Society today has turned the topic of homosexuality into a very touchy subject whether it is in a classroom, among friends or even in churches. Even though I strongly believe that homosexuality is wrong and immoral I do not think that that is and reason to treat homosexuals as lesser people.
Now even though I feel this way I really want to look at how the media portrays people in this light and how simple platonic relationships can sometimes be viewed different, like Turk and JD in "Scrubs."
The nice thing is that even though this is a topic that rarely gets discussed openly, there is still a lot of information out there on this topic and surprisingly the majority of the information is reliable. Also there seems to be a good amount of information on both sides of this argument. The fact that I am very involved with a church that has just been through that trials of a split due to the topic of homosexuality, I consider myself pretty knowledgeable one this topic.
I have found great websites that religious groups have put together such as http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibc1.htm which has done an excellent job of giving both sides of this argument that homosexuality is wrong which will make it easier to examine how it is portrayed in the media and specifically the show “Scrubs.”

I really like that although you are against homosexuality and are religious, you still do not treat homosexuals any different. I completely agree that it is a very touchy subject, with many sides, opinions, and arguments. It's not exactly a "dinner talk" conversation. Some people get very offended and some simply cannot stand to listen to the other side’s argument. For me, I do not care if someone is a homosexual. I don’t find it morally wrong, and I feel like to each their own. What another person does doesn’t concern or bother me unless it is something that directly affects me. Although this is my opinion, I can still see where many other people are coming from. It’s such a controversial topic, however it’s hard to say if religion can be used as an argument, since religion is different for each and every individual.
