PRO-FAMILY SUPPORTERS OUTRAGED AS THE WB NETWORK'S DAWSON'S CREEK PROMOTES HOMOSEXUALITY TO TEENS

HONOLULU, HI (MAY 31, 2000)--A coalition of national and statewide pro-family groups have expressed their outrage at Warner Brothers (WB) and their local affiliates for specifically targeting teenagers with programs like Dawson's Creek that promote homosexual behavior.

The national and international groups include: Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, American Family Association, Citizens for Community Values, Concerned Women for America, Equal Rights, Not Special Rights, REAL Women of British Columbia, Stop Promoting Homosexuality International, and Toward Tradition. Statewide organizations include: American Family Association of Ohio, American Muslim Alliance-Hawaii, Christian Coalition Hawaii, Concerned Women for America-Oregon, Pro-Family Hawaii, and Christian Voice Hawaii.

Spokesman Mike Gabbard, president/founder of Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values said, "The Warner Brothers (WB) network, which directs its programming at teenagers, has made it absolutely clear that they are determined to convince the young people of America that homosexual behavior is a good and natural thing. Dawson's Creek, which is aimed primarily at high school kids and younger, has been featuring a homosexual love affair between two 16-year old boys that culminated with TV's first male to male lustful kissing scene in the show's final episode. The program aired in on the mainland May 24th and in Hawaii on May 25th, at 5 pm on KFVE-TV channel 5."

The broad coalition today called for pro-family supporters across the country to denounce Warner Brothers' and Dawson's Creek's promotion of teen homosexuality.

"It's outrageous that the WB network and Dawson's Creek are directly targeting teens to promote their homosexual agenda," Gabbard continued. "In addition to the blatant pro-homosexual propaganda in Dawson's Creek, the final episode of the WB's Felicity, which is directed at the same audience as Dawson's Creek, featured an extremely favorable portrayal of a homosexual wedding ceremony. .So here are two of the WB's most popular shows-their season finales, aired on the same evening-- aimed at teens. In Dawson's Creek they've got two teenage boys kissing, and have been focusing on and glorifying their homosexual relationship all season, and in Felicity, they're glorifying a homosexual marriage."

Gabbard added, "Dawson's Creek is the worst, in the sense that it specifically encourages high school homosexual relationships. But the message from both shows is clear: homosexual feelings and behavior and unions are natural, normal and healthy. We are calling upon WB affiliates all around the nation to refuse to air Dawson's Creek in the future, as long as they continue to promote homosexuality on it."

"These are public airwaves," Gabbard continued. "They belong to the public, and therefore we have the right to stand up and fight for our culture and for our right to say what we like and what we don't like. People of faith, and people who don't have these 'Hollywood' values, need to stand up and protest. We're not going to hand over the entire culture to a handful of Hollywood homosexual activist executives. We're not going to let them take over the minds and values of our children."

Gabbard called for pro-family supporters to fax, e-mail, or phone the WB affiliates and station managers in their area, as well as advertisers who sponsor the program. "This is a very serious issue, with our kids lives at stake."

According to the Hawaii Department of Health, there are over 2,000 cases of full blown AIDS in Hawaii. Over 80% are directly related to "men having sex with men." Gabbard stated, "It doesn't take a genius to figure out that homosexual behavior is unhealthy and the cause of many diseases, including AIDS and a host of other STDs. It is unconscionable that Dawson's Creek and Warner Brothers are promoting this dangerous and immoral behavior amongst teens."

"However, it's not surprising," Gabbard added, "given that Kevin Williamson, the producer/creator of Dawson's Creek, is a homosexual activist who has made it clear that his purpose is to make it so that young people come to accept homosexual behavior as normal and natural. Essentially, they are using the public airwaves to promote their radical, political agenda, and now they're going after our kids."

Gabbard stated, "In addition to promoting homosexuality, the WB's Dawson's Creek series has consistently portrayed people of faith, specifically Christians, as small minded, hateful, bigots. It is obvious that Dawson's Creek and Warner Brothers are directly attempting to undermine the spiritual values of the vast majority of Americans, who do not accept homosexual behavior as being normal or natural. The pro-homosexual theme drives a wedge between children, parents, and their priest/pastor/imam/rabbi. What the WB network and the producers/writers of the show are saying is, 'Don't listen to your parents and spiritual mentors. We know what is best for you. Let us guide your life.'"

Gabbard concluded, "Plain and simple, this season's finale, called "True Love" (more accurately "True Lust") is irresponsible broadcasting and definitely not in the public interest."
