"...reportedly causing viewers to change the way they feel about homosexual relationships and same-sex marriage."
Yeah....sure!! Only half-brains like Joe Farrah of WND should be afraid of a homo movie changing their views on "homosexual relationships and same-sex marriage." Most people have more sense than Farrah's gang......
That said, the studios are marketing this nonsense as a normal hetero movie to attract the non-pervert crowd. These desperate tricks will not work...
Did Leni Riefenstahl's propaganda movies influence Germans? I think they did. Propaganda does influence people. Advertising works for the same reason. More people get elected the more "face" time they get on TV.
Most people, unfortunately, don't take the time, energy, or strength of character to really inform themselves. They just suck up what's fed to them. Maybe not most, but enough to matter.
