It was Joe Biden who persuaded Democratic President Obama (who opposed it during his campaign) to push for it. Therefore the Democrats own it.
...... In the mean time .... the GOP is still trying to figure out what the word "Pop" means ......
...... Heck ...... Give them another decade .... and they might actually figure it out ....
Hollywood is going to have to break into their archives and burn a lot of their old films.
The first openly gay character I remember seeing was Billy Crystal’s character on the TV show “Family.” It was funny then. It’s not funny now.
In Hollywood it’s been going on since the 1970s. Gay or bi was in then in Hollywood. Loads of drugs, glitter-soaked guys, songs like AC/DC. When I was growing up it was all around me. There were guys in full makeup in my high school. They were popular except in the locker room where they did get beat up. When I worked in hotel kitchens there were also a bunch of out gays in the 1980s. When I worked in Ronald Reagan’s office tower the entire word processing staff were gay men, including my boss, and Halloween they all dressed like female hookers. In 1982 Santa Monica Boulevard was chock a block with young gay or just willing men (often students) hanging out on bus stops or corners hoping to score a $20 from a closeted guy driving by. Yes, I knew some of those guys. Low on cash, they’d just go and pull a trick. After AIDS those streets cleared a LOT. But out and proud has been a long time coming.
Hollywood has not gotten any gayer. They just slowly started to leak it into the media they sold.
Absolutely—the Churches ceased to be a force in the culture-—particularly the Catholic Church which forced obscenity laws on Hollywood in the 30s through the Courts and had a solid moral code for movies—but after VII, with the end of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s TV program and death of JFK, the Catholic Church just disappeared. The next time you heard about them it was always about the pederasty. (except they pretended it was “children’ so it wasn’t known it was a “homosexual” thingee. At that time there could be NO negatives about the “gay” lifestyle. That is why the LIE about the Matthew Shepard case-—he was killed by one of his homosexual orgy partners because of a drug deal gone bad.
All the news was to give the CORRECT perceptions to the masses: Homosexuals “good” and Christian White people —EVIL and Bigots and Haters. That meme was repeated over and over and over in subtle ways like the oxymoron “homosexual marriage” and it becomes the truth/possible-—esp. to the generation forced to have “Pride Days in anal sex” and forced to hear books telling lies-—like Heather has two Mommies.
The schools forced generations to embrace Evil as Good. They flipped the moral code of children—it didn’t matter who the parents were because schools took over the role of parent along with the TV.
You had Protestants try to pick up the torch in the 80s but the MSM was so powerful, they made many into jokes—demeaned them with photos and by framing the words in the articles which gave the wrong perceptions. They also set them up, planted honey traps, etc. for big take-downs.
it was the lazy parents, though, who allowed their children to watch TV and embed the morals of those who were sleeping around and hyper sexualized like “Friends”. Sex was meaningless and just for recreation and you were SO COOL and SO BEAUTIFUL if you could sleep around with a number of guys or girls.
Prior to 1960-—morality was formed by playing and practicing real life skills and interaction with real people, playing board games where children could learn to control their base emotions by learning how to make and keep friends. Relationship skills have to be practiced continually through ALL stages of life-—and it can’t be done watching a screen....that programs the brain which shuts it down to a large extent.
Children need to move around and use all their senses in the real world to understand Reality—and have Common Sense-—so they can use Reason which controls emotions (true maturity)..
Now they prefer screens to people and relationships unless it is for a little sex-—but many males are now just too lazy and stay with the porn in the basements...It is EASIER-—to sit in front of a screen.. Artificial emotions——trained to have to be entertained every minute (instant gratification) which destroys Virtue, and there can be NO REFLECTION. With no reflection (quiet-no screens etc), it is not possible “to Know” anything and find the Truth, and make sense of all the information given.
Just a bunch of “brains in a vat”. ( The Amish were the smartest of all-—no dehumanization at all).
Back in the 90’s, Ellen Degeneris had a sitcom. In the beginning days, she portrayed a straight woman, but eventually there was an episode in which she announced that she was gay. This was a huge deal with some gay and lesbian co-workers. I remember them discussing it, and some of them said they were so overcome with joy that they cried. All I could say was, “You are getting your validation from a sitcom.”
This is no big revelation since we all knew what they were doing, and quite frankly, it’s not as successful as they think it is since there is quite a backlash building right now because of SCOTUS.
Yeah, and Hollywood long promoted smoking as cool until almost 50‰ of the population got hooked and millions died horrible deaths as result. Who in Hollywood will take credit for that? And now Hollywood has helped infect the country with homosexuality. Great.
