Gay ‘Family Guy’ episode sickens the American Family Association

”WARNING!! The following information is offensive! It is offered as informational evidence of the sickening material broadcast on FOX Network. The March 8 episode of Family Guy, a disgusting cartoon that airs Sunday nights on Fox network, condoned bestiality, gay orgies and babies eating sperm.”

A posting at the AFA regarding a recent airing of ”Family Guy,” the Fox TV channel’s hit animated cartoon that is less about a linear plot and more about skewering just about anything the creators can think of. In addition to the acts mentioned in the AFA’s warning (promotion?) the lead character is injected with a ”gay gene” which causes him to act effeminately, talk to his child about glory holes at a circuit party, lose sexual interest in his wife, and move in with a man. It also skewers Ronald Regan’s sexuality and the ex-gay movement. (AFA)
