Bigots Come To Life After The Walking Dead Airs Gay Kiss

Several people took to social media to publicly express their discomfort over seeing two gay men kiss on last night’s The Walking Dead. I’d like to talk about certain aspects of the show that people don’t complain about. Caution…spoilers!

1. Adultery – In Season 1, Episode 2, there is a graphic adulterous sex scene between Lori and Shane. In this scene, Lori purposely takes off her wedding ring and then has sex with Shane. This isn’t some passionate love scene either. This is some heavy breathing, stomach licking, pant removing action. Then, the credits roll.

2. Gore/Bloodshed/Violence – Obviously, a show about killing zombies will feature plenty of bloodshed, gore, and violence. Especially with many trigger-happy people trying to survive the apocalypse. In Season 1, Episode 3, Merle’s severed hand hangs handcuffed to a pipe after he was previously imprisoned on a rooftop. From early on in the series, it is clear that gore and bloodshed is a huge element to the show. The Governor gets stabbed in the eye, a guy gets a machete through his skull, and Hershel gets beheaded. You get the picture.

3. Premarital Sex – While Lori and Shane carry on an affair, several of the survivors are seen having sex with one another also. Shane is also with Andrea, there’s Glenn and Maggie, the Governor and Andrea, and more recently, there is a very explicit scene between Abraham and Rosita.

4. Cannibalism – For Season 5, after having encountered a group of cannibals, “The Walking Dead” heavily revolved around cannibalism. In an extra gruesome scene, the cannibals eat the leg of another character.

5. Murder – Murder is featured prominently throughout the show. The main characters are constantly killing zombies in various ways. There’s arrows, machetes, guns, swords, etc.. There’s also other forms of murder. There’s a very disturbing episode when a young girl named Lizzie kills her sister. Carol then decides she must kill Lizzie in return. In every aspect, this show revolves around death.

6. Lesbians – Yes, one of the main characters on the show is a lesbian. In one episode, Tara admits that she “likes girls.” Is there an uproar over this, or is no one talking about it simply because she hasn’t been shown kissing another woman?

7. Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Cursing, Drinking, Etc. – This is par for the course on this show and there are too many examples to mention.
