Why so much homosexuality on tv?

I really don't watch a whole lot of tv, but flipping through the channels today I couldn't believe how much gay stuff was on there. Seemed just about every other channel had a ridiculously flamboyant gay dude talking like a pervert or acting like a woman.

I really don't care what any consenting adults do in the privacy of their home, I just don't like this kind of stuff thrown in my face. And I certainly don't want my kids watching this kind of garbage. Is that much of the US gay or is it that more women watch tv than men (women love gay guys...)? I did a quick google search and found that only around 4% of Americans identify themselves as gay, so why is this culture so prevalent in entertainment?

Well it's because we all used to be Gay, then I remember when in the early 60's my mom told me I couldn't be gay anymore because some queers stole the word from us.... I don't care I'm still gay, just not a ***.

It's likely that homosexuals are a bit more common in the entertainment and creative industries. The folks who make TV shows are a bit more likely to be gay or have good friends who are gay. Therefore, they are more likely to want to put gay characters in the stories they write and shows they produce. However, until very recently stories or shows with gay characters were not allowed on TV. That left a lot of stories untold and shows unproduced. That creative back load is working itself out now.

Something similar happened in the late 70s and early 80s with African-American themed shows. Before then, it was nearly impossible to get a show on TV that focused on black characters. Then Norman Lear broke the ice, and we saw a lot of African-American centered shows like Cosby, Good Times, What's Happening, Family Matters, etc.

I don't know where the OP lives, his channel selections must be different than those in OK. We don't have cable at home but I am sitting with a sick friend today and he has basic cable so I went off to the living room to run the channels and see what was on.
News shows, evangelists, 5 or 6 sports channels, a whole lot of "true crime" type shows a few nature shows, a couple food shows a few movie channels (none premium) that were showing 20 year old movies and some really BAD sci-fi.
The most gay thing I saw was a commercial with some dude shaving off all his body hair in the bathroom mirror ending with the words "I'd **** me".

When I was in high school in the 80's we were told that 10% of people were gays, but most were just hiding it. Classroom of 30? 3 in the closet. Damned if I know what the real numbers are.

Ever see one of those recent movies where there is a random but obviously out of reality black character involved? Like a war movie where units were segregated but heres this movie with a black character as part of the unit. That's part of the PC, Dont be racist agenda. Gays in movies are simply the next wave.
Wait until the Christian white guy is finally reduced to a distant memory...

It's not that homosexuals have their own shows, but that they are written into the story lines of shows where previously there weren't any. Disney is a BIG supporter of the LG community.

Its not just the homosexuals, there are a lot more murder shows, shows with adultery, gluttony. We don't watch much TV so I could be missing others.

It's all in when/what channel you watch.

It's a conscious attempt at social conditioning to change the mores of Americans.

While last winter's march was smaller than average due to the extreme cold, the annual March for Life in Washington has drawn larger crowds than presidential inaugurations that take place just a few days earlier, but unless yow watch Al Jazeera, Russia Today or are connected to that movement you wouldn't even know that it happened. I've known people who live in DC that could vouch for how much more congested the city is for the latter march, which probably exceeds practically every other event in that city. But Obama's comments on gay marriage at his last swearing in got far more media attention, brought to you by people who consciously shape the social agenda by their choice of what to cover.

Even fifteen or twenty years ago when the march only drew about 200 000 marchers, that was still a far larger movement than anything put on by the gay lobby, and probably exceeded the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s by a wide margin. Even if you don't agree with the issue at hand, one would have to be blind not to see the influence of a media machine that's highly selective in what it chooses to cover.

Personally I don't see many gay things on tv,I rarely ever see any openly gay characters. if the plot, and acting is good I could carless if A gay person is thrown into the show. As long as there's no gay guy intimate scenes Ill watch the show. If a gay guy intimate scene happens, I'll just stop watching the show and that's the end of it. Instead of wining about gay people on tv, just get Netflix and watch the shows you want. B$&/?ing like a little girl isn going to stop gay people in holly wood, choosing other forms of entertainment is much more productive. Just my opinion.

Man, if this was all I had to worry about . . .

I have friends and family members that "play for the other team", so to speak. I enjoy their company. My wife enjoys some of those shows that others want verboten. Pretty sure I'm still comfortable enough with my sexuality that it doesn't bother me. Matter of fact, I rarely notice it. Maybe I'm going to hell with the rest of those sinners.

Or maybe those who protest doth protest too much . . .

So what, if you don't like it change channel. I work in entertainment and there are many gays, its a industry that exepts them, as long as they don't try I on I'm not bothered by them.

I see a lot of bible crap on this thread, sorry but gays are real I'm still waiting for evidence that GOD is real. If GOD existed why you on a peppers site surely if god wants you dead or alive you wount have much say in the matter

Because Satan has his booger hooks all over this fallen world. Now that homosexuality is considered "normative" behavior, look for bestiality, pedophilia, and polygamy to become mainstream.

There are those who despair because they read the Revelation to John and can't find a reference to America. Worse yet are those who read it and do. Welcome to Babylon, where the great whore is best depicted as a transvestite.
