There are tons of porn channels, and a lot of them are gay. Mostly pay-per-view or late night.

In your defense though, even the straight TV porn is a bit "gay" when compared to the quality, selection, and plethora of free porn online.

Side: Yes

I think it might have had an influence on people's mind.

But I think for the most part, people have just gained common sense.

Side: Yes

Some TV did lend its influence on changing the views on Gay Marriage that swayed the public to accept it more.

Amish would faint at the site of a TV. And commit suicide at the thought of gay marriage being legalised.

Side: No

Tv is a small portion of people's lives. I think if anything has or can change their mind on gay marriage it's themselves, or the greater influence of their parent.

If one strips away all preconceived notions of "good" "bad" "right" "wrong" "normal" "weird"

And are left only with the merits of an action and are to judge that action based on good vs ill for those involved only,

Then there is no conclusion but legalizing gay marriage to come to. All other reasoning is based on those things mentioned, frankly on misconceptions of "right and wrong" "weird and normal"

TV, Internet, Radio, Newspapers, no media has influenced the quick and overwhelming shift toward support of gay marriage

more than logic itself.

When there are no logical reasons and no real examples of harm, media can only inhibit change in that direction.

Those against gay marriage are the ones subject to outside influence, not the other way around.

No humanitarianism and anti authoritarianism did. Also hatred of bigotry did and more common secular personality is helping. People are also beginning to realize religion does not create morality.

Side: No
