Have you noticed how the radical Left has turned our homes into places of Political brainwashing? Parents can no longer enjoy a family movie on Hallmark channel without having their children targeted by Political LGBT activists.
This shows once more how our media is Liberal biased. They are using our own TV's to condition our child's mind. They are coming into your home! They want your children growing up to become good little Political correct Democrats. Are you OK with that?
Just because you are Liberal, and might agree with these commercials, do you possess the intellect to understand that many parents do not agree with you? How would you like it if the media someday was controlled by political groups you do not agree with? Would you be so open minded to have far Right commercials coming on during a family show for your kids to see?
Do you possess the common sense wisdom to understand that LGBT propaganda has no place in our Public schools or our living rooms. People on the Left love to say we should just change the channel if we don't like what we see.
HELLO, this is not about channels for mature veiwers. This is about family programming, such as the Hallmark channel, where parents should be able to watch programming with their kids, and not having them conditioned by political activist groups. LGBT activist groups are threatening the Hallmark channel with boycotts if they refuse to allow LGBT commericals! The Left is truly becoming Big Brother at it's worse. They lack any respect for those who do not agree with them. This is why Trump was elected. This power grab must stop.

Regardless, there is plenty of commercials on TV that I dislike. I dislike the female cosmetics commercials, because they have no relevance to me. So what? You do not own all the media in the world and do not get to tell them what commercials to run. If you dislike commercials running on one TV channel, switch to a different TV channel. And if you dislike commercials running on all channels, then do what I did: throw your TV box out and use Internet services instead that do not have any commercials on them.
Also, what is wrong with showing LGBT content to children? Are children living in a different world than adults? How about children adopted by LGBT couples, does it apply to them also?
Seems like you have some problem with LGBT stuff. Well, sorry, sweetie, but you are just one person out of ~330 millions in this country. If you dislike something, start your own TV channel and run any commercials there you want - and show them to your children.

The last time I watched TV was when I was at my grandparents home for Thanksgiving dinner, and all I have to say is that basically all of the commercials bothered me to the point that I can't believe anyone takes any of them seriously. They are all just complete and exist between shows that are in and of themselves mostly nonsense.
That being said, I don't understand why people think that LGBTQ is somehow a conspiracy to turn their kids into monsters or something, they are still people and should be excepted like anyone else.
I also can't understand how anyone could be so blinded that they would defend Trump as stopping power grabbing LGBTQ when he was clearly pro-LGBTQ during his campaign, and only flip-flopped after he was in office. That dirty authoritarian clearly doesn't care either way about LGBTQ, and he certainly doesn't care about personal freedom. If anyone cared about actual US values instead of this alt-right non-sense they would not support Trump. He is a threat to the US democracy.

Have not watched TV personally since 2008. There is so much freedom on the Internet: watch whatever you want whenever you want for free, pause when you want to, no commercials, no schedules, nothing.
Television and radio are 20th century. Using them nowadays instead of more modern types of media is like riding a horse cart instead of driving a car. Then, again, some people do that. I have never understood those Amish people...

Show me where I have screamed about nativity scenes on public land. I have never said that once!
Because you addressed me directly, this is a form of defamation that I don't take to so kindly.
You can't just group everyone together and expect everyone to behave and think exactly the same, that is some tribal non-sense.
Besides this, there is a HUGE difference between public land and privately owned and broadcasted TV programs. If it is acceptable to put a nativity on public lands, then it is acceptable to put satanic symbols or open mockeries of Jesus on public land. These types of things are unconstitutional if they give on religion an advantage over any other, so it is all or nothing, take your pick. Personally, I think it's easier to go with nothing because it is more fair and we can't be taking up space with the infinite potential god, gods, or other mythical beings.

I have seen multiple religious commercials and could not care less about them. I am not as fragile as to break down over seeing something I do not like on TV. As far as I am concerned, let all commercials be religious; I have always skipped commercials regardless of their content, and would advise to my children to do the same.
If you want to keep your kids from being exposed to certain beliefs, then do not show them the content promoting those beliefs. What exactly is the problem? Do you want to tell all TV companies what to show just to tend to your kids' caprices? What are you teaching your kids anyway if they cannot handle a simple commercial without getting scarred? Teach them critical thinking, not hiding from everything that has a potential to influence them negatively.
Ratings are advisory, not compulsory. If something says that a content is suitable for people of a certain age, it does not necessarily mean that it will be suitable to absolutely all people of that age. It is just an independent assessment.
That said, I do not see anything about the LGBT topic that kids should not see. Then again, I have never thought that there is anything at all that kids should not see... The first time I saw a sexual act was at the age of 4, and that was not on TV, but in front of my eyes - and somehow I survived that. Age ratings are pointless.
I have huge respect for others' beliefs, which is why I am okay with anything being shown on TV, so people can choose the channels that correspond to their beliefs the most. You are the one disrespecting beliefs of those who do not have the same stance on the LGBT topic as you. Just as you have the right to not show the LGBT content to your kids, other parents have the right to show the LGBT content to their. You are not the only person on the planet, and your preferences are nothing special.
If you do not want to show your kids a channel with LGBT content on it, then take your remote controller and press the "next channel" button. How hard is that?

