Amazon’s Cancelled ‘A League of Their Own’ Co-Creator Plays Victim: ‘All Queer People Are Personally and Politically under Attack across the Country
Breitbart ^ | August 24, 2023 | David Ng

One of the creators of Amazon’s A League of Their Own has attempted to blame the show’s premature demise on what he believes to be the political persecution of gays, arguing that the cancellation after just one season is the latest indignity to befall “queer” people in this country.

In a shocking admission, he said that he and others were pressured to make the show less gay, at least during its first season, in order to attract more viewers — a piece of advice he said he proudly ignored.

Will Graham — who publicly identifies as “queer” and “non-binary,” and uses “he/they” pronouns — made his grandiose pronouncements Wednesday in a lengthy series of posts on X, or Twitter.

When all queer people are personally and politically under attack across the country and HRC has declared a ‘state of emergency,’ my biggest fear is that the many queer fans of League will take this reversal as one more invalidation, one more blow, one more…effect of the general politicization of our identities,” he wrote.

Graham was referring the Human Rights Campaign — a leftwing gay and transgender activist group that routinely coerces corporations into endorsing its agenda. In June, the HRC hysterically declared a “national state of emergency” over the growing number of state laws protecting children from sex-change operations and other irreversible transgender procedures.

In his posts, Graham claimed that during production, he and others were pressured to make the show less gay.

“We got so many notes wondering if the exploration of the queer world of the 1940s or Max’s world would be better saved for season 2, if people needed to start somewhere a little more familiar. I’m so glad we didn’t listen, cause now I’m sitting here without any regrets.”

I saw the movie and it was a cute story. I'm sure his show flopped because it was crap and no one was buying it. So he cries homophobia.

This probably isn’t the movie from 30 years ago.

What it is, though, who knows?

‘A League of Their Own’ is a really great movie - family friendly, HISTORICAL. And we can’t have THAT now, can we? I watched it with my teen boys at the time and they liked it, too.

I mean, come on! Tom Hanks? “There’s no CRYING in Baseball!”

Freak flag fliers ruin everything. :(

Homosexuality is a mental illness. You don’t celebrate mental illness.

We’ve gone from “we just want to be treated like everyone else” to “even when we fail you have to pretend we succeeded or we’ll cry about it and call it a hate crime”.

And there was even representation for the perverts in that movie... they got dyke Rosie and bi Madonna. But those were the days when perverts had the good sense to be a bit subtle when they got a role in a family movie.

Hey Will Graham, there's a closet waiting for you. Get in it.

Exactly. And neither Rosie or Madonna could ‘act’ their way out of a wet paper bag, but the characters were good.

It was a slice of History, well portrayed. If you have that, you’re Golden, IMHO.

Oh Please, there is no minority more OVERREPRESENTED in the media today than the homsexuals... they are about 1% of the population but are easily 10-20% of the characters on TV.

I don’t have a TV, but every ad I see from the car companies on Youtube has racial minority couples, or coal burners and their black boyfriends.

It must suck for them to only be able to reproduce their kind by grooming children.
