The world has evolved. White people are depicted as being friends with black people on TV now. Chinese people aren't only cast as the laundry shop owners anymore. Baseball players come in all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities, origins, and sexual preferences. And yes - consenting adults of all varieties on TV kiss. The TV studios want to make sure that ALL the advertisers' potential customers are represented.
That is commerce. When people evolve, the media has to evolve with it. The Puritans are the vast minority, and the vast minority doesn't have as much buying power as the vast majority. This is capitalism at work. The opposite would be communism. I'm okay with capitalism.

Let's hear it for capitalism. Yeah! The TV media aims toward the younger under 25 crowd because they spend more. So, the programming and cultural attitudes reflected are about that group's lives mostly. The baby boomer domination of culture is over! We are only important because we vote a lot. Some specific media and movies are directed towards us. The Villages is an island of rock and roll and older people and ideas. And this Villages island is even becoming younger, Soon rock and roll will be played less and less on Village radio! We will all go the way of the Dodo and the buffalo here in the Villages! Gone and a slowly vanishing memory.