I mostly disagree with scientism, but even though it is a dangerous delusion on par with religion, I don't really want to talk about that here because it's irrelevant to this debate.
I also don't think that nativities need to be outlawed altogether, because state atheism is just as bad as state religion. I mean, does a nativity really hurt anyone? No, it's just a cute set up of figurines that is totally without consequence. The exception to this would be on public land, but the way I see it there are two options:
Either allow all religions the right to put their beliefs on display or none. Since there are a potentially infinite number of potential religious beliefs and public land is limited, they ought to be disallowed on public land.

I don't actually believe nativity scenes should be outlawed on private land, I just like to say things to anger people. It's sorta my thing you know. Scientism is viewed as anti-religion, however I view the ideals of objective scientific truths to be the fundamental elements of a new religion, not an anti-religion. Viewing scientific thought as a religion can be used as an attempt to legitimize scientific thought, while dually having empathy for other religious beliefs.

Removing religious symbols from public land is not about offending anyone, would give you that idea?
It's about fairness, because If someone is allowed to do that, then anyone else is allowed to put up their own religious symbols, and if they happen to be in a sex cult then there would be nothing anyone could do to stop it, it's just easier to say no to everyone than yes to everyone.

If you get offended by a TV commercial... You really need to grow up then.
Everyone is allowed to get offended, but being offended does not give anyone a license to decide what people should be able to do. If you get offended by what you see on TV and cannot, for some reason, turn TV off, then you can go cry in a corner - that will make you feel better.

Why are you so offended by LGBTQ?
I don't see people on "the left" get offended nearly as much as "the right" and frankly, I distance myself from both groups and handle things issue by issue, often creating my own unique views and opinions because I am an individual, and I refuse to bow to any party or organization.
Alt-right, alt facts. Homosexuality is perfectly natural, we see it in animals, we see it in humans, and there is nothing wrong with it unless you have been indoctrinated to believe so because of some absurd ancient traditions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_displaying_homosexual_behavior
I mean, can you really think of anything that is actually wrong with homosexuality?
Only one thing comes to mind, and that is that homosexuals don't have kids naturally, thus they don't spread religion as easily, which is the real reason why so many religions condemn it.
That being said, if you put your religion before your country, and your country before your family, then you are probably not a good parent.

Who wants to put LGBT propaganda on "your" channels? If you own a TV channel, then no content can be put there without your approval, so what is the problem? Just say "no" to such proposals and move on.
My position here is simple: each TV company can put any content they want on their channels, and each customer is free to watch or not to watch any of those channels. I do not remember advocating for censoring Christian commercials; I have no problem with them. Heck, there are entire TV channels dedicated to Christianity, and that is perfectly fine. What is there to fear? A remote control is just a meter away. Do not like the channel - switch it to another one.
You are making an issue out of nothing. I have never understood you religious freaks, so scared of everything and hiding in your churches from the real world. I also have never understood those people on the left you are criticising who get offended by everything. Your mistake here is that you think that you are somehow different from them, while in reality both of you are fragile folks unable to handle the fact that the world does not revolve around your sensitive hearts.

https://www.debateisland.com/discussion/comment/60173/#Comment_60173Homosexuality doesn't go against nature at all, it is a part of nature. Anyone who says otherwise hates the universe. (which is why so many make up a happy place so they can feel better) The truth is that most religions are a rebellion against reality. I wish all the misinformed Christian nationalists would stop lying to everyone based on their most absurd holy book.
Oh, and by the way, Christianity was used to justify the killing of Jews and homosexuals during the holocaust, and at any rate religion FAILED to stop it!

My information is that the nativity is an imaginary "fairy tale" invented by St Francis of Assisi as a way to explain the birth of Jesus to his "flock" several hundred years after the "fact". I agree with you on the "science thing", but, some people can't face reality without a mythical figure to give them strength. I wouldn't take that away from them. I just think, eventually, everyone will begin to face facts. No harm done IF they keep it on their own property, in their own cult. I can walk by one in a churchyard and think: Isn't that pretty, isn't that peaceful, without getting upset. On a public spot, not so much. I'm willing to give "progress and science" time, but, propaganda, religious or otherwise, not so much.
In answer to the prime question: I've seen few commercials I wouldn't watch with a young family, but, I've watched several Trump rally's …. with the obvious lies and swearing and gestures and un-patriotic actions that I WOULD turn off if my young children were watching. Gay life is a fact of life. I can LIVE with, Trump, not so much! :-(

