Get over yourself Marc. And don't say that you aren't opposed to
lesbians, because you clearly are, or else you wouldnt be worried about
something that is so incredibly ridiculous in the first place.

First of all the idea of advertising this message to a younger generation is not a ridiculous idea, and something my lesbian friends agree with as well. Our youth should be able to come to terms with who they are when they are old enough to realize the gay and lesbian lifestyle, and that following such is no 'peachy walk in the park.'

Second, you get over yourself, would you show your 6,7,8,9,10 year old (etc), these videos? Children at Lizzy's age are not old enough to understand a lesbian lifestyle, and if you think they are I really want to get a hit off of what your smoking!

I knew this would be the general response, however I am not a lesbian and neither are millions of younger pre-teen girls, so why preach something to them that they are not ready for in life? They don't know if they are lesbians much less how sex works, why honor something that propagates this message through a medium such as Myspace, which users are composed of such a widespread young demographic. Sure I could enjoy the laughs of the Lizzy show, which exemplifies lesbians as being under-represented or acknowledged in a negative light. Maybe something to consider would be the age of the character, and how the information of the show is disseminated.

Would you appreciate as a Jew, Mormons every Sunday proselytizing at your front door? This would be the same if I let my 11 year old daughter watch the Lizzy the Lezzy show, it simply is not something geared for the younger youth, even though us adults could get a great laugh and even see and appreciate the diversity of the lesbian community.

And really, you have to already BE a lesbian in order to understand most of what Lizzy talks/jokes about.

No I don't.

I have countless lesbian friends, all who I love very much. Most of all who I share coffee, lunch, and social events daily, weekly, and monthly with. You imply that somehow just because I do not agree with the tact in which Lizzy is being portrayed, that somehow, and in some way I must inherently be opposed to Lesbians.

I am not opposed to lesbians or gays, I respect both just as equally.

Would I opposed to my child being a lesbian? No, ultimately I would be shocked, however it would be the same if I told my mother I was gay! Inevitably, as compassionate people and parents we have to come to an acceptance, and I would graciously accept a lesbian girl or gay boy - after all they are my children, correct?

If you have ever watched Will & Grace, there is an amazing episode where Will's father (played by Sydney Pollack), comes out about his son being gay at his company party. I reflected deeply on this episode, wondering as a father if I would ever find myself in this situation.

Ultimately, I realized that ANYONE could find their selves in this situation as a parent, so acceptance and compassion is key. All I am implying with my point here, is that the young girls of today are diluted enough with the materialistic propaganda of Hollywood, the attitudes of Paris Hilton, and role models like Brittney Spears - in all honesty how much of this do you think is viewed by countless adolescent girls? It is my contention that most all of this is being watched and in some form internalized. By all means, right on Lizzy, your correct in your thesis of the under representation of lesbians in today's society, but the way in which you go about advertising this I can not respect.
