I read yesterday that the show Family Guy [which I have never seen] is credited with raising public acceptance of homosexuality from 40% to 60%, since it’s been on. Those who rolled their eyes at the culture wars will have to accept that it has served to fundamentally transform our country just as Obama set out to do.
I don’t know how anybody could quantify that or ascribe it to one TV show.
I see that upcoming TV will be celebrating transgender teens. First, there is a report coming on NBC about a 10 year old, and then there is a show coming in the fall on one of the discovery channels about a teen aged boy who wants to be a girl called, “I am Jazz”. The ads are running right now.
:(
I wonder what impact Seinfeld had - with its "not that there's anything wrong with that" line everytime anything regarding homosexuality was mentioned.
