Does ‘When We Rise’s’ Failure Signal End to the Culture’s Long ‘Gay Moment?’
Newsbusters ^ | March 6, 2017 | Matt Philbin

Posted on 03/06/2017 8:07:08 AM PST by kevcol

“USA [Network’s] gay-murder mystery Eyewitness was canceled, and CBS’s Doubt—the first network television show to feature a trans actress (Laverne Cox) as a trans in a lead role—was dropped after just two shows.

But the far more visible failure is ABC’s over-hyped gay agenda mini-series When We Rise, which crashed like a cheap Pride Parade float last week.

Not likely to be successful when you violate both Darwinian and Divine law.

When We Rise isn’t working... does that mean they can’t get it up and running? They’re impotent to get things going?

ABC ran commercials constantly on this since January. Glad it failed

“When We Rise ?” No. More like, “When We Descend Into Hell.” Moral turpitude and sexual depravity does not aspire. Just more word games and cognitive dissonance from the Satanic left: Up is down, down is up. Wrong is right, right is wrong.

My tv view rules, “if gay character in first segment, turn off and never turn on” Empire, turned off and never looked back. It just shows a weak writing ability and I want a story not a lecture.
Major Crimes is a good story but that weak kneed gay kid who is every where is horrible. First the idea of an adopted gay kid running around the LAPD in a major crime unit is stupid. He is the gay crutch.
I don’t watch HGTV as every couple is gay looking for a home. No they are not. Stop it already.

Liberals care more about depravity than money. gAyBC has trashed and sacrificed many shows by turning them into homo-promos, but they persist. They have been given up to depravity.

It does suggest they are a much smaller percentage of the population than they think they are.

Gonna play Devil’s advocate here, likely to my detriment:

The wife was watching the Eyewitness show, but toward the end, even she, who is generally blind to the politics of entertainment, said that the show was really poorly written and left little for entertainment value.

It seems most of these shows died unceremoniously due to abhorrent writing and literally focusing on the “gayness” of the show over any other substance. That’s all they had going for them. If you’re going to focus on style over substance, you’re going to lose 100% of the time.

We watch HGTV but whenever we see an episode where "John and his partner Frank are looking for a home in....." we switch to something else.

That's some great writing right there! Love it!

fetish propaganda should have an automatic R if not NC-17.

beauty and the beast is not a movie for children because of this.

Nope. It’s just another example that the message can’t come first. You need characters, and a story, those bring you an audience.

Stopped watching Supergirl because I got tired of finding out how gay Supergirl’s sister was. Loved the first season, which was just a lot of fun.

Season two had to spend episode after episode on the lesbian relationship which was nowhere in the comic books. Turned it off. That’s NOT why I watched the show to begin with. If they had maybe kept it to one episode I might have kept watching but it clearly became an obsession.

My personal opinion is that everyone involved in creating this needs to go to prison. Promoting Homosexuality ought to be a criminal offense. It used to be a criminal offense, and we should return to the position that it is.

Homosexuals are mentally ill people, and promoting this form of insanity as a positive good is detrimental to all of society.

These shows fail because they get preachy.

RuPaul’s Drag Race is doing pretty well. It sticks to what works: Blatant stereotypes and outrageous behavior. The WWE in drag.

Another Greg Berlanti piece of garbage on tv. Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tommorrow (or something like that.)

Garbage, Every show he is involved with is pure garbage.