Christians are not forcing channels to air Pro Christian commericals, and witnessing to children on non religious channels.
I support keeping all groups from pushing their agendas onto our children on family programming, where chidren could be watching. Keep politics off family programming where children can be influenced against the parent's will.@Antoliny

Why on earth should people who love the Hallmark channel give up on watching their movies just because some insecure LGBT activists want to force everyone to sanction their unnatural sexual orientations as being normal.
I've got a better idea. How about everybody start respecting each other's beliefs and STOP PUSHING CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES ONTO OUR CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND OUR LIVING ROOMS!
Nah, the arrogant Progressives on the Left want to force their dysfunctional beliefs on everyone else.
I have no problems with Gays who do not try to push their orientation, as being normal, on others. I have Gay friends who respect my beliefs and do not try to indoctrinate me.
It's the LGBT activists in the Democrat Party I have a problem with. They respect nothing but their own agendas. They forced every State to allow Gay marriage. The Democrat Party is trying to force every public school to allow so called Transgender boys into our duaghter's sports.

I still have no idea what commercials you are talking about, which should be easy to find because they are probably on youTube, on account of I still have no idea what ads you are talking about because I don't watch TV.
Why don't you provide any links to these ads? Is it because they aren't offensive and it will make you look weak? (you already do)
I think I have a better idea anyways...
Suppose I spend my own money to find out who your kids are and deliberately target them specifically with LGBTQ ads?
How does that sound? There is nothing that says I can't do this provided I don't break any laws.
If you are going to throw around empty accusations and threats I may feel obligated to make an honest man out of you.

Why are you being so lazy though... If someone went to a restaurant and the waiter told you that you had to cook the food yourself, you would leave.
I'm being truthful when I say I have no idea what ads you are talking about because I don't watch TV... I'm not calling you a by asking for evidence.
This also doesn't solve the problem of specifics. Suppose there are thousands of such ads but you have only seen or are only talking about a dozen or so, how would I know which you are talking about?
I'm a very evidence oriented kind of guy, because I value empirical truth, which always stems from the data, and never from hearsay.
Please, enlighten us by showing us specifically which ads they are talking about.

You have yet to demonstrate that anyone is "forcing" their commercials into any channels. As far as we can tell, the "LGBT commercial" you saw (whatever it is) was freely selected by the TV channel management that liked the offer from the advertiser. How exactly does the "forcing" work; someone shows up with a machine gun at the studio and says, "Show this commercial, or die"?
Nobody is forcing anything. The society has changed, what it wants to see on TV has changed, and hence the TV channels have changed. It is unfortunate for you that all of it has changed not in the direction you like, but such is life. I also do not like a lot of societal developments, but that does not make me throw a fit every time I see a commercial I dislike. You are just being a little baby here, one that needs parents, rather than should be a parent.
Small correction: there are actually restaurants like that, and they are quite popular, especially in Asian countries (China, Korea, Japan)! Here is a short article about it:
https://www.foodabletv.com/blog/2016/3/1/breaking-down-a-trend-cook-it-yourself-restaurants
I also recommend this nice Korean thriller movie, which features a couple of scenes at such a restaurant:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2015315/
Of course, if your plan was to go to a regular restaurant and you happened across a cook-it-yourself one, then you would probably leave.

Point taken. I have actually been to one of these types of restaurants, but I think the point I am trying to convey with the analogy is clear:
"Why should I go out of my way to confirm your beliefs?"
The prosecution is not responsible for the defense's argument. If the defense has a point to make, they should be the ones making it, because I can't know what they are saying until they say it.

When I speak to the Left being against a community's freedom to display a nativity scene on public grouns, I'm not saying you also support censoring the freedom to display nativity scenes.
I'm saying that those who vote for these Big brother controlling politicians are supporting it with their vote. Are you saying you don't vote for Democrats?
From your posts, I don't believe that for a second!
By the way, I am for the freedom of communties to decide for themselves if they display anything. If the majoirty wanted to display other religious symbols, it would be the voters right to decide for themselves. Not some Big Brother federal Government forcing it's secularocracy on everyone.@Happy_Killbot

I never asked hallmark to put anything on their channel, I don't watch that tripe anyway. Nobody forced hallmark to do anything. It was the decision of the hallmark channel to give into the ideals of activists. Hallmark probably realized they would lose more viewers by not showing the wedding because people would be upset. Ratings are the only valuable thing in this case. Your feelings are not of any value to hallmark, or anybody else, for any reason, and at any time.
Most parents DO want their children to learn the nature of a diverse society and learning about people who identify as LGBTQ is a part of that. Your feelings about that are also of no value to anybody, for any reason, and at any time.
