No, this is a technique used by communists. Bolshevik means 'Majority'. He's basically saying, 'resistance is futile - we are officially mainstream.' Other vocal socially and politically radical groups have done the same thing as well.
Saying it, however, doesn't make it so. He's using a single measurement - depiction of the affliction of homosexuality on TV, as the single measurment.
It ignores, for example, the latest genetic studies that have preliminarily linked homosexuality to genetic anomalies. There is a lot of science left to do on this, but there is enough evidence out there to indicate that homosexuality is one of a class of disorders such as incest, pedophilia, and other sexual disorders that may have genetic origins.
I hate to say this, but I think it is true. At this point, marriage has devolved to a legal arrangement in our society. The religion left marriage in the fifties and sixties. It used to be a sacrament, or a religious rite that bound souls. God married to his Church - the Bride of Christ. Man married to woman.
This type of marriage isn't gone, it just isn't written about any more. It isn't going to make an episode of Sex in the City, because the four 'heroes' of that story actually know the ending: Their series never ends. They come together and fall apart, and then they get old and they become alone. It's just that they get less beautiful and nobody wants to watch them have sex on TV any more. If any of them actually found real love, God, and real marriage, the rest would sort of, I don't know, just fade away, wondering what happened to their friend that disappeared after getting married.
That's too much like real life.

You make a number of good points, especially when you say there is "still more science to be done on [homosexuality]."
Homosexuality is clearly a disorder (isn't any feature of our physiology out of order if it can't perform the function it was designed to do?), we're just not exactly sure where things went haywire yet.
