Why so many gay couples in tv shows?

Looks interesting.
And yes, the devil is full of tricks. Including convincing us that something like same sex “marriage” really isn’t wicked in the eyes of the Lord…or at least Catholics shouldn’t care if it is a norm in secular society…

Satan is far more intelligent than any human being. He is a prowling lion, and is constantly probing for weaknesses, especially in Roman Catholics. Why? Because we are the Easter people. I believe he hates the Roman Catholic Church above all. And fears it, because it is Christ’s one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.

Yes agreed! The devil wants to destroy anything to do with the mercy and power and love of God, so he attacks the fullest source of truth, the Roman Catholic Church

For those promoting censorship the door swings both ways. The Bible is usually on the American Library Association top 10 banned or challenged book list. For promoting Christianity over other Religions.
 
Ditto, the use of terms like “homosexual/heterosexual people.”

There are no “homosexual” or “heterosexual” people. But some people experience same sex attractions/temptations. Some only experience opposite sex temptations/attractions.
 
I am talking about serious prosecution of pornography, material which should not be allowed to circulate.

Western governments used to protect citizens from such material. Now some of it might be labeled as indecent/offensive, whereas if it is objectively obscene it ought to be banned and the purveyors fined or jailed.
 
The reason why gay couples are shown in more television shows these days is because it is an attempt to normalize homosexuality. I am looking for a link that explains this in more detail but I cannot find one just yet. I will continue looking for a while though and if I come across a link, I will be sure to post it.
 
Same-sex attraction cannot be portrayed, as it is a component of human experience, not an act.

Most of the objections here are to acts which suggest that sodomy is either amoral or morally positive, when it is intrinsically evil.
 
Homosexuality is disordered because sodomy, the end towards which homosexual thoughts tend, makes use of human sexual organs in a non-reproductive way. But there is nothing inherently sinful about the same-sex attractions associated with homosexual mental processes. With God’s grace, any temptation may be overcome.

What is evil (sodomy) must never be accepted by the Church or her members.
 
“Being gay” (whatever that means) and having experienced SSA are conflated. I have experienced intense SSA (which is not uncommon among men and women), but I do not believe I am diagnosably homosexual.

Defining using one’s sex organs in a “non-reproductive” way as immoral is subjective. Christian morality defines it as such, for sure. But forcing your morality on others, and treating them differently because of that, especially by denying them the rights you give to others, is wrong.
Would you void the marriage of a heterosexual couple that engaged in oral sex?
I don’t get the attacks. Homosexual people that get married love each other. Why the hate? It’s a good thing. I don’t are what they do in private, just as I don;t care what heterosexual couples do in private.

All these arguments tend to devolve to simply “the Bible says so”. And that is fine for Christians, and you can attack me personally for still claiming to be a Christian and have these views - but you can’t attack or criticize others in our secular society. Gay marriage is a good thing. I’ve seen it. That doesn’t imply in any way that heterosexual marriage isn’t a good thing either. I can’t in any way see something that produces such goodness as immoral.

According to the statistics, you’re in the 12% category.
But if you did act on those feelings, or perhaps found a same sex partner you cared about and decided to get married - you would of course have to deal with the religious community effects.
But from a secular standpoint, you would have every right to do so.
 
If a married couple engages in oral sex, or any form of sodomy, it does not “void” their marriage, which on a natural level is an exchange of rights and duties to ask for the marriage debt, which can only be paid by the marital act. The marriage pact exists by virtue of their free consent to bind each other to the payment of an act which is ordered towards procreation. Hence, the impotent cannot marry, because he cannot do what he has promised.

No appeal to the Bible is necessary. Reason alone tells us that the conjugal embrace requires a non-impotent man and a non-impotent woman.
 
No, as I doubt the question was “have you ever experienced SSA?”

If that were the question, I would think the number would be higher than 12%.

But “gay” and “bisexual” are confused if not meaningless terms of discourse, unless by “gay” you mean “happy.”

I don’t think that most straight men experience “strong SSA”, just as most gay men, by which I mean men who are predominantly attracted to other men rather than women, don’t experience “strong opposite sex attraction.” If someone experiences strong sexual attraction to both sexes, he would probably be considered bisexual.
 
My point is that surveys which ask respondents vague questions get poor results which cannot even be interpreted to any conclusion.

If the question is: are you “gay”, “straight” or “bi”, how is one to answer? The range of sexual attractions can’t be filtered down to those categories. If you have once experienced a mild attration to someone of the same sex, are you then “gay” or “bi?”

Ultimately, those labels are not meaningful. It is more meaningful to discuss SSA, which can tempt a person to sodomy. SSA has no moral content. Sodomy does.

Or maybe the producers of the shows are trying to make them more appealing to members of their audience who are gay, just as some companies have included gay people in their commercials so that more gay people will buy their products.

I don’t think that most people would have a difficult time deciding whether they’re “gay,” “straight,” or “bi”. If someone is mostly attracted to women and has had only a few fleeting and mild or weak feelings of attraction to the same sex, he’d probably consider himself “straight”. Or someone who has almost never experienced even weak feelings of opposite sex attraction and has had feelings of strong same-sex attraction since he was about 12 or 13 would consider themselves “gay”. Even aside from sex, men who are gay have romantic feelings about certain other men that they fall in love with and if someone mostly finds himself falling in love with other men, he’s probably gay. And if a man finds himself mostly falling in love with certain women and is having romantic thoughts about them, he’s probably straight. If a man would rather do a slow dance in the arms of another man, he’s probably gay and if he’d rather do one with a woman in his arms, he’s probably straight.

Those terms belong to the fallen world (which is ruled by Satan) and are meant to obscure reality, which is why Christians ought not to use them.

Instead, we should use clear terms:

same-sex attraction
opposite-sex attraction
homosexuality (a psychosocial phenomenon)
sodomy (whether between two of the same or opposite sex)

Not quite sure what you mean here. I’m not interpreting the data - Gallup is. I’m simple reporting it, and there is a clear difference. I took a research course of seven while working on my Ph.D., so I feel confident in articulating the difference.

Here is Pew Research’s data. They tend to be more reputable:

5 key findings about LGBTQ Americans

As the United States celebrates Pride month, here are five key findings about LGBTQ+ Americans.

Finding worldwide statistics on LGBT would be a challenge. Please, share any if you can find it.

Thanks for your feedback!
