Something kinda interesting.

ELLEN BARKIN SPEAKS OUT AGAINST UTAH NBC AFFILIATE’S BAN OF HER COMEDY ABOUT GAY PARENTS

Ellen Barkin is one of the stars of NBC’s The New Normal, a comedy series that follows the lives of a gay couple (the two guys at left), the single mother and law student who’s having their baby in exchange for educational funds (Barkin, middle), her daughter (bottom), her bigoted mother (second from right), and the gay dudes’ personal assistant (far right). Whether or not it actually pulls off being funny and thought provoking is a matter of some debate.

However, KSL-TV, one of NBC’s Utah affiliates, doesn’t seem to have been thinking along qualitative lines when they announced that they would refuse to broadcast the show, period, a decision that Barkin is putting down squarely at the door of censorship of positive portrayals of gay people.
