Actor Dean Cain, who played Superman in the TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has been busy promoting his new movie Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer. Cain plays the detective who put abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell behind bars.
The movie has run into a variety of difficulties with funding and support due to the conflict between the film's an anti-abortion message and the hostile leftist views of the Hollywood world.
Dean Cain, however, is just an actor in the movie, not a representative of any socio-political message that the film may be interpreted to signify. Cain's personal views are wholly irrelevant to being an actor and playing a role in a cinema. Nevertheless, he has been attacked for the message of the script and for promoting the movie, even though movie promotion is a staple in Hollywood, something that all actors do when their film is approaching the release date.
Most recently, Cain has been attacked for discussing his movie with an organization that lobbies for strict Christian values.
Cain spoke at the Family Research Council’s Value Voters Summit about the movie, a PR appearance to entice potential viewers. GLAAD and other gay rights activist groups pummeled on Cain for the appearance, accusing him of hatred towards the gay community. What did his movie discourse have to do with gay rights? Nothing. And that is how Cain responded. "I’m not there to do anything other than discuss the film, Gosnell." And, Gosnell does not implicate any issue connected in any way with LGBTQ. So why the outrage? What does any of this have to do with gay issues?
The LGBTQ mob took it upon itself to interpolate their ideological grievances with the Christian lobby into Dean Cain's uncorrelated PR event. The LGBTQ mob transformed the movie promotion into a self-victimization demonstration. They made up claims about Dean Cain "bashing" gay people and making anti-LGBTQ "remarks." The accusations were completely false. Cain did nothing of the sort. He promoted a movie about a topic that had absolutely nothing to do with gay issues. He never said anything at all about the gay community. More interestingly, Cain supports all freedoms, including sexuality freedoms of LGBTQ. Cain is actually on their side. Simply, the forum where Cain spoke included Christians who disagreed with LGBTQ on various political issues.
Cain has spent the past few days responding to insults and outrageous comments on Twitter, trying to assuage the LGBTQ mob with reason and logic–attempting to show them that they are creating ideas and self-pity out of thin air, that he did not insult them, that in actuality, he is a supporter of gay rights. He called them out for irrationally lashing out at someone just speaking to people who hold opposing political views, on a topic not even related to those views. Mobs, however, do not exhibit active listening skills, and so Cain's attempts have fallen on deaf ears.
"It was very interesting to see the Twitter mob start making baseless accusations, and see the story reprinted over and over again in different digital publications as though it was fact," Cain stated. The accusations are completely false, he stressed. "It was guilt by association, guilt without evidence, and guilt without due process–a story becoming too familiar these days."
Dean Cain differs from the average Hollywood actor. He believes in freedom, not thought control. He is on the NRA Board of Directors because of his strong stance on Second Amendment rights. He is pro-choice but believes that late-term abortion is wrong. Cain supports Republican Senate candidate John James. He is a Christian who prays. He is a sworn police reservist. And he supports gay rights. Cain is a true independent.
"Pro-choice, pro-life, anti-religious folks, super religious folks, anti-Hollywood folks, folks who just don’t like me, anti-FRC folks, supporters of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and LGTB activists. I was attacked by individuals from all of [these] groups–for attending the summit, for being pro-choice, for making the movie Gosnell, and even for supporting gay rights," Cain revealed. This is why he criticized his attackers as "intolerant," he explained. Cain was referring to all of them. He was calling out the mob for their utter inability to stomach his involvement with people who had opposing political views, an all-too-common story these days which has resulted in a division of our country and of our personal friendships. A disappointing reality for Cain and for all of us who remain open to discourse and friendships with those of opposing viewpoints.
Gosnell opens in theaters on October 12 and is sure to be an interesting and thought-provoking experience.
Well, they can’t beat you on merits and principles. Subterfuge and brute force is their only chance.
Can anyone name what policy the Left is for?
Their platform is exclusively the promotion of racism, gender issues, socialism, and full on Communism. Oh yes, and throw on a good helping of pacifism and terrorism enablement.
“trying to assuage the LGBTQ mob with reason and logic”
HA! can you stop a rabid pack of hyenas attacking a rabbit? Same thing. The rabid pack of individuals who are proud of themselves for not practicing reproduction the natural way, is lower than a pack of hyenas, and has less intelligence.
All they can do is destroy. They serve no valid purpose on this planet.
If you believe a stance on a single issue makes up someone’s entire political identity, then I guess you’re right.
Didn't know this about Cain. Now I know why he gets very little work in Hollywood.
So even conservative actors deserve to get mobbed by packs of insane liberal freaks?
As a side note, he had a potential career in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills but it ended due to a knee injury the first season.......He was a free safety and played for Princeton.
bkmk
What vested interest could gays possibly have in pregancies?
I don’t accept OR reject them. I would never even think about them, except that the creepers are in everyone’s faces all the time.
True.
And why it it that Lesbians get double billing.
LGBT
Lesbians
Gays (which includes Lesbians)
Bisexuals
Transexuals
So is Milo and everyone else who doesn't agree with you 100%........Yes, by YOUR purist standards I am a liberal......LOL!
I remember when the Bills drafted him. He is actually quite a big guy. I think he can handle himself.
Gays hate pregnancy because it is the exemplification of heterosexuality.
Agree, straddling the fence gets no respect from either side.
Wow, Dean could have hidden behind the pr firm, but did the pushback himself.
I like Cain. I am not liberal, but Cain is conflicted. Gosnell is a monster and all abortion is monsterous.
Thing is, a person who is unable to pick a side will never be respected by either side.
Zero sum game.
Pretty bad when ‘Superman’ gets his @$$ kicked by a mob of queers!
I mean come on, you could see if it was ‘Batman’, everyone knows he was queer for ‘Robin’, but Superman?
Yeah, that info makes me like him even more. If it’s smart Hollywood will pay attention.
Just look at the box office sales for the Passion by Mel Gibson.
The LBGTQ or whatever crowd is incredibly stupid.
