The Violence of Lawrence Welk!
You must take into account the spirit of that consitutional law.
That sounds like judicial activism to me. Try pulling a "spirit of the law" argument on any NRA member and see how far you get.
Anyway...on the TV censorship...My sister and her 4 year old daughter were watching the Lawrence Welk Show on PBS, at the end of one of the acts, they hit someone in the face with a pie. My niece was quite shaken by the violence and didn't understand why people would do that kind of mean thing someone. But my sister was there to comfort my niece and explain the situtation, and I don't think anyone will need therapy from this traumatic event.
So to what level do you censor the shows or commercials? How much do you "protect" the audience from the TV shows? In your case, you were watching a live basketball game, you have no idea what might occur during the game.
I would suggest writing ABC and telling them what you think...power to the people in this matter. Don't let the government have any say what so ever. Let the all powerful "free market" force ABC to change their ways, if enough people feel the way you do, it'll happen, if not, then maybe you are over reacting a bit.

I mean, this is America. Everybody loves seeing lesbians go at it, as long as they are both hot and not in a monogamous, legally sanctioned relationship.
