I miss the way tv used to handle these types of things...
The normalization is everywhere. I watched White Collar for the very last time last night because they decided to be an agenda program and I refuse to be agenda-ized. The series, which usually has good writing, just threw away the main characters and featured a woman agent in the office and, completely irrelevant to the story line, made her a lesbian with many smoochie scenes with her girl pal. They made it all so very normal and the writing suffered from it. I don’t like things like that thrown in for no reason whatsoever and I will never be watching it again.
However, there is possibly an up side to all of this normalizing of alternate lifestyles in that eventually there will be NOTHING left to blackmail the GOP with since we shrug off nearly every behaviour, even tax evasion. Finally, when they can’t be threatened with being “outed” maybe, maybe they will vote for the right things. Trying to find the pony???
