On May 6, 2012, Vice President Joe Biden declared his support for same-sex “marriage” on NBC’s Meet the Press. The culture, Biden said, had shifted, and it was time for politicians to follow. “I think Will & Grace did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody has done so far,” he told David Gregory. “People fear that which is different. Now they’re beginning to understand.”
The mainstreaming of LGBT ideology on the big and small screen was not accidental. In the 2020 five-episode documentary series Visible: Out on Television, a parade of actors, producers, directors, and TV hosts detailed exactly how the movement pushed, in public and in private, to shape the stories that shaped America (and beyond).
As one of the main actors on Queer as Folk, a show that featured explicit depictions of homosexuality, put it, “Television has the power to normalize something that people don’t understand.” Peter Paige of Queer as Folk concurred, explaining, “I firmly believe that television is a weapon to be wielded very thoughtfully.” And so it was. The LGBT movement has owned the entertainment industry for decades, and they are secure enough in their ownership to make documentaries explaining how they pulled it off.
