New show following gay mormon men that are married to women but are attracted to men.a

As Jon Stewart once said, "You can't run away from the gay. The gay works out."

 

[Dreams-Visions]

reeeeeally scraping the bottom of the barrel there, TLC.

I guess we're going to ride reality TV until the wheels really do fall off.

 

[Sou Da]

Is this a "It's not gay if your wife's okay with it" thing?

EDIT:Oh it's a special not a series, thank god.

 

[FallingEdge]

keeping it on the down low

 

[Escape Goat]

How embarrassing for them.

 

[redmetal86]

Gotta replace Honey Boo Boo with something.

 

[TetraxShards]

"He prefers the company of men!"
"Who doesn't?"

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Oh my god, that last line. I feel bad for him, its not going to be easy to find a lady that's okay with being a beard, I hope he gains the confidence to just date men eventually.

 

[Twio]

I don't even see how this is funny; I feel bad for the fucking guy if anything. Can't even be who he is. I know he signed up for this but TLC really needs to take initiative and chill with the exploitative bull shit.

That is how they start.

Hahaha

Gaylard Williams?

Simpsons has literally covered it all..

TLC continues its downward trajectory. This is the kind of shit I have in mind when I cheer declining cable subscription numbers.

As far as the topic at hand? In my experience, when a guy is torn between dick and no dick.. dick tends to eventually win.

 

[TheAbsolution]

That is how they start.

Yep. It'll be a series within the year. You can count on it.

This is just feeding into what will ultimately be a lifetime of misery for these guys if they don't get help.

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

Should probably stick to the rivers and lakes they're used to.

 

[Timeaisis]

Anxiously awaiting "My Five (Not) Gay Husbands".

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Are these men attracted to their wives too though? Maybe some of them are bi?

This is certainly a possibility, and for their sakes I hope they are actually attracted to their wives.

 

[Frodo]

After the initial reaction of laughing about it, I've realised it is just plain sad to make fun of those men living in such a homophobic and oppressive environment (regardless of the potential of everything being staged). Won't be watching or contributing to any of that.

Not sure there's any downward trajectory left. They've been reveling in the role of bottom feeders for years now.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Denial would have been a better title.

Religious hypocrites continue to be the most frighting group of people.

I don't know how you can believe in god, believe in eternal punishment, believe god says not to do something and do it anyway.

 

[jb1234]

Those poor guys.

[TimeEffect]

We need a reality show... where we observe the lives of reality show producers.

"Reality Show: The Reality"

 

[CDX]

TLC *sigh*


...Well ...I'd hope they're bi. Otherwise being married to someone you have no sexual attraction to sounds awful for both people.


It's sad to think about how homophobic some communities still are in the US.

 

[studyguy]

Laughing too hard at work.

 

[nateeasy]

God dammit

 

[John Kowalski]

Glad to know they aren't gay! That would be bad.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

This is certainly a possibility, and for their sakes I hope they are actually attracted to their wives.

"I'm attracted to my wife, for sure. And I'm definitely attracted to men too."

It sounds like some of them are bi (the horror of a bisexual man marrying a woman!) and some of the others seem like they're "pray the gay away" type people.

Spoiler

I'm going to watch the shit out of this.

 

[Henchmen21]

Reposting what I said in the LGBT thread when it was mentioned there:

The funniest thing about this is SLC is the biggest gay community in Utah.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Goddamn lol

 

[BKatastrophe]

TO completely change my first post, since I misunderstood that it was a special and not a series.

Is this an important thing, in any way. Like, I personally do not find this interesting at all.

 

[Volimar]

I wonder what the people who rand TLC 15-20 years ago think when they see things like this.

 

[ronito]

Reposting what I said in the LGBT thread when it was mentioned there:

To be fair, that's like being the most socialist community in Texas.

WTH? Lol

None of them are even cute, will not watch.

Anyway, if they say they're attracted to dudes but also their wives they just sound bi. What's the big deal?

 

[HylianTom]

True. If you had warped me from 20 years ago to today, I'd be convinced that some parts of Idiocracy are coming true (despite being well aware of the story's flaws).

I'm not racist, but I'm in the KKK.

Coming Spring 2015 TLC.

 

[ivysaur12]

They're gay, or at least bi.

 

[GamerJM]

I'm actually confused about the premise. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be about bi dudes or gay guys who are "attracted," to their wives as people but not physically in any way.

 

[Bomber Bob]

dunno look's fun

will watch

Oh, I'm dumb as that makes much more sense (loosely) for a show. If that's the case, these dudes will be on Grindr within a couple years looking for "discreet hookups." It's already full of closet cases.

 

[jackissocool]

I think it looks pretty interesting, actually. Definitely not what I would say is the typical garbage reality tv show.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I would have hoped that they were all 100000% gay because bi men marrying women isn't a big deal. At all.
