Netflix has canceled the LGBTQ-themed military series Boots, which the Pentagon had previously called “woke garbage.”
The Netflix series told the story of a gay Louisiana teen named Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), who, according to the Netflix description “finds new purpose — and unexpected brotherhood — with his motley team of fellow recruits” after he joins the military during the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy during the 1990s, which barred openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals from enlisting until its official repeal in 2011. Former President Bill Clinton (D) instituted the policy through the Department of Defense. Produced by the late Norman Lear (All in the Family), Boots earned significant praise from critics, with a 90 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes as well as a 7.9 on IMDB, with Ben Travers of IndieWire hailing it as a “sweet story.”

Netflix (and RedBox) killed Blockbuster with DVDs through the mail & kiosk, with the final nail, streaming.
Now they’re killing themselves. I’m not paying to support that happy crappy Pappy. Go woke, go broke.
IIRC the BCD is only given by a court martial. Was he court martialed?
I could never see who the audience is for these series. Gays only make up less than 3% of the population or less. Even woke people get tired of non-stop gayness everywhere, no matter what they say.
It was also made clear that he was doing it strictly as a way to get out of the military. He was never a trans or gay character.
True. It did add to the anti-military message in it, and we didn't watch it much in my house (a military family) but I did watch it a few years later in re-runs.
It was largely a sitcom, so this guy who seemed perfectly normal wearing a dress and acting like a guy in every way, while everyone else around him mostly stopped noticing, was mildly funny to me. All in all, I saw the actual movie twice, and less than ten episodes.
I always find it interesting when decry open homosexuality in movies and television, and LGBTQ people look a and say "Why are you upset about homosexuality in movies? Flip Wilson, Benny Hill, or even Mrs. Doubtfire have all been on the screen..." to which I reply "Everyone knew they were a movie prop, meant to get a laugh, not to promote homosexuality...and none of them were homosexual."
Or Paul Lynde on Hollywood Squares, I mean, everybody knew.
I remember a series that had a gay character “Hot L Baltimore” that many station refused to play in prime time. They later aired it after the 10 o’clock news here in Memphis.
A few years later “SOAP” suffered the same fate for a little while. Billy Crystal, in an early role, played a openly gay character.
Applause to netflix for throwing away more money showing the series after all the cash blown filming it. Listening to trump is domething hollywood does when trying to save more bloodletting cash.
Hahahaha...of course, in the case of Paul Lynde, everyone knew!
I don’t remember, it was 35 years ago. I just didn’t have to deal with him anymore.
THE BEST OF PAUL LYNDE ON HOLLYWOOD SQUARES | Classic Game Show Comedy Reaction
He was pretty funny.
He was pretty funny.
His private life, not so much.
"...I got a good job, you know, this whole "You loooook..." thing... you know, everywhere I go, they say it. Like, EVERYBODY. Like 22 Mart Street, Peking duck (in Chinese accent) "Ohhh, you look maaaavhlus...how you, Mistah Crystal...ah so, you look mahvelus...ah...better to look good than, uh...I still workin' on it..." It's fun. A lot better than what I used to get when I was doing "Soap"...(in New York blue collar voice) "HEY! FAGGOT!" Like I said, its all good..."
Just running this up the ol’ flagpole, see if any studio salutes
From Netflix, 2026! Snow White and the Seven Little People
A princess joins forces with seven little people and a group of rebels to resist and liberate her kingdom from her cruel stepmother the Evil Queen, played by a Melania Trump look-alike.
With Samuel L. Jackson as the princess, “I’ve had it with these mother****ing dwarves in this mother****ing cottage!”
James Woods as Prince Charming.
Maybe Paul Newman's song can be the theme song: Short People.
Ha ha ha! When I was a kid, that instrument certainly would have been classified as “a bully magnet”! (Here’s hoping that the instrument case didn’t have a generally phallic shape!)
Randy Newman. Paul sold salad dressing and voiced an old car in a Disney animated movie.
"Cause that's the way he wants it."
From the way I understand it, the way we regard a well placed candle-lit table in a good restaurant as a romantic setting male homosexuals have the majority of their trysts in public men's room stalls: hence the toilets.
