Sounds like a liberal wet dream


Sounds like one of the worst movies of the year.

Well it already pissed off one demographic.

Just making sure I understand correctly:

Straight actors should not be cast as LGBTQ+ characters, LGBTQ+ actors should not be prohibited from playing straight characters.

Okay, got it.

P.S. But they didn’t say anything about the ott redneck, monster-truck-watching portrayal of the conservative Townies.

Yeah and from that bullshit article it seems that “demographic” is a few reviewers who appear to be outraged on behalf of the gay community. I notice they didn’t list one gay person or representative from any gay group who is “pissed off” with something so trivial.

Let me assure you gay people are not the perpetually offended wilting flowers you make them out to be. Most couldn’t give a shit about one performance that might be stereotypical, over the top, or performed by a straight guy. That would be as ridiculous as you being offended by Neil Patrick Harris playing a horny straight man on that shit sitcom. Why would you care at all? You don’t, right? Same for us.

It skewers liberals pretty well.
