Friends, the real predator is intolerance, hatred and bigotry - and it has led to tragedy too many times. Paramount rightfully pulled a show in 1998 that offended African-Americans ("The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer"), but is fine with Dr. Laura equating homosexuality with incest and pedophilia. Paramount needs to hear that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Americans deserve equal respect, not a double standard. WE STILL HAVE TIME, BUT WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP. Please call and email Paramount now - flood their phone lines, and their email in-boxes, repeatedly - and tell them you are outraged that they would try to profit from homophobia by airing a talk show hosted by Dr. Laura.
