GLAAD’s “Where We Are on TV” report for a third consecutive year forecasts an all-time high in the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and queer (LGBTQ) characters on TV, while also noting that both greater racial diversity and gender parity has been achieved among those roles.
Broadcast TV’s representation of LGBTQ characters in the 2018-19 TV season is forecast to be 8.8 percent (or 75 out of 859 series regular roles), up nearly one-third from 2017-18 to mark an all-time high. (Broadcast TV also will have 38 recurring LGBTQ characters, up from last season’s 28.) The CW ranks highest with 16 percent, followed by Fox (11), NBC (7.7), ABC (5.8) and CBS (3.4, and the only broadcaster to decrease year over year). Cable TV went from 103 to 120 series-regular LGBTQ characters, plus an additional 88 recurring; FX, whose Pose accounts for more than half of the trans representation on cable, leads with 23 characters, while Freeform, Showtime and TNT each tally 21. Streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu add 75 regulars plus 37 recurring, surging 60 percent year-over-year.

They don’t admit million and millions of people have stopped watching American TV because of its filth, sexual immorality, violence and overall poor quality.
However, the corrupt deep state media struck back when Warner Brothers acquired Asian streamer DramaFever and then shut it down, cutting off access to Asian dramas and TV shows (all subtitled). There were 20 million subscribers to that service, so that shows you how many people have shut off the American boob tube.
There is still Viki.com, and also the Korean broadcaster, KBS, hosts a lot of dramas on YouTube.
We’re watching less and less tv because of all the gays. Mr. b usually sticks to old black and white shows.
Who are these people kidding. These shows are all fake narratives, literally.
Besides, if this alphabet stew “representation” were normal, natural, and true, it wouldn’t be called programming.
I only have cable because the cost of internet service alone was more expensive. Meaning they offer a ‘discount’ to entice customers to let raw sewage pour in.
I turned on the cable once, to watch CSPAN for the inauguration and related festivities.
TV has become a vast wasteland of sexual deviants diddling one another.
Fairies and Communists
Pocket (Books) My Saber Is Bent, Chapter 14 | December 1961 | Jack Parr
There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it’s fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker’s dozen swishing around. I had a little game I used to play when I was an actor in Hollywood, back in the days when Communists or Communist sympathizers were nearly as plentiful in the film capital as yes-men. If I spotted someone in a picture who was a Communist or leftist, I could usually pick out several others. They always came in sets. Now I play it a different way. When I hear that some fairy is producing or directing or acting in a play, I can often name some of the rest of the cast, even if I’ve never heard it. But Communists and fairies do differ in some respects. The Hollywood Communists had their “Unfriendly Ten,” who refused to testify before a Congressional Committee, but the fairies are overfriendly. They do say no occasionally. “When a fairy says no,” Alex King has observed, “he almost throws his back out of joint.” The poor darlings, as they sometimes call themselves, are everywhere in show business. The theater is infested with them and it’s beginning to show the effects. “The New York theater is dying,” the late Ernie Kovacs complained recently, “Killed by limp wrists.”
The dance is a mecca for the gamboling third sex, which prompted Oscar Levant to observe that “ballet is the fairies’ baseball.” The movies have long been a happy hunting ground for them, and now they’re starting to take over television. No TV variety show seems complete without a group of fairy dancers leaping about with balloons.
George Jean Nathan wrote long ago, “What we need is more actors like Jack Dempsey. Jack may not be much of an actor but his worst enemy cannot accuse him of belonging to the court of Titania.” Alas, things have been getting worse ever since.
The increasing emasculation of our stage seems to stem in part from the influence of actors from England, where homosexuality is rampant in the theater. Kenneth Tynan, the British critic, has acknowledged the growth there of the theatrical phenomenon known as “camp” whose distinguishing feature, he says, is a marked inclination toward the dainty, the coy and the exuberantly fussy. “High comedy in England is nowadays hostage in the camp of camp,” he lamented. “With each new season its voice gets shriller and its blood runs thinner.”
Formerly playwrights were writing plays about fairies and now they’re writing plays for them. There was a wonderful scene in Peter Pan when Mary Martin turned and asked the audience if they believed in fairies and they answered with an affirmative roar. I began to get worried when the cast started drowning out the audience.
A Not only have homosexuals taken over a leading role in the theater, but the theme of homosexuality is becoming increasingly prominent on the stage as witness Advise and Consent, Compulsion, The Best Man and Tea and Sympathy, some of which have been produced on both the stage and screen. Recently, not one but two versions of the life of Oscar Wilde were showing in New York.
