Tila TequilaMTV star Tila Tequila has said she thinks she played a part in the Californian Superior Court’s recent decision to drop its ban on gay marriage.

Tila’s show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila featured 32 contestants - 16 male and 16 female - competing for Tila’s affections and she believes it helped normalise the idea of bisexuality.

She told Us Weekly recently: “It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement.

“Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships].

“Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal.”
