Because it wasn’t until 2003 that the Supreme Court struck down all state laws that criminalized homosexuality.

@ScottR what about all the murders on TV?

@Stopmakingsense I guess it’s less controversial to portray murder in a negative light.

@ScottR not even. War and murder are effective and not necessarily evil, on TV. Only on TV.
