I am told that the "Sex in the City" television series showed heterosexual women acting and talking like homosexual men.
Television thrives on novelty. If you are going to sit in the same room, at the same time, with the same people, and watch the same little box, you better have something different on!
The tale is told of an odd uncle, who came to visit. He told inappropriate stories to the children, his grasp of facts was shakey at best, or horribly wrong at worst, and through his energy and shear volume, he dominated all conversations in the house. He also constantly encouraged spending too much money on the merest trifles.
Except for it wasn't an uncle, it was television.
The homosexual activists' gift to American popular culture is a malignant, self-effacing narcissism, something many people are too stupid to realize.
