I have been watching a lot of HGTV, we recently bought a house and are doing a lot of renovations so I find the shows pretty entertaining. However, I've noticed they have a disproportionate amount of same-sex couples on a lot of their shows. Mainly "House Hunters" and "Bang for your Buck", which is where people upgrade a certain room in their house and then a designer and a realtor rate the value of their upgrade. I recently saw a "bang for your buck" episode where 2 out of the 3 couples were two guys. It's kind of weird to me. Call me a homophobe or whatever, but it does seem they are making an effort to promote or normalize a same-sex lifestyle. Anyone else notice this?

yea tv is promoting all the minority groups way out of proportion to their numbers (or contribution to America)

Social engineering. Keep putting it on TV until people think it's normal. Consider canceling cable if it bothers you. Voting with your wallet is an American tradition.

They are catering to their demographic. Women and gay men are their target audience. Of course you seem to be watching, maybe an fluke, maybe your post is secretly telling us something?

a guy sucking dick or taking it in the ass is not normal lifestyle by any means.Look at all the catholics getting catched and brought to justice for the same thing...time to get the blow people wagons loaded up and send them all to dessert islands or retraining

Check the closing credits... quite a few of those HGTV shows are produced in Canada. I can tell instantly from the Canadian accents. It wouldn't be unusual for a home type show produced in Toronto or Vancouver to feature a gay couple.
Not one of the usual GD digs at Canada... I was born and raised there so I know what it's like. Significant openly gay population in some cities. |

My wife loves that stuff. Every time I turn on the tv it's on that station. Then she wants to talk about repainting a room three different colors. I tell her she's got $300 to go to Home Depot and buy the paint. I tell her where the rollers, tape, brushes, and plastic are. For some reason the project never gets started.
I think the only show I can sit down and watch is Holmes on Homes. |

I dont know how they can fill 24 hours of programming 7 days a week, with every show being the same premise (gay guy helps you find a house).

Quoted: Social engineering. Keep putting it on TV until people think it's normal. Yeah... that must be it. Quoted: They are catering to their demographic. Hey now, knock off all that common sense. Don't ya know it's a plot? |

And the male designers on those shows are also quite ghey. It started years ago with Christopher, Lowell, (Google), (uber ghey), and his show on Discovery. Women loved this guy and his show had hugh ratings, and he made big bucks.
Women, love the ghey desiger guys. Creepy. My wife is glued to these shows. |

I used to like that show, forgot the title of it, about flipping homes. The one with the dude from South Carolina and his assistant Ginger. I always thought Ginger was sexy with her accent and all. Then they went and cancelled the show, so I haven't watched HGTV since then.

Quoted: Social engineering. Keep putting it on TV until people think it's normal. Consider canceling cable if it bothers you. Voting with your wallet is an American tradition. Yep. I canceled HBO because of Bill Maher and told them so. I eventually canceled DirecTV as well. Been about 2 years now, don't miss it a bit. |

Because it's a gay-ass, feminized, hippy loving channel to begin with....??
|
|
So, women like to see gay couples? They think they are cute or something? Do they know about the ass-fucking?

The lineup of shows since then have been pretty bad. I don't watch anymore either. |

So, what... the execs at HGTV are sitting around a table in a boardroom (located inside a hollowed out volcano, of course), planning how to use their channel to give Americans teh ghey? And let me guess... fluoride in the water is involved in this somewhere, too? |

Just turn the TV off. Done and done. No cable or sat in my house for a while now. It was like watching the documentary of the downfall of the USA in real time. I chose not to participate. |

That sounds pretty good... I have some unused vacation. Oh, I see; it was a misspelling. I guess the word "catched" should have been my first clue. Retraining sounds like a good idea though... I'm sure that would work. |

Who is more likely to use an interior decorator and then agree to put up with all the BS production to show it off?
Single guy? Married couple with small kids? Or gay couple with lots of disposable income? |

Liberals use the media to shape public opinion and one of the ways they do that is by presenting the abnormal as normal until the public accepts it.

Liberals use television commercials to sell products, they use television shows to sell ideas. |

Yeah my wife watches HGTV and DIY... about once a day I hear her say "grrrr another lesbian couple."
Show producers trying to normalize teh ghey. |

Show it enough and people will stop voicing against it. I would say the owners of the broadcast company are bleeding liberals pushing an agenda.
