Since only about 2% of the people self-identify as homosexual, they shouldn’t have more than 2% of their characters be gay.
Which means that on a typical show, only 1 out of 50 characters should be gay.
And yet I rarely see a show with more than 10 recurring characters on it where at least one of the characters isn’t gay.
Glee for example, has had at least 6 gay people, although I guess being about glee club, there might be a propensity to have more gays. Degrassi is another show with more gays than you find in the general population.
It’s like they are trying to cement the fiction that 10% of the world is gay.
How many gay congresspeople are there? There may have been 6 so far total. I know gay people, but I bet most of us would find that no more than 1 or 2 people we know are actually gay.
And even when you talk about celebrities, the gay celebrities can almost be named. They are extremely well-known, because they get so much more press. But if you look at a typical movie, and look at all the names on the credits, I bet no more than a couple of the hundred-or-so names are actually gay.
On the other hand, Christians are vastly underrepresented in the media.
Gays control the entire entertainment industry...why do you think all of the celebrities are so pro-gay, anti-Republican...they know if they want to continue working in the business that “to get along, you go along.”
Good points. My problem is that the gay characters are presented as the most noble, kind, funny and virtuous people on the set.
