Family Guy episode

[shaggys]

I saw a Family Guy episode yesterday that had a direct reference to Straight inc in it. The episode is called "Family Gay" and came out in 2009. Peter submits to a round of medical experiments for money. He is turned gay by one of the experiments. Brian (the dog) has Peter committed to "Straight Camp" to teach him not to be gay. In the next scene it shows a scene in the group. Lines of kids in chairs, hands on knees, wide eyed and staring straight ahead. It was incredible! Both my wife and I sat there stunned. We both knew that whoever wrote that part of the show was either in Straight or knew someone who was. My wife fortunately was never there but knew a direct reference to Straight when she saw it from hearing my descriptions of what it was like. I was wondering if anybody else has seen this episode and what their reaction was to it.

Pulled from Hulu already.

Wow, does this mean we're all gonna be famous :rofl: ::puke::

I didn't see the episode, but isn't it possible that they were just ripping on some other program that openly markets itself as being a place that can "fix" your gay kid? Was there any telling iconography, like the 'direction for youth' Straight heart logo or anything?

That could be because the fix-a-fag camps use Straight Inc tactics.  There are a few threads on fornits about that.  Same language too.

Found a link to Love in Action's program outline.  Check it out.  I'm sure you'll notice the similarities are more than skin deep.
