In a poll conducted by Bravo's Outzonetv.com, the first broadband channel targeted to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, television trumped religion as far as how Americans shape their opinions of gay and lesbian lifestyles.
Almost half of those polled (47%) said that TV had the most influence on their perception of the community, while religion came in at a distant second (34%).
