Top Ten Pro-Homosexual Sponsors on Television

Summary:

Between February 11 through April 5, American Family Association monitored the top eight prime-time network programs featuring lead or supporting homosexual characters.  These programs were specifically identified by the activist-homosexual group GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) as GLAAD Media Award winners, or as showcasing leading or supporting homosexual characters.

Formula:

Each program was recorded and reviewed to identify sponsors.  For each ad, the parent company of the product advertised was given one point.  For example, Unilever products advertised ALL detergent, Degree, and Slimfast.  Quaker Foods advertised Gatorade, while Ford sponsorships featured Lincoln, Volvo, and Mazda.

Only nationally placed ads were counted (local commercial breaks were excluded).  The chart below reflects the top ten companies sponsoring the shows, along with the number of ads each company sponsored the program with.  When shows aired multiple episodes in one evening, the time of each episode is listed.

Results:

In each program monitored, homosexuality was promoted in a positive manner as a normal and accepted lifestyle.  Some scenes included homosexuals kisses and bedrooms scenes.  In instances where opposition to homosexuality was portrayed, the opposing character was publicly ridiculed or condemned by the other characters on the program. 

Ford Motor Company was the top sponsor of programs promoting homosexuality on the prime-time network programs monitored.  Companies who scored less than 20 points are not included in the results below.
