I love Ellen. She is funny, makes me laugh, helps mornings go by, and stands up for some incredibly causes. On her show the other day was this beauty of a commercial. The commercial is actually from a new TLC show "Virgin Diaries" that follows couples who have "saved themselves for marriage". Since I know several couples who have done just that, I find the show both interesting and a train wreck waiting to happen. While the show sheds light on this ever-shrinking population, it is also making a spectacle of these couples, mocking them in a way. Watch this video for example...
There were serious outcry's from this commercial in particular, so TLC released a new one that addresses some of the dialogue that the couples engage in where they discuss their reasons for waiting, their excitement, and their "plans" for the wedding night (kinda awkward, honestly).
Regardless of how I feel about not having sex until marriage, which honestly I can't say my feelings on this are set in stone, I am kinda disturbed by how many people are laughing at this couples' first kiss. I can only imagine the excitement that led to the kiss, and the embarrassment that they are feeling now...
Is it fair to make fun of these couples who take waiting for sex to heart? I get mad when religious groups require such practices, so shouldn't I also fight for the rights of these couples to practice their beliefs in privacy? Then again, they chose to put their lives on TV. Did they chose the mockery or the exposure?
So interesting!
#87: Grateful my life is not on camera. Privacy is a beautiful thing.
#88: Country Christmas Special. Beautiful, peaceful, and a great reminder of the joy in the season.
