J.J. Abrams: Gay Characters Coming to ‘Star Wars’ [may the ZOT be with you]
Daily Beast ^

Posted on 02/26/2016 7:26:34 PM PST by TraditionalMerica

Two months and two billion box office dollars later, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has reaped huge returns for Disney with its most progressive episode yet. Now that Daisy Ridley’s Rey and John Boyega’s Finn have given the Star Wars franchise its first female Jedi and black lead, respectively, does its fearless director J.J. Abrams see a future for a gay character in the galaxy?

“Of course!” Abrams said Thursday night at his Bad Robot HQ, where he hosted the US-Ireland Alliance’s annual Oscar Wilde Awards ahead of Sunday’s Oscars, where The Force Awakens is nominated in five categories. “When I talk about inclusivity it’s not excluding gay characters. It’s about inclusivity. So of course.”

As I've said before, being gay is like being handicapped: not a bad thing, but also not a good thing. The media needs to stop turning everything into some new civil rights thing and the left needs to accept that yes, the majority, be it white, or straight, WILL be predominant in society. Stop trying to change everything.

Being handicapped is not immoral. Being homosexual is.

Is nothing sacred?

Does everything have to be dragged down to the lowest level to appease the perverts?

Can’t we have any small niche of life free of this oppressive political correctness?

I predict straight people wont go, gay people will. Are these hollywierd people insane or do they wish failure to be like other democRATs?

And this crap is why the franchise should have never been sold. Disney will ruin it.

I’m sure Walt would be disgusted if he could see what his creation has become.

As if there was ever any doubt that the Mos Eisly Cantina was a gay bar.

also, the homo agenda people tried to corrupt Luke Skywalker in fan fiction (http://www.slate.com/articles/briefing/articles/2000/04/luke_skywalker_is_gay.html) as they tried to corrupt Link from Legend of Zelda (see http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960633-the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/61918782?page=3 and every guy at a Halloween party that dresses as him). Thankfully tho, Nintendo hasn’t caved to the gay agenda people (as the video game industry has actually kept its balls).

Another reason I say the Democrat Party moved away from me; these kind of cultural extremists, with their lord and master Barry Hussein Soetoro, have taken it over. Donald Trump is the cure.

If JJ Abrams includes a homosexual character, I’m done watching. Seen every one in theaters since 1977.

No, I think even the straight liberals will go, because they like to be seen as tolerant. Sad. And the diehard Star Wars fans will go even though they may plan on overlooking and ignoring the gay stuff just because they like Star Wars.
