Re: Culture Fan - 17/01/2003 11:26:17 AM

This nation has largely condemned explicit practices due to religious traditions and beliefs.

I am interested to know the ones of which you speak. MTV has gays kissing on prime-time, and it is one of the most watched shows. That NBC show, Will and Grace (I think), is one of the most popular shows, and it routinely shows gays in positions of sexual suggesting (and I've only seen it twice). What practices are you talking about? I just cannot see it, in our culture; in the Southern culture, yes, since you say that it is fundamentalist. Yet, in the States as a whole, I am having difficulty seeing his point, and now yours, as you offer no examples for me to judge.

Regards,


Fan
