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!

I think that this article was very interesting. I completely agree with you that we are taking a step in the right direction with homosexuality in this country. We have seen it everywhere and i think that because it is on prime time TV now, more people are becoming accepting of it and they are allowing there children to watch it. Shows like glee and modern family are shows that families watch together and i think that if the children of this society are open and exposed to it, it will be something that is widely accepted in the future. Even though there are still people who are anti-homosexual, the numbers of people in those kinds of groups are decreasing and that gives hope that we might be changing for the better.
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely have a bright future when it comes to this, I think our generation and the generations after us are going to be entirely accepting of homosexuals in every aspect of life. I'm just glad to see how far we've come as a society and the impact it has done!
