This didn’t just happen recently, the television and movie industry has been pushing their agenda since their beginnings.

I think that you’re overstating the role of TV and film in changing how Americans view homosexuality. Here’s what it says in the Wikipedia article, “History of homosexuality in American film”:

I think there was a little misunderstanding of my meaning. It is not that TV and film has been pushing the homosexual agenda since it’s beginning (though there has been some) but that they have been pushing “their” agenda, whatever it is at the time, since their beginning and a large portion of their agenda has been immorality.

Going back to the 1930’s a lot of the movies produced pushed divorce, adultery, and out of wedlock pregnancies. Not to speak of all the murders they have portrayed over the years. It’s like the writers are, hmm, how many murders can I portray in this show and how gruesome can I portray that murder?

It was due to audiences during the early days speaking out against the lewdness and immoralities of the motion picture industry that produced the Hays code. It is well noted regarding “pre-code” movies, how different they were and the immorality they contained compared to movies during the time of the Hays code. The movie Morocco, 1930, was the first movie with a lesbian kiss.

The Hays code was not the TV and movie industries idea and they pushed against it, until it was finally done away with and then we ended up with the MPAA rating system and now the media, many times ignores that. Besides they have pushed the bar of the MPAA rating system so much that movies that at one point would have been rated R are now rated PG and some movies they do not even rate. (Watching a movie that says it has not yet been rated, is watching a movie at your own risk).

One of the big influencers in the changes seen in the media regarding homosexuality (besides the sexual revolution of the 1960’s, which was a major influence), is this book that came out in 1989 - After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the ’90s.

There have been exceptions in Hollywood that have used the motion picture industry for good, such as Robert Young’s Father Knows Best, but today, those people are made fun of.

How about having a job and being afraid the employer will find out what religion I am? Or what parts of the religion I follow?

But what does this have to do with same-sex marriage?

Not marriage specifically.

But I said in one of the earlier posts that gays could be fired just for being gay (and still may in some states). That is, if the employer “found out” the employee was gay, the employee could be fired.

The other poster brought up the situation of the employer finding out what religion an employee is. I replied that if the employer found out and fired the employee for that, that would be illegal.

It’s illegal for an employer to fire an employee for your religion.

It’s not illegal, in a lot of states, to fire gays.

That may be, but tough to prove.
I think a lot of religious folks worry about their employment - - yes, it would be illegal to fire anyone for that reason, but they can make up any reason they want. Or, if somebody works in a “right to work” (HAH!) state, there’s not even any reason to be fired.

Maybe the solution is for more Christians and Muslims etc to become scriptwriters etc?

I think this thread ran its course. Yes popular media includes gay couples. Whether you see it as good or bad we must all admit that there is an agenda to normalize these kinds of relationships, and that this is one of the many ways they are doing it.
 
In the case of Catholic schools, the applicant must testify to understanding Catholic moral teachings, then promise to live by them. If they break their promise and thereby bring scandal to the Catholic Church, they can be terminated.
 
Agenda, yes, absolutely. And “many ways,” most definitely. This wickedness rears up like a hydra. The only way to destroy the beast is through prayer and witness and steadfast resistance.
 
If it were only that easy. I’ve personally been around Hollywood enough to know that it is largely an echo chamber of moral rot and perversion.
 
I know enough about Hollywood to say that is true, for the most part. But hope is what we should live by. I’ve seen some good acting and cosplay on youtube. One doesn’t need a 100 million dollar budget.

A married woman should no longer makes decisions or live her life based only on herself or her own self interests but decisions that are good for her and her husband and her family.

Just like men. Who are also not independent if they are married—they are interdependent. The weirdness arises when people think husbands have authority over their wives.
