Does ‘When We Rise’s’ Failure Signal End to the Culture’s Long ‘Gay Moment?’

“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.

“My household has the same, “You have one chance and one chance only to NOT trot out some homo/lesbo/trans crap. Period”
Same here. We have tried to watch Sunday Morning, mostly the wife likes it. I started pointing out, wait for it, here comes the gay segment. Now she says the same thing. Every week, they must run a gay interest segment.
It’s so obvious they are promoting an agenda.
Then there is the ugly split chinned hateful gal. Unwatchable hag.
Yea, I’m not much for that show......

In the books Bosch got some sort of settlement that allowed him to live anyway he wanted so he had that house. He actually drove a Mercedes in one of the books. His money allowed him to do his job the way he wanted to.

"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. Heat Street said the series, created by Dustin Lance Black, “flopped on Monday,” lost “almost one million viewers from on Tuesday and drew a “pathetic” “audience of only 2.05 million on Wednesday.”"

Hmmm...On Tuesday AWR was not on so how could they have lost ratings that night? President Trump gave his speech to Congress that night.

I'm just curious if more people watched the speech that one night than viewed AWR for the four days it was on.

"We recorded the remake of Tme after Time on ABC. There was a gay character in the first few minutes and an obvious feminist. We turned it off."

I also recorded that show. Wasn't aware there was a gay character there because I was listening to it instead of watching. Thanks for the heads up.

As I was listening to the show, I recognized a familiar friendly voice. It was President Trump in a news report scene. I won't be deleting this episode because our President was in it :)

I agree. And once again, it was the ever illustratious federal judges (striking down Texas anti sodomy law) that opened the floodgates for all this mess. The pronouncements of one or a few “men in black” were able to overturn centuries of agreed upon acceptable and not acceptable morality, and literally turn our culture upside down.

Awful.

I had been looking forward to watching the Brad Pitt film “Allied”, since I like W.W. II stuff. Pretty good thriller.
Now as we have been talking about on this thread the insertion of gay characters into about anything, here in Allied it was no exception.

Pitt’s character works for the SOE and is a spy, seems his sister also works for the SOE somehow and she is an open Lesbian with a girlfriend.

Somehow I just don’t think that would be the case here and I doubt the SOE would have allowed anyone working for them in that era to be an openly Lesbian with a live in girl friend.

It seems they are having revisionist tolerance here. And this subplot has nothing to do with the main plot of this picture.
