They are now working gay couples into virtually every series on t.v.. My GF and I laugh whenever two guys are making out during a show. I don't care about their sexuality, but watching dudes kiss romantically kind of makes us laugh. In an 'eeewww' kind of way.
But...there's someone for everyone. Some people like skinny/heavy mates, and if you like the former you don't understand the attraction to the latter.
We don't judge, but it's still a little odd right now.
Which is why it’s done
Freedom for gay people and desensitization for non gay people
My son was introduced to the idea of gay people at around five
We had some neighbors who were gay
They were great people who we interacted with on a daily basis
Over for dinner
He played with their dogs and cats
He adored them
One day I told them that these two friends loved each other like me and his dad loved each other
That they were a couple just like me and his dad
He looked at me and said “really?”
I said yes
And that was it
That’s just how big a deal it was to him
It changed nothing in his mind
In middle school he did end up fighting three kids in the park because at school he was friends with a kid who came out as gay
He was at the park next to school after it let out
Three of the asshole kids who had been attacking the kids approached him and started to call him gay for having a gay friend
He one by one punched them out and left them all lying on the ground crying
Those kids never bothered him again
