WASHINGTON &#8212; Vice President Joe Biden is praising Jewish leaders for helping change American attitudes about gay marriage and other issues.
Biden says culture and arts change people&#8217;s attitudes. He cites social media and the old NBC TV series &#8220;Will and Grace&#8221; as examples of what helped changed attitudes on gay marriage.
Biden says &#8220;Think &#8212; behind of all that, I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it&#8217;s in Hollywood or social media, are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry.&#8221;
Biden says the influence is immense and that those changes have been for the good.
Biden was speaking Tuesday night at a Jewish American Heritage Month reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee. He says Jewish values are an essential part of who Americans are.
