Homosexual Discussion ForumOn Nickelodeons homosexual bias and misleading articles.This is old, but the topic was on the front page and something needed to be addressed. I was curious about the Carmelo Torres bit and decided to check this out. I did some research on this Carmelo Torres. "Carmelo Torres, a forty something cartoonist who works for the Culture & Family Institute (CFI) of the Concerned Women for America (CWA), a lavishly-funded special interest lobby, is a rising star in fundamentalist Christianity. Most of Mr. Torres' cartoons focus on gays and lesbians and how he and others in fundamentalist Christianity loathe GLBT people with a passion. The reason Mr. Torres spends so much time creating hateful cartoons directed at gays and lesbians is because he claims he was "abused" as a child by his mother who "switched" from being a heterosexual to a homosexual when he was a teenager. It should be noted that since then, his mother has "switched" back to being a heterosexual, which raises some interesting questions. It should also be noted that Mr. Torres was taped as part of Nickelodeon's gay parenting special telling his mythical sob story; he did not appear on the finished program. Nickelodeon probably came to the conclusion, as we do, that "switching" back and forth from straight to gay to straight is not at all representative of gay and lesbian parents, as if such events actually happened. The fact remains, however, that Mr. Torres' bitterness towards those who "wronged" him is still with him. Mr. Torres' outlet for his anger? Creating cartoons depicting gays and lesbians, among other things, as bloodthirsty sharks and grunge-dressed hooligans. .......The shame is not in Mr Torres' Christianity, as one can be a decent Christian without being a bigot. The issue is his hatred and intolerance. All that talk about "switching" sexual orientations is also suspect, which makes me question the veracity of the whole tale." Some of the 'Pro-family' man's comics. Nice guy. I wonder why Nickelodeon cut him out :roll: |
