphasis mine)
Wow. Wow. That's like the networks saying to Lyndon Johnson, "We can't air your 'Daisy' ad until widespread nuclear nonproliferation is achieved." That's like talking to the people who designed the Willie Horton ad that brought Dukakis down and saying, "We're sorry, but we can't air this until the death penalty is reinstated." Do these fuckers lack the basic understanding of what makes a commercial?
No. No, I doubt they do. It's just they don't want to challenge the status quo. They just want to let the money roll in, and fuck the gay people who want religion. Sons of whores.
