'Homophobic' Christian TV on the outs in Brazil?
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 5/26/2009 6:00:00 AM


The Brazilian government is seeking to ban from daytime television what it refers to as "homophobic" Christian programming.

The government initially wants to put up a disclaimer that the shows are not recommended for people under the age of 18. A Brazilian government official told a newspaper there that while such programs would be restricted to after 11:00 p.m., "the ideal is that they not be shown at any time."

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality offers his reaction. "It seems that the Brazilian government is moving towards a pro-homosexual totalitarianism which directly impinges on the rights of Christians to be Christian," he shares. "I think that this is a very dangerous road, and we need to be watching it from the United States."

The move, he points out, also means children will not be getting the biblical view on the subject from television.

"This is the new socialism, which now appears to be directly repressing biblical speech on the issue of homosexuality -- and we need to watch it because there are socialist advocates in the United States," LaBarbera cautions. "The idea that Christian programming needs to be labeled as...'homophobic' is just bizarre, but it's very dangerous that this is being done so openly."

The family advocate believes the Brazilian government is so beholden to its homosexual allies that it is directly suppressing speech. He contends that homosexual activists know there is little support for homosexuality in the South American country, so they want to suppress opposition to it before it mounts.

1. "Rights to be Christian?"

How fucking stupid. Or am I mistaken when I assume Obnoxious isn't a classic Christian virtue? Well, in theory anyway.

6. When I use the term "socialism", I am referring to a set of

economic policies. I am unaware of any principles of socialism that require repression of free speech.

Perhaps one of the brighter folks could enlighten me.

I mean the AFA wouldn't be feeding red meat to its flock, would it?

7. There is a generic law against homophobia in discussion here.

But it says nothing about censoring TV or anything else. They're full of shit, as usual.
