WGBH delays show featuring lesbians

[ClarkUSA]

WGBH-TV (Channel 2) has pushed back airing an episode of its new ''Arthur" spinoff ''Postcards From Buster" because the episode features a lesbian couple and their three children.

<snip>

''Postcards From Buster" airs weekdays at 5:30 p.m. The series -- which is part animated and part live-action -- focuses on an 8-year-old rabbit who travels around the country with his father, an airplane pilot. In each episode, Buster visits with children and asks questions about their way of life. Real-life children are featured in the live-action segments while Buster's voice is heard in the background.

Since it launched last year, ''Postcards From Buster" has profiled several different types of families, including children who live with their grandparents. The show has also focused on children from a variety of religious backgrounds, including Muslims, Mormons, and evangelical Christians.

''The show's goal is to reflect the lives of American kids," said Hopkins. ''It's not meant to be political."

2. If it weren't really happening...it'd be hysterically funny

When is SNL going to do a skit on this...oh, I forgot, Lorne Michaels is a Bushie.

WTF!!!

Michaels is a RWer?

When, how, why?

5. Lesbian show replaced by an airing of The Passion of the Christ

I wonder if it's all that fanciful.

6. Ignore reality!

7. They Fear Christian Intimidation...

and now tread lightly and cautiously at the mere mention of the word "lesbian".

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!

8. If people will just get a satellite dish, they can escape this infantile

prudishness. On Free Speech TV they have a gay news show and another show called Dyke TV.

There's also a lesbian network called HERE, I think. That one kind of comes and goes. I come across these shows and smile in bemusement that they are allowed on the air.

I have gay relatives that appreciate this programming. Never find it on cable, though.
