That US TV and movies reflect the reality that 87.6% of people in the world are gay?
Am I the only one who's sick of it?

Whenever I hang out with friends we make sure there's at least one non-straight and non-white person (not necessarily the same person) in our group so our reality can reflect that from TV.
As a result we never hang out anymore and I don't have any friends

Actually, we're staying away from Transformers.
They're... complicated[^]

No, no - VW. Transformers would be for Ford van cup holders.

Oh, I know a couple of gay devs (not a couple couple, but literally two).
The trouble is that I know hundreds of devs, so I'm wondering which 87.59% of them is in the closet.

They are trying like the dickens to desensitize us.
Aside from sports (not soccer btw) My tv is off until the ball is actually in play largely for that reason.
Someone tell me, what is the connection between dog shows and full on ferries?

So dont watch it. Those series are crap anyway.

The only current TV show I watch is Grand Tour.

Which is a bit weak this season IMHO.
At least they are apparently dumping "conversation street" and the tent for Season 4, to concentrate on the bits they do well - going from A to B in silly ways / vehicles / hats.

You're obviously wiser than most -- and more likely to become even wiser, rather than dumber.

Don't have a TV is not equivalent to don't watch TV. The question is, does he stream?

I dread to think what "stream" is a euphemism for.

Likewise  I don't get why anyone needs a tv nowadays.

I share the extreme annoyance that the LBGTQXYZASS culture is being forced down our throats on virtually every type of media.
HOWEVER - I first observed this in British TV, such as the Dr Who spinoff, Torchwood, where the made the primary character uber-gay. Prior to that, and since then, I find that (apparently) most British couples are mixed race. The US is doing this "Me Too" movement of the second kind. Stupid shows, the ubiquitous talent contests, all have to have a somewhat flaming judge or two or three. Anyone recall, as well, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" - as though gaudy dress-up (read that "metrosexual") is an example of good taste . . . depends upon who you're trying to attract, doesn't it? The repeated attempts at getting men to use makeup (not just money) - and shaved chests. Here's one - a real favorite of mine: runway models were flat-chested and emaciated - I guess the big name designers waned them to look a lot like like young boys . . .
Now - I don't really care who hugs who - everyone needs affection. Furthermore, if I had my druthers, if legal, I'd have a number of mates, of assorted races, as keepers - not just one-nighters. But none of this - absolutely none of this - needs to be shoved down our throats (pun intended) until, like the OP, one starts to resent it.

I pretty much only watch TV shows and movies on trains, and getting the "He's watching gay pron!" look is not something I appreciate.
AFAIC, it's nothing to do with "enlightenment"; it's about getting one of the largest TV-watching demographics to be glued to the screen -- teenage boys.
Best not to go into what the glue is.

According to them, then you're a closeted gay.

I don't really worry if they say such things about me, because, according to them, Everyone's a closet gay.
