Keep the pressure on the sponsors of The New Normal

By: American Decency Staff

Approved.  Customary.  Innate.   Commonplace.  Typical.  Inherent.   Conventional.  Accepted.  Just a few of the synonyms for the word:  “Normal.”

This is what NBC and creator Ryan Murphy are pushing with the show “The New Normal.”  An approval and acceptance of gay marriage and gay parenting.  “The New Normal” is supposedly championing the cause of “tolerance and acceptance” with the show’s premise of two gay men and their quest to have a baby via a surrogate mother.  However, their “tolerance” turns to intolerance of any viewpoints and values that differ from their own. 

In fact, as one reviewer wrote:  The New Normalis a deceptive show, one that touts itself as open to all kinds of people yet openly mocks people who are actually different.

The good news is that of the 55 different companies that sponsored “The New Normal” during the months of September and October, 73% have not advertised at all in November after hearing from you and thousands of others!

Repeat advertisers for this week’s episode include:  Burlington Coat Factory; Microsoft; Barnes & Noble Nook; T-Mobile; Unilever (Hellmann’s mayo); Sterling Jewelry (Jared’s); Wii; and Warner Brothers.

New advertisers include:  Revlon, AT&T, and Paramount.

And while NBC pushes the claim that two gay men parenting a child is no different that a child with a mother and a father, God-given commonsense tells us otherwise.  God’s perfect plan for a family includes the unique qualities of a mother and a father.  Study after study has shown the negative impact on a child when either a mother or a father is missing from this design.  Children raised by single parents are much more likely to live in poverty, struggle with depression, emotional stress, and exhibit violent behavior. 

So, add a second parent – no matter what the sex of the parent – and kids are better off, right?  Wrong.  A recent study by a sociology professor from the University of Texas-Austin found that children of same-sex parents are “more likely to be depressed or on welfare than kids raised by heterosexual couples.”  Fox News reported:  “The study asked thousands of adult children of straight, lesbian and homosexual parents dozens of questions and compared the results. … Adult children of gay couples were two to four times as likely to be on public assistance, more than twice as likely to be unemployed and more than twice as likely to have contemplated suicide.”

In a 30 minute sitcom, NBC indoctrinates viewers with the false claim that it makes no difference if Heather has two mommies or two daddies.  However, it does matter!  And increasingly children will suffer the consequences as secular elites strive to change the value system of our culture.

That is why we need to send a message to the corporations empowering such a message!
