Has anyone else noticed the increasing number of sitcoms involving gay marriage? These hilarious shows like Modern Family, or Partners, show marriage and relationships with a more modern approach. Sadly, many anti-gay groups such as One Million Moms, is staging a protest against NBC's newest addition, The New Normal. This show is about a gay couple looking for a surrogate mother to have their first child.While many believe this show sends positive message about love and family, an article in the Huffington Post says that the One Million Moms group stated "NBC is using public airwaves to continue to subject families to the decay of morals and values, and the sanctity of marriage in attempting to redefine marriage. These things are harmful to our society, and this program is damaging to our culture."
I personally believe what they have to say is wrong on so many levels. In my opinion, their narrow minded view of love is the real reason for the decay of moral values in today's society. If a television sitcom is funny, and interesting... there is no real reason to protest. The rise of television shows featuring gay characters is a sign that maybe gay marriage is the 'new normal' and groups such as the One Million Moms needs to realize that our culture is evolving for the better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoltPi6zC_Q
I agree with your viewpoint. One Million Moms is saying that the show is redefining marriage, and personally, I don't think they're trying to redefine anything. I think that the show is presenting the new normal. Who's to judge someone else's morals as being invaluable? This show is not harmful to our society, but groups such as One Million Moms are. It's a good thing to integrate these types of shows into society.
