Newsreaders (TV Series) Gay Camp (2013) User Reviews

Offensive without the benefit of being at all humorous

[ray.orourke · 1/10 · 15 February 2013]

"Gay Camp," comparing the atrocities of the holocaust to summer camp, is completely devoid of humor and as offensive as you could possibly imagine. If there was ever a show that needed to be cancelled, this is it. Our community is still dealing with suicidal teenagers, and in an age when a campaign called "It Gets Better" becomes necessary, this show is just too over the line of what should be acceptable television. It basically attempts a bad joke that the way to deal with gay teens is to send them to be treated as inmates to a Nazi concentration camp. I'm sorry but I don't find the history of how gay people were treated in concentration camps (the origin of the pink triangle) nor the bullying and mistreatment of gay teens to be at all humorous.
