Commenter Controversy Of The Week: Is Lizzy The Lezzy Recruiting Our Youth?

"Closeminded 'tude?" Interesting. Also I guess its a good thing that I am the first to post here, to point out the fact that you misspelled my name, and I am not here to bash the idea of Lizzy the Lezzy, as much as I am claiming the notion that it wouldn't be the smartest idea to have this in a medium such as MySpace, which is accessed by thousands if not hundreds of thousands of adolescent girls. Eventhough Lizzy claims assuredly that there is some level of control to viewers of her cause.

Jewcy Staff:

"But Mark is not a homophobe, he says. Case in point: he has not only seen 'Will and Grace,' he has "reflected deeply" on an episode in which Will's dad confronts his son's gayness."

LOL! Your right I am no 'homophobe,' as you put it though I wouldn't use this word, as I see it slightly deragatory. However, you are correct, I am as you say not a 'homophobe!"

Jewcy Staff:

"...just because something is a cartoon doesn't mean it's aimed at children and that he might be more "opposed to lesbians" than he'd like to admit."

In no way am I insistently opposing to lesbians. I believe this idea is a formulation of the other comments, claiming in so many ways than one that I am somehow "shallow" in my thinking, or in fact "opposed to lesbians," as you so eloquently put it. I would beg to differ, however everyone is entitled to their perspective opinions, no?

Lastly, I am somewhat perplexed as to the idea of why what I said made it to the front of Jewcy's website under "Oh Snap!" The full comment was as follows:

"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."

I could take a safe bet and say either it was put there to show the radical nature of the analogy or in fact that the last part of the comment was purposefully cut, that read: "..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." So I could say that this was done to incite or excite this conversation, but I'll let Jewcy be the judge of that... ;-).

Great topic, but this concludes my end. I do apologize for your misunderstandings, and hopefully we can all still live in peace and harmony, gay, lesbian, or straight.

Marc, I corrected the spelling of your name in this article. I'll let someone who was involved in this address any other concerns.
