Evan Martel for the Media Research Center—a conspiracy theorist publication whose “sole mission
is to expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the
national news media” openly confessed to having watched the episode of Modern Family
in which the two men get engaged, and furthermore, he confessed that it
gave him feelings. He actually found himself sympathizing for gay
people. For a moment, Evan Martel actually thought that gay people were
human beings entitled to basic civil rights, and that, he says, is that
makes the show so dangerous.
He writes:
“I laughed. I cried. I felt. It moved me like good art is supposed to do. But that’s the problem. It moved me. It made me feel joy for Cam and Mitchell after the Supreme Court over-ruled California’s Prop 8. And that is what makes this show great. And dangerous.”
Why “dangerous?” Well, because this show, he says, is an unrealistic
portrayal of homosexuality. It relies on “misleading” feelings about gay
people—like that two men can truly love one another, that gay couples
are part of the evolving landscape of American family, and that, for
many, the overturn of DOMA and Prop 8 was a life-altering event. It’s
“dangerous” because the show can leave you feeling sympathetic to the
LGBT community– the horror!
