Two months and two billion box office dollars later, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has reaped huge returns for Disney with its most progressive episode yet. Now that Daisy Ridleys Rey and John Boyegas Finn have given the Star Wars franchise its first female Jedi and black lead, respectively, does its fearless director J.J. Abrams see a future for a gay character in the galaxy?
Of course! Abrams said Thursday night at his Bad Robot HQ, where he hosted the US-Ireland Alliances annual Oscar Wilde Awards ahead of Sundays Oscars, where The Force Awakens is nominated in five categories. When I talk about inclusivity its not excluding gay characters. Its about inclusivity. So of course.

Same here; I’ve seen them all in the theater. But if they bring the homo story line I’m done.
Brokeback Death Star.
Everything has its time ... beginning and ending.
A self-styled "Gay PC Terrorist", David Ehrenstein (who gave Obama the moniker, "The Magic Negro", when he wrote a 2007 L.A. Times article about Obama), had previously written a book about the "Velvet Underground", Hollywood homosexuals and their progress in the 1950's to 1970's. He claimed that Disney's animation shop was a closed gay shop as far back as the 1930's, when Disney was producing the first of its feature-length classics. Disney's studio was corrupt at the core even then; the $64 question was whether Walt knew about it.
I love Nintendo, but the cave has started. You can gay marry in the new Fire Emblem, and they were upset that people were upset with no homo marriage in Tomodachi Life so have promised homo marriage in future installments.
It hasn't gotten good reviews on Amazon. Almost all of the complaints have been about how poorly-written it is. And how the author Chuck Wendig inserted way too many Earth references and idioms.
Wendig though has not accepted that and has opted to accuse his detractors of hatred and homophobia.
From his blog a few months ago:
And if youre upset because I put gay characters and a gay protagonist in the book, I got nothing for you. Sorry, you squawking saurian meteors coming. And its a fabulously gay Nyan Cat meteor with a rainbow trailing behind it and your mode of thought will be extinct. Youre not the Rebel Alliance. Youre not the good guys. Youre the fucking Empire, man. Youre the shitty, oppressive, totalitarian Empire. If you can imagine a world where Luke Skywalker would be irritated that there were gay people around him, you completely missed the point of Star Wars. Its like trying to picture Jesus kicking lepers in the throat instead of curing them. Stop being the Empire. Join the Rebel Alliance. We have love and inclusion and great music and cute droids.BTW, I've read the book. It was the worst Star Wars novel I've ever read, even ignoring the gayness.
In the GTA games I’ve played, gays are not portrayed in a manner gay activists would like. See: the mission in SA where you go and kill a guy because he had a prison hookup with your friend and blabbed about it.
I’ve watched this decision absolutely kill some successful book series. The number of people who will voluntarily consume such pandering is small.
Yes, on some sets they post homobullies to proctor the script to see if there's enough discussion (favorable, of course) or portrayal of overt homosexuality, and script treatments are called for if the homograde is "poor" or "fail".
I've noticed that in a few films, and yes, it's grotesque. It'll be noticed in centuries to come.
Damn. I’m starting to be THANKFUL this guy jumped ship from Star Trek to Star Wars. I look forward to the gay mafia screeching in anger when there are STILL no homos in this summer’s new Star Trek film.
There’s a military writer named Karen Traviss who wrote Republic Commandos books and ended up in a huge flame war with some Star Wars readers for reasons I forget. Anyway, after I stopped reading, she gave one of the (male) Commandos a husband.
It’s a cinch that the new Trek show will have a gay. The SJWs demand it and the show is being overseen by gay Bryan Fuller. Sorry, but I see it as inevitable.
So, G-d didn’t mean it that homosexuality is an abomination,
The homosexual cabal, led by Judson Marmor and Robert Spitzer, among others, rolled the American Psychiatric Association, keepers of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, in 1972. There was a professional debate with people who knew what they were talking about, but the debate (about taking homosexuality out of the DSM) was actually carried by cabalistic politicking. It was literally a conspiracy against the truth, and against their colleagues.
Judson and Marmor got the second APA, the American Psychological Assn'., to establish Division 44, to be a Gay Gestapo over political and "scientific" correctness on all discussions and professional work on e.g. the etiology of homosexuality -- but it had been removed from the DSM list of paraphilias kept by the other APA, so no paper on homosexuality as a disorder will any longer appear under the aegis of either APA; in fact, some people have lost their professional credentials. (Gay Nazis always go after people's profession, job, or bank balance.)
Division 44 rules, like Hitler's SS-Ahnenerben, over all questions of origins and truth. The Official Truth is known. Dissent at your peril.
Will they want penises on their wedding cakes?
Excuse me? Seminar poster?
This can't be a coincidence.
Are the greatest movie franchises in history falling to the Gay Gestapo?
It's like the Boy Scouts. Total disaster. [On the other side of the scales, the Catholic Church knocked the Girl Scouts USA today for their friendliness to "Lebesianism" </off Texas>. Did it just as GSUSA was beginning their big annual cookie drive.
I take it the author is homosexual. I didn’t realize homosexuals think about sex every existing moment...until 60 or so.
Star Wars has been gay since the Ewoks.
