It does, just using this topic, the more common same sex marriage is in the rest of the world the more "normal" it becomes and the more pressure is placed on our society to change. Our peception by the world at large changes too, and though some may not care about it, it does affect us.
And though we may not be able to know or follow everything that happens, I believe that being informed is preferable to being ignorant. I just read a story about domestic workers in the UK being treated essentially as slaves by employers withholding passports and paying pittances if anything. It's not a happy story by any means, but I feel I only gain by being informed. The US is too insular at times, IMO.
