What Goes on Behind Closed Doors

Ok, so here's the scenario.
A couple of years ago, I had one of those days where I had hours to drive and so I switched on to an unfamiliar radio station. It had some decent Christian music, so I listened to it until the programming switched over to a talk radio show (It wasn't Focus on the Family, but it was a similar type of syndicated show).
In this show, the hosts were talking about some kind of gay and lesbian convention that was going on in Chicago at the time. They discussed the kinds of seminars from the program that this convention had available, obviously picking out the high points for sensationalistic value. The issue was, they were lobbying for the national hotel chain to kick these conventioneers out because children mught be staying at the hotel.
Well, let me say, I got shanghaied on this radio station. They did give a disclaimer that the material might not be suited for kids, but they did not prepare me for what came next. They proceeded to give graphic descriptions of certain behavior, most notably FISTING. It seriously began to sound as if these radio hosts were getting off on talking about this subject matter.
I really wanted to dash off a nasty email to that station as soon as I got home.
I don't understand the mindset that makes someone want to fully delve into a lifestyle with which they don't agree. I don't want to hear about the specifics of gay sex (lesbian sex is different; as long as dildos aren't involved, I might actually pick up some pointers there). What you do in your bedroom is your business, what I do in mine is mine. And that's the way it should remain. The voyeuristic mentality of certain conservative radio "journalists" sickens me.
Just my two cents,
