It’s not secret that One Million Moms hates everything Ryan Murphy creates. From Glee to The New Normal, this group of women have had their sites set on getting these shows off the air literally before they even began. The group insisted that “NBC is using public airwaves to continue to subject families to the decay of morals and values, and the sanctity of marriage in attempting to redefine marriage. These things are harmful to our society, and this program is damaging to our culture.”
On tonight’s episode of The New Normal, the gives a little nod to one of their biggest oppressors through the help of their ultimate right winged, conservative character, Jane played by Ellen Barkin. After rallying three girls together who’s parents display Mitt Romney bumper stickers on their car, Jane decides to enstill in them what the true meaning of marriage is to which one girl responds with the classic phrase, “marriage should be between Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” In her private confessional she even states, “gay marriage is legal in six different states. My mom says that’s six too many.” Check out the hilarious clip from tonight’s episode below.

Ryan Murphy’s writing is offensive to literally anybody, gay or straight.

ugh. So over Ryan Murphy. Is anyone actually watching the New Normal? I keep wanting to give it another chance…but I only ever make it 10 minutes into an episode. Can’t stand the little intercut interviews with the random characters….like a sad attempt to play into the mock-umentary style of the Office or Parks and Recreation.
I totally wish this show had been canceled…even though it contains a prominant gay couple. It’s ridden with stereotypes, oerflowing with sappiness, and uninteresting. Sad loss of a great opportunity.

Presumably OMM is also against murder and violence. I hope they’re speaking out against shows like CSI and Law&Order for their depictions of those things as well, or else OMM’s ideals seem a little mis-prioritized. I’d say murder and violence lead to the decay of morals a lot more than same sex marriage.
