Why is there so much homosexuality on TV?

[curling]

oh I don't know, I guess there's always history books.

And you trust those? Come on you are smarter than that aren't ya?

I disagree.

The reason there are more gays on TV is because homosexuality sells. People watch it (people meaning mostly straight people or the ratings would suck), and advertisers respond accordingly. It's that simple. If it weren't profitable, it wouldn't be there, period.

All this crap about agendas and "forcing their lifestyle" on straight people is laughable.

The rise in the "homosexuality" spotlight in television and movies, like all issues, correlates with the rise in interest groups vocalizing their issues. No different than M.A.S.H., around the Vietnam era, the single independant woman shows (Mary Tyler Moore, Who's That Girl, etc.) around the rise of NOW, shows discussing the topic of abortion, around Roe v. Wade, etc. So, as the issues continue in real life, the media will use the controversy as fodder for their shows.

The side effect of the constant bombardment from the media, is that the populace begins to accept the agenda, as presented by the writers and producers of the shows, as the valid opinion.

Say long enough and loud enough and even the boldest faced lies become 'fair and balanced'

Shoot you a PM huh. Sorry sister, my dance card is full for the weekend.

Oh, and the typing slow bit has been done to death, so no need to try it twice in the same thread.

Between you and curling, well, there's 20 IQ points I'll never see again. (That means I'm dumber for even responding to you.)

I hope you two live happily ever after.

Weak, just like your wrist and prolly your sphincter as well.
