How far will Hollywood "progressives" go to advance their agenda of celebrating all things LGBT?
Evidently, as far as taking a real historical figure and making him homosexual – with zero evidence – as a tool to inject "queer" history into the storyline.
Tony Phelan and Joan Rater are the husband-and-wife creators of the popular historical mini-series "A Small Light," about Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who famously helped hide Anne Frank's family and other Jews from Nazi occupiers carrying out Hitler's "Final Solution" in World War 2-era Amsterdam.
The Hollywood couple takes "artistic license" to a whole new dimension by turning Gies' adoptive older brother, identified as Casmir ("Cas") Nieuwenburg, into a homosexual so they could highlight a Dutch gay man's role in the country's anti-Hitler resistance. Phelan then expanded on the deception in an interview by rationalizing that since Miep Gies had five adoptive siblings, "statistically, one of them had to be gay" – an assertion that is both historically and statistically reckless.
"If you're familiar with Anne Frank's story but never knew about Miep Gies' gay brother, it's because this aspect of the story is entirely fictional," states an analysis of the historical (in)accuracy of "A Small Light" on the "History vs. Hollywood" website.

I have heard Leftists claim that Christ was homosexual.
If they make those assertions, they will go anywhere.
I am an amateur historian, and I do enjoy “historical fiction”, that is, a story line within the framework of historic event. (I particularly enjoyed “Turn”, based loosely on George Washington’s spy network)
Some years ago, my wife gave me a stocking stuffer of the History Channel series “Sons of Liberty”. I was enthusiastic, thinking it was...well, history!
I began watching it, and got 15 minutes in and just couldn’t watch it. It was so off the mark on nearly everything and bore almost no resemblance to actual history. I was so disgusted I threw it in a drawer and never watched any more of it.
I would use it as an example of just awful historic accuracy from...The History Channel. (I don’t watch television and don’t have cable, so I had no idea what kind of things The History Channel puts out!)
Well, I picked it back up a few weeks ago out of boredom, and before I watched, I went online to read some analysis, and it was uniformly panned. Then I read an interview with one of the producers, and they said it wasn’t meant to be historically accurate, but to be...entertainment.
So I watched it, and in a production that was so wildly and intentionally inaccurate, where Samuel Adams was a 20 something year old with a goatee, and a badass with weapons, well, I kind of enjoyed it once I let it go completely!
It was so stupid, but...it wasn’t history, and I had to convince myself to suspend belief, as if I were watching some stupid vampire movie!
Just you wait, Hollyweird will turn Indy gay too.
Because homos..why?
The only folks put in camps faster than Jews were the gays. They got “pink” triangles.
Statistically?
Ridiculous for that alone.
Now, maybe if you have 50 people featured in your film, you can make 1 of THAT whole group a homo.
1 out of 7 doesn’t fly.
Yes, it’s horrible that somebody has to be gay in every movie coming out of Hollywood. It’s sort of the flip side of the “Everybody I hate is gay” stuff online, though.
You learn something new everyday.
Good Lord.About Picard’s Star Trek series I watched a couple seasons when it was free on Amazon Prime, finally gave up after the whole Dax storyline and changing genders.
But...but...but...he HAS to be gay! How else can we ram the gay agenda down people’s throats?
Unless it’s if you’re talking about the murder of Seth Rich. Then DemoRat judges allow injunctions and gag orders.
I too gave up watching the Picard Star Trek series because of the Dax sex reboot storyline. It’s not sci fi or explore new worlds concept.
