Truthfully you would not get near the pro-gay/anti-gay or muslim threads if you were not part of FREEPERS. Before FREEPERS, I would not hear anything about these outlandish stories. Since FREEPERS, you do tend to hear stories that other people don’t know about or ever hear.
I disagree. All the gay stuff is constantly thrown at us on TV, movies, books, magazines, music, etc. A rare and obscure lifestyle choice is now thoroughly embedded in the culture.
Here is an example:
I'm not that old, mid 30s, and I remember going to high school and never seeing or hearing about an actual gay person till I was in college. These days, there are thousands of gay clubs in high schools.
Being gay has become "cool", a lot of young people are suckered into being gay or at least "bi."
