Conservative Christian siteWorld Net Dailyis running a report on Hasbro’sThe Game of Life, with claims that it is “pushing the homosexual agenda” by allowing same-sex marriage in the game.
“You know how kids are,” says one concerned mother, as she tried to overcome the trauma of thinking about gay people existing. “My daughter noticed right away (even before I did) and clicked on one of the girls instead of one of the men and then asked, ‘Mom, how come I can marry a woman?’ And then that led into a lot more questions that, quite frankly, I was not ready to talk to my 6-year-old about.
“I went back to the web site and left a very respectful review of the game just stating that this kind of thing should be left out of kids’ games, and the Shockwave.com administrator removed my post, stating it was inappropriate.I had no idea how insidious they were being with pushing the homosexual agenda.”
You know, I’ve always wondered what this so-called “agenda” was. I’ve heard bigots push that buzz-word around but it’s never been explained. Are they going to force us all to turn gay by touching us with their hands and infecting us with theirGAY POWERS? I’ve heard they can do that! Or maybe thereisno agenda, and it’s just a bunch of pathetic gay-hating worms who are using sinister words without explaining them to terrify the gullible masses. Nah, that’swaytoo crazy a thought.
Perhaps promoting gay marriage in a game aimed at kids is not the best idea, since they’re too young to think about sexuality. Of course, had this gameactuallypromoted gay marriage, there’d be a debate.The Game of Lifedoes NOT promote such a thing, it merely allows it, should a person choose to do so. Not restricting a thing is not the same as “pushing” it.
People who go out looking for gay things might want to take a long look in the mirror and ask themselves why they’re looking so hard. Oh,Jack ThompsontoldGamePoliticsabout the story, by the way. He’sveryinterested in gay issues, I hear.
