Last nights show had a male contestant, that stated during the contestant interview portion that he has a drag queen persona, and even challenged Ken Jennings to try it. I hope many more people write in and mention the "Bud" boycott.

Having a contestant on a show doesn't compare to sponsoring someone and having them be a spokesperson.
Should Jeopardy not allow LGBTQ people? And why? Because you don't like them?
Who SHOULD Jeopardy allow to be a contestant on their show?

It is an active attempt to normalize the abnormal.

It’s not just “Jeopardy”, but it seems to be a requirement across all TV shows. It’s further evidencing that deviant sexual appetites are being portrayed as “normal”.
It’s now more important to know with whom a person is sleeping than it is to know what a person does for a living. Thus sexual orientation is the first identifier in all situations.
Moral compasses in today’s generations don’t exist. That’s why every fad that comes along from Hollywood-types and “influencers” gains so much attention. What’s that line from that Aaron Tippin song; “You’ve go to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”

I honestly don't care what people do in the privacy of their homes. What is irritating to me is when their choice is to broadcast and parade it inappropriately in public. Straight, or otherwise.

That doesn't mean we can't have an issue with it. I used to subscribe to that sort of mentality... the live and let live, libertarian type view of the world... but I realized/was convinced that Truth matters, pretty much above all else.
Tolerating the normalization of the abnormal is the pathway that, in part, lead to where we are now. I'd prefer to reverse that trend.
Just the way I see things these days.

Regardless of whether we watch it or not, these things affect our culture. They are worth noting so individually we can react as we see fit within the law. I'm glad it was posted since I don't watch TV anymore and I'd never have known otherwise. For me it serves to strengthen my resolve to insulate and isolate from a sickening culture.

I do believe you have missed the point entirely.

Sadly, para was right (again.) Jeopardy died with Alex Trek. Talk radio almost died with Rush Limbaugh.

I wish someone would go on there and announce he was heterosexual and constantly weave his wife into every conversation. Then end with “see how annoying that is”.

True. That reminds me, I haven't watch Wheel of Fortune in a while but during intros, it was normal for people to say, "And Ive been married to my beautiful wife Julie for 9 years." I wonder if they dropped that as it offends "non-traditional" families.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

They still do it but have a fair amount of gay couples as well. Haven't seen any trannies on there yet or at least none that have announced it or outwardly look the part. I think Sajak draws the line on that.

I don't think Bud Lite messed up as bad by marketing transqueers as much as their executive stating that their customers are too 'fratty' and she wanted to change Bud's customer base.
Mission accomplished on both counts.

That’s exactly it. If you don’t see it, you’re either oblivious or being obtuse on purpose.
It used to be that once in a long while you’d see a guy on one of the game shows and you’d think “That one is a little light in his loafers, whatevs” but now it’s every show, every day. Either multiple gay-married contestants or an obviously lesbian blue-hair. The softball categories they gave to the transgender fella (Amy?) was getting way too obvious.
There used to be the sentiment here that we just shouldn’t be a jerk to these people and let them be whatever they want to be. I think we still believe in not being jerks but coddling them like we used to has led us here. It’sa daily barrage. Half of the kids in high school identify as whatever is opposite of their biology because of our coddling. The boycotts have got to continue or is going to get much worse.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mark123,
