Triumph of the Will & Grace
Steyn Online ^ | 3 Sep 2019 | Mark Steyn

...

~"Will & Grace" was a hugely successful sitcom around the turn of the century, and apparently is still around today, although much diminished: its recent run on NBC attracted lower ratings than, say, a certain Canadian guest-host's brief reign as last month's King of Cable. Nevertheless, one must respect a hit, which the weekly capers of a gay lawyer and his non-gay interior-designer lady friend, undoubtedly were.

These days, alas, "Will & Grace" is all will and little grace, both of its stars leading the way in Hollywood's ever more naked enforcement of what is, if not yet a one-party state, certainly a one-party culture. The other day both of its eponymous stars, Eric McCormack and Debra Messing, demanded that The Hollywood Reporter release the names of all those attending a Beverly Hills fundraiser for Trump so that, in McCormack's words, "the rest of us can be clear about who we don't wanna work with". Hollywood stars have principles, you know: it's one thing to work with known sex predators, but quite another to work with a fellow who votes for the other party in a two-party system.

After announcing their plans for a new blacklist, Debra Messing (whom I enjoyed in the flop show "Smash") went further and agreed with an Alabama pastor that black Trump supporters are mentally ill. Personally, I am reluctant to pronounce on mental-health issues in a world where The New York Times will report straight-faced the claims of distinguished scientists to have "ridden on the back of an invisible bear conjured by an osha root" and American Airlines will let you board with a horse as your emotional support animal. By contrast, Miss Messing has no qualms about a wealthy white woman rebuking blacks for declining to vote as she instructs...

Didn’t like the original. Refuse to watch one second of the new one. My thumb automatically hits the remote button whenever I see her on any show.

Gays are winning the culture wars because people let their kids watch that damned show in the 90’s.

Leni Riefenstahl would get it. Probably so would Lenny Bruce.

That is more true than most people realize.

Agreed.

Winking at the evil of homosexuality, allowing it to “entertain” us, bore its fruit.

And I didn’t let my kids watch that or many other shows - nor did I watch them.

The internet porn revolution is also wreaking havoc

“Since it was outed as queer propaganda I never watched an episode.”

It’s a show about a gay dude - Will, and his friend, Grace. How many episodes did it take you to figure out?

None, I heard when the series was about to start that it was what it was. So I never watched it nor do I watch the reruns.

I love I adore I worship I lust for I protect I provide for

WOMEN

but homosexuality’s rise is on you guys

Most women don’t perceive the depravity of male homosexuality like straight men too

They purge the optics from their minds

Homosexual men are harmless and creative

Not ass breath vindicative neurotics

Not to most women

Nope they love them

You get a man who loves fashion too and decorating but doesn’t want to F you

Women don’t realize viscerally homosexual men resent them
