[begin mild rant]
I work just a few miles from home, so at lunchtime on workdays I go home and care for our pets.
As entertainment for our parrots, Mrs E leaves the TV on. As she is a disciple of that POS program "Good Morning America"

and as she leaves the house last in the morning, the local ABC channel is left on.
That means, of course, when I get home at about 12:45 p.m., I am accosted by the soap operas that have been a part of daytime TV since the mid-Fifties.
Soap operas are just that - silly shows that never have a beginning and never have an ending. They focus on the dregs of human life and dramatize them, ostensibly because that drivel is interesting. Except that when I'm caring for the animals and thus am not paying a great deal of attention to the TV anyway, earlier this week I did note that there seemed to be a lot of drama involving gays. At one point I looked up from giving the parrots their daily almond and I see two male actors lip-locking each other.
WTF????????
This kind of crap, thinly disguised as "normalcy" along with the Fritos article, movies such as "Brokeback Mountain" and all manner of horseshit "diversity" programs, LGBT lunacy and the rest of the trash that we are constantly accosted with no doubt have an impact to our own sense of normalcy.
Being gay is considered in many circles to be entirely normal. Any resistance to that is described as being "homophobic".
If smoking poles and packing fudge is "normal" anymore, then I guess I'm abnormal. I don't want to see that shit, I don't want to be confronted with it, and I certainly don't want to be told that "diversity" is a "virtue" when fudgepackers browbeat and intimidate school systems into kowtowing to their twisted way of thinking.
While I don't condone physical violence done to gays, I do believe that society itself dictates that there is a price to pay for practicing an abhorrent and abnormal lifestyle.
Companies like Frito-Lay are seeing to it that these gays-with-an-agenda are held up like shining examples of wonderful citizenry when, from my POV, they are little more than thugs and punks who cry and whine because society doesn't always bend to their will.
It's disgusting.
BTW, I asked Mrs E to turn the channel to Animal Planet when she's done fawning over Diane Sawyer. She agreed, so now I can listen to "Big Cat Diary" when I walk in the door and not have to be confronted with gays in soap operas.
As far as I know, leopards aren't gay.
Thank God for small freaking favors.
Yeah, I know I can change the channel too, but that isn't the point. Being confronted with that shit when I walk in the door is something I can live without.
