This week I found a video from the show "The New Normal." This show is fairly new and is about a gay couple with a surrogate mother delivering their baby for them. This is a clip of David proposing to Bryan, its not everyday that we see a TV show expressing homosexuality in a proper way or in a loving and honest way. I find it incredible that now society is starting to accept gay marriages. Years ago you would've never seen something like this on TV because people were very narrow minded about gay couples but nowadays people are more accepting of it, but there are still many people who are entirely against it. I find myself to be very open minded about homosexuality, it doesn't bother me at all, if that makes you happy then go for it! I do feel bad that they are treated differently though, especially in the United States, where we live in a free country and people should not be restricted on whether they are homosexual or heterosexual. 

What do you think we should do to make gay marriages more accepted in today's society?

This is an article from 2011, and it is talking about how on the hit TV series Glee the two homosexual characters have their first kiss. "That the sweet scene between two teenage boys aired without a din of controversy surrounding it speaks volumes about how far we've come since network TV's first same-sex kiss twenty years ago on L.A. Law. " this is a quote from the article just saying about how far we've come to not have a problem with seeing a homosexual couple kiss on national television. The article goes on to talk about how it took until 2001 on Dawson's Creek for there to be the first gay kiss on TV to be shown. It's really good to hear that something like this isn't bothering Americans anymore because as a country we have come a long way and we still have a ways to come, but at least we are starting to move in the right direction!
