The last time I did the math more then 70% of TV shows had gays even though less then 5% of the general population is gay.

The males have been feminized for 30-35 years. Almost everyday, I find these talk shows on TV asking what has happened to all the men. The theme surrounds that women can't find a good man to marry because they are all immature and want to be cared for not care for them. The men want to sit at home while the wife earns the money. The rolls have reversed, the man is now the wife and the women is now the breadwinner.
I'm not sure I follow your logic. You say males have been feminized through the decades (since ~1985) by watching feminized TV shows and that produced feminized male writers and producers of today. How did TV during those decades become feminized if writers and producers prior to that were masculine?

Speaking of how gay/lesbian themed programing is becoming predominate confirms that TV is imitating life. The same has occurred with minorities especially AA influence in TV programing. Prior to the ~70's 80s AA and other minorities as well as women's roles in TV were of the comic relief, submissive, child like secondary characters. Today we see much stronger minority, gay/lesbian and female roles because we see this IRL not because people are compelled to change they core behavior by watching commercials and sitcoms.

For most of history societies have been dominated by the white male whose influence encompassed all. This influence in the media did not define the character or limits of who women and minorities could be or what they could accomplish. Quite the contrary it may have worked as a catalyst to help to overcome the stereotypes.
