Homosexuality was once scorned and made to believed that it didn't exist, but as of late, there has been an onslaught of TV shows with homosexuality as its underlying theme. Television shows has turned homosexual. Take "Will and Grace", a show set in New York City about Will Truman, a gay lawyer, Jack McFarland, a gay actor taking on situations just as any lawyer or actor would but with twice the puns.It was one of the top rated shows for a few seasons. Or "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" which is about five gay guys using the stereotypical gay sense of style to makeover straight men who are slobs.
Or even the gay talk show hosts like Ellen on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" or Rosie O'Donnell on "The View".
I would like to think these shows are results of our country becoming more open minded. I somehow doubt it. While many countries around the world are legalizing gay marriages, we are still devoutly dragging our proverbial feet and actively keeping out gay marriages. These gay shows are the genius idea from marketing. Those people on the board picking TV shows probably knew that the gay market has been an untapped resource. These shows have made being gay, trendy.
This is the episode where South Park is poking fun at society's need to be trendy. Gay is Fab-BO-LOUS! (Spelling done on purpose)

I believe in gay rights. Even though these shows are probably meant to get ratings, I still have hope that it will change our nation's way of thinking.
