"NBC DIDN'T MAKE YOU A BITCH. YOU WERE BORN ONE."

Tbogg notes that Focus on the Family is throwing a tempertrantrum over a recent episode of Law & Order: SVU.

Focus on the Family said this week's Law and Order episode offered "60 minutes of misinformed homosexual activist rhetoric."

The episode focused on a therapist counseling men and women about leaving homosexuality. According to Focus on the Family, "The show's writers took every opportunity to discredit the effectiveness of such counseling and even had the therapist murdering his homosexual son's lover by show's end."

Focus on the Family says current research proves that sexual orientation can be changed, and its staff includes a man, Mike Haley, who says he "personally walked away from homosexuality over a decade ago."

In a press release, Haley said he was "stunned" by the "misrepresentation" depicted on Tuesday's Law and Order episode: "The truth is that, for those struggling with unwanted homosexuality, there is a way out, and thousands of men and women who have voluntarily taken that journey are surely expressing outrage at this attempted invalidation of their lives and experiences."

Always one for biting humor, tbogg notes: "Haley later conceded that SVU star, Christopher Meloni has '...a really nice ass. And I'd do him if I weren't so gosh-darned hetero...' "

Hmm, of course if Haley and his FotF bretheren watched Meloni's other show they'd have access to much, much more than an ass through a pair of slacks. Hmm, for "recovered" homosexuals they sure enjoy their Keller fix.

Kudos to NBC for actually airing something that might piss off conservatives, unlike some other networks I could name. Too bad, Haley et al, why don't you guys go have a barbecue with Reverend Phelps or something.

(slight sidebar: in 2001 and early 2002 Oz was probably among my two or three favorite shows on all of television, I miss it terribly, and seeing Harold Perrineau in the Matrix sequels just isn't enough for me)
