Hey Ladies...
I didn't quite know where to put this post, so I figured I would just put this in here since maybe some of you will understand and won't jump down my throat lol
This week I've been watching the season premieres of many "hit shows" on Primetime TV (ie. Empire, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, HTGAWM, etc.), and let me just say.... After last night I am truly flabbergasted.
As a Christian woman, I just don't feel like I can personally watch those shows any longer. They bother my conscience! I personally never was a watcher of HTGAWM, in fact, last night was my FIRST episode I've ever watched of that show. I figured, since Viola Davis got such critical acclaim for it at the Emmy's last Sunday, I might as well check it out to see what it's about.
Well.... needless to say, I was shocked. I just can't believe how much homosexuality and homosexual relationships/situations are portrayed on TV now days! And Empire... ugh... I watched the first few episodes of the first season, and liked it until it got to be too ratchet and morally degrading. Even Scandal was getting to be a bit too much (although I admit, I really liked last night's episode...).
But almost every SINGLE show I watched this week (Grey's, Empire, HTGAWM) had some type of homosexual theme/romance/kissing in it, and it is just making me a bit uncomfortable. Even watching heterosexual relationships on TV that are too risque bothers my conscience. Here I am a Christian woman, trying to remain chaste for marriage, and these images are on my TV screen.
I realized right then and there last night that I cannot have a steady diet of this type of "entertainment" if I want to remain "chaste" and clean in God's eyes. To me I feel like a hypocrite.
Is it just my imagination?? Or is the "gay theme" so prevalent these days?? BEfore anyone starts throwing e-darts, I am NEVER discriminatory of gays/lesbians or LBGT individuals. I believe that EVERYONE (no matter WHO you are) deserves respect. But the constant barrage of homosexual imagery is just so common these days. Almost like it's being made to seem more "normal". You know what they say, when you see something often enough, it starts to seem "normal" to you. #psychology101 Even the constant blatant violent imagery in some TV shows these days is just a bit much for me now.
These days...I don't know...... I just feel like these are all a tool from Satan.
Your thoughts???
