Nickelodeon Network To Air Program Promoting Homosexuality To Children

Homosexual newspaper proudly proclaims, 'Nickelodeon goes gay.'

Nickelodeon, a TV cable channel for children, has in the works a program which apparently will promote homosexual marriage. Reports say the program will include a discussion of homosexual families, homosexual marriage, and anti-discrimination laws; and an interview with homosexual school children. The intent of the program, currently scheduled to air June 19, is to present homosexuality and homosexual marriages as being "normal" to the children who usually watch Nickelodeon.

The "Washington Blade," a homosexual newspaper, indicates that the show is already in production—contrary to what Nickelodeon Executive Vice President Marva Smalls recently told Andrea Lafferty with the Traditional Values Coalition. According to Lafferty, Smalls said the program was only in the development stages—not in full production. “Nickelodeon has lied to me twice about the status of an upcoming show on homosexuality,” said Lafferty. “It’s time for Nickelodeon to get its story straight about their plans to promote homosexuality on their children’s network.”

Lafferty said some of the leading questions asked the children include:

  • Do you think it is morally wrong to be a homosexual?

  • Many kids are growing up in non-traditional families (2 moms, or 2 dads). What do you think about that?

  • Many schools are bringing issues about homosexuality and diversity into classrooms. Should homosexuality be taught in classrooms?

  • Do you think homosexuals are discriminated against?

  • Do you think we need laws to protect homosexuals?
The program will be hosted by Linda Ellerbee, a longtime supporter of homosexual causes. She is host to Nick News which is shown in classrooms across the country as part of Cable in the Classroom. This means that the program promoting the homosexual agenda will go to a captive audience of children in classrooms as "news", designed to shape the minds of millions of children.

ACTION NEEDED

Sample Letter

Dear President Scannell,

I’m writing to ask Nickelodeon not to air the program promoting the homosexual lifestyle. Since the program is still in production by Lucky Duck Productions, I cannot give you the name of the program but you know the one.

Should you indeed air this program, you will lose viewers and trust. I look forward to a positive response from you that this program will not be shown.

Sincerely,
