Becker Intro

I realize Becker is setting up his book, but I want know what caused the emergence of homosexuality in tv in the late nineties? Becker sets us up like he's going to tell us then doesn't. It's interesting to me that it burst onto the scene with such force.

I have to comment on the John Stewart comment about the 'two dudes kissing.' To me, he's absolutely right, we can say that the economy or all the other issues caused people to vote in certain ways but homosexuality is such a big deal still as it was then that it was what people focused on. There was so much media coverage about it it was engrained in people's mind as the most important issue that they sided with whoever they agreed with on the issue.
