entertainment in the mainstream culture whatsoever.
Social and/or moral conservatives are AT LEAST 20%. This is an extremely low estimate and is an absolute minimum. Based on various criteria you could put the number at anywhere from 20% to 40% or even by some definitions an outright majority, which far far exceeds the number of gays (about 2-3%). Even including casual bisexuals, gays certainly are less than 10%, even being really generous and throwing in all the young women who messed around with their sorority sisters a few times in college its still almost certainly less than the percentage of social conservatives. Yet, gays have long had their own pop culture and are now fully integrated into the regular pop culture as well. Gay themes outnumber family values themes by about 100% to 0% in today's pop culture.
There is literally no effort to provide entertainment to this potentially large and ignored niche market. The only wholesome entertainment at all is the occasional kids movie (which are sometimes even questionable too) and some third rate Christian music which prattles on about Jesus all the time.
Clearly, Big Entertainment is willing to deliberately ignore the potential massive profits from the Values Sector of society by absolutely refusing to provide ANY mainstream entertainment for it. They would rather LOSE money for their own ideological reasons. Something is wrong with this picture.
