After "Silence of the Lambs". Homosexuals were outraged by the portrayal of the psychotic homosexual murderer who killed women for their skins to make a "woman suit" for him to crawl in to.
They beat down the doors of the Hollywood studios and screamed bloody murder at them, and told them in no uncertain terms that they were never to do such a thing as that again!
The Hollywood studios responded by creating a homosexual committee/liaison to screen potential plots for anti-homosexual themes. No more movies could be produced which painted homosexuals as abnormal or sick. Eventually the Television production facilities came under this same group, and so now all the TV shows produce "gay friendly" scenarios whenever "gay" is touched on by a TV show.... Which has now become virtually all the time.
Honest to God, it has gotten so you can't watch much of anything without someone introducing a "gay this" or a "gay that". Now they have gone from making sure that movies and TV portrays "gays" nicely, to movies and TV's that constantly portray them as normal as well as ubiquitous.
We are being inundated with Gay Propaganda that is modifying American public Opinion and emboldening the "gays" more and more every year.
And *THAT* is how it became "cool" to be "gay".
