Her arguments defending ABC's decision to precede the show with a parental warning due to homosexual content are simply a reflection of homophobia. Hole states that homosexuality is an adult topic which children should be protected from. Here, Hole is making a mistake. This is not an issue about sex.
Children learn that men and women fall in love and get married when they grow up.
And most of the time they learn this before they know anything about sex. The fact that a woman can grow up and fall in love with another woman has nothing to do with sex, and it's not an inappropriate message for a child to learn even if the child knows nothing about sex. It is essential to the health of our society that children do learn this lesson. Homophobia is constantly hurting our children, through intolerance, hate crimes and the high suicide rate among gay teenagers. I do agree with Hole that it is not the media's responsibility to teach children social issues, but I would like to see the media showing positive portrayals of many different aspects of our society.
