Kyle XY's gay-friendly episode draws the expected complaints

...for example, this post from StAtEpRoXy:

Who Are You People?

My daughter loaded this show on my iPod as a gift and I ended up blowing through season 1 & all the aired shows in season 2. I think its quite fun. Where on earth did these "offended" parties attend high school? I grew up in Orange County, and distinctly remember my youth being a midfield of s-x, illicit narcotics, political change, and political music (the beginnings of punk 1979). I was even in MGM (what is now called GATE) from grades 1-7, and many of those kids were dropping acid, smoking pot and having s-x (yes, in 7th grade)! Of course being exposed to all that, you are also exposed to the consequences of such actions (police, mental health issues, and family planning visits). Admittedly, some of my friends gave in to such temptations and suffered for it, but all of us are happily married (not a single divorce among us) and are quite successful professionals. I'm not saying this exposure is a good thing, it simply was and is, reality. The sad thing is that children today are exposed to so much more and so much younger. Consequently, If you found this show shocking, and believe that your high school children should be sheltered from its content, you are truly an ill informed parent! Compared to the reality of their school day, this is a religious zealots version of high school!

Of course, the offended parties tended to be blatant homophobes and bigots who vehemently denied being that way. Perhaps because they saw themselves being portrayed in the episode and didn't like what they were seeing. One of the most deluded statements I read went something like: "I'm not a bigot/homophobe; I have gay friends. I tell them that their lifestyle choice is harmful and that I don't agree with it. But they're still my friends because I tolerate them." Uh-huh...right.
