Why does the media work so hard to appeal to....?

Question

...homosexual audiences when they only make up less than 2% of the US population? I personally find it offensive whenever I see it anywhere in the media (yes I know I can just turn it off or not read it) but doesn't it seem more like this is just another way the media is attempting to help corrupt our society's morals?

EDIT: Nice try Katie C but I'm not a racist. I judge everyone individually. However, I find it disgusting to see 2 men kissing on TV, and there is no reason why I, or the other 98% of Americans should have to see that.

Answer 1

This sounds like a legitimate question, & I don`t see any anti-gay sentiment here, so the previous assertion that you`re racist is assinine, & uncalled for. Besides, that wouldn`t make you racist, that would make you sexist. The media is largely run by people with liberal leanings. They certainly do hope to make social changes through papers &. tv. I`m sure for them, money is the bottom line, but they`ll cater to other liberals at all costs.

Answer 2

they are doing what business does and responding to their client yes it is less than 2 % of the population but they have huge purchasing power and they use it. It boils down to money allways

Answer 3

i bet your racist too.

lots of people back in the 50's thought black people shouldnt be on tv or whatever but look what black people do now they prove to people that they are equal and should be treated equally. just like gay people.

stop bieng an a**.

gay people aren't going to break anyones precious morals. get over it.

WELL PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO KISS IF THEY WANT TO. I DONT LIKE SEING TWO GUYS KISS EITHER BUT WHO'S TO SAY WE SHOULD CENSOR SOMEONES RIGHTS. LOTS OF PEOPLE DIDNT WANT TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE ON TV BUT NOW LOOK. AND IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Answer 4

Blame the media!

It's all their fault!

Must be nice to have scapegoats. Saves wear and tear on the brain cells.
