Hey bloggers,
This week's review is about a very volatile and debated subject. In this week's episode of the real world, the main focus of the show was homosexuality. It was the annual pride festival in San Diego and seeing as there are two gay housemates everyone decided to attend pride events to support their two housemates and to support gay and lesbian rights... Everyone that is except Zach and Ashley.
Zach was raised not understanding and being accepting of the gay culture and does little to show that he is open to their life choice. Ashley simply doesn't care and due to their mutual attraction she does whatever Zach doesn't.The house becomes divided when they choose not to go out with the rest of the housemates to a gay and lesbian bar. Later on Zach makes an ignorant comment to Sam, a lesbian, just after she's received news that a close friend of hers has been in a bad accident. This upsets, not only Sam and Frank, the two homosexuals in the house, but the rest of the cast as well.
A divide is created between the housemates and assuming by the previews of tonight's episode, drama will ensue. Catch tonight's episode at 10pm on MTV.
I think its great that a hsow like Real World on MTV is helping its viewers see the ignorance in people who are prejedice against people who are simple different than them. I don't feel you need to agree or particpate in anything that makes you uncomfortable but you should be respectful of other people's lifestyles and choices.
ReplyDeleteThough I am not a fan of the Real World, I have been watching the show as of late. This season is, by far, more entertaining than previous seasons have been and MTV is doing a great job marketing the show. However, the controversy caused by exploiting homosexuality tip-toes across the line of acceptabliity.