A half century ago Wilde was jailed and disgraced in England for “The love that dared not speak its name,” yet today actors found guilty of the same offense become not only famous but honored. One of England’s most noted actors and a popular American male singer have both been convicted of homosexuality without it adversely affecting their public lives or careers.
I first noticed the widespread prevalence of homosexuality in Hollywood, which boasted a Fairyland long before it had a Disneyland. Fresh out of the Army, and rather naive, it became as quite a shock to discover that some of Hollywood’s biggest he-man stars were actually more interested in each other than in the glamorous actresses they made love to before the cameras. One virile looking Western star was such a gay Caballero that he had to be restrained from riding side saddle. Another gorgeous hunk of man, whom millions of girls sighed over, had his voice dubbed by another actor to disguise its girlish quality. Other male stars, known as AC-DC types, are ambidextrous and can’t decide what to do when confronted by “His” and “Hers” towels. In New York they are prominent in all of the arts. They cavort in ballet. They flutter on the Broadway stage. And they are everywhere in television. Wherever there is one you will find others. They are highly organized and indefatigable at assisting each other.
Jack paar Although fairies are usually cool toward women, for some reason they seem irresistibly attracted to comediennes. Perhaps being a comedienne is unnatural for a woman, like playing the bass fiddle or pole-vaulting, which may be the reason why they have such an attraction for the limp-wristed set. There always seems something terribly sad about many comediennes, for all their talent, as they are almost inevitably surrounded by these demimales. I once mentioned on such famous comedienne to a friend of mine. “She is terribly amusing,” the friend said. Then he added, wistfully: “Of course, she has no alternative.”
Once Wilson Mizner, the noted wit, was having lunch at a New York hotel with Marshall Neilan, the director. At an adjoining table were several fairies, giggling as gaily as four suburban housewives having butterscotch sundaes at Schraffts. Annoyed by the girlish carrying-on, Mizner began directing audible disparaging remarks at the group. The giggling died away and the group began to direct some cold glares at Mizner and Neilan. Still Mizner continued to aim his loud barbs until violence seemed imminent. Neilan suddenly became philosophical. “Wouldn’t it be strange,” he mused, “if on Judgment Day it turned out they were right?” I feel quite sure it won’t - but that’s their problem. I just wish they would leave show business alone, and stop leaping about with their balloons on television.
We occasionally have fashion shows on our program so I’ve had a chance to observe at firsthand the havoc that limp-wristed designers and hair dressers and make-up men have wrought upon once beautiful girls. When they finish accentuating the hollow cheeks, the pallor and the blue circles under the eyes, the models look less made-up than embalmed. One night a group of them trooped out modeling bathing suits and they were so skinny and unfeminine I thought it was the mile relay team from the YMCA. Gradually I’ve become so accustomed to seeing these bony, boyish figures that I was pleasantly surprised one night when one model appeared displaying a full-blown figure with ample curves. Later I commented backstage on how rare it was now to see a model with curves. Our wardrobe lady chuckled cynically. “When she took off that bathing suit and dropped it on the floor,” she said, “it bounced for five minutes.”
Another lovely girl who managed to escape the ministrations of the fairy Svengalis is the 1961 Miss Universe, Marlene Schmidt. She is a tall, ravishing blonde with a figure like God intended woman to have, without alterations by Slenderella or some delicate designer. I asked her measurements and she told me they were 95-45-95! This was in centimeters, it turned out, but even measured in inches her endowments were opulent. The reason she still possessed her naturally lovely figure and rosy-cheeked, healthy face, I discovered, was that she was a recent refuge from East Germany and our fairy fashion fraternity hadn’t gotten their clutches on her yet. Because of all this I’ve started my campaign to save our starving models by sending them CARE packages. For Christmas I plan to send my friends cards with notes saying that donations in their names have been made to Jinx Falkenburg.
I hope that all red-blooded men will rally to my crusade to have girls look like girls again. If we show our determination I’m sure that women will throw off the tyranny of fairy designers. They have nothing to lose but their falsies. Meantime, I must go now and give a blood transfusion to Suzy Parker
The Streets of San Francisco reboot has a black drag queen and a chicano illegal immigrant partnering up to clean the waste and debris left by junkies, dog walkers, and homeless vagrants while dodging projectiles thrown at ghem by antifa militants.
They (networks) don’t even give a flip that their viewership is down. As long as the homo agenda is being pushed, ratings be d@mned!!
So....how are they staying afloat, if ratings are down?
Agree, but DramaFever was the largest and oldest, and also had a number of dramas Viki does not carry.
The point is I think the American media conglomerates are trying to limit Americans’ access to wholesome alternatives. We have the same type of censorship that is going on in Mainland China, it is just more sophisticated here. E.g., if you wanted to make a “Waltons” type of show now, you wouldn’t be able to find anyone to air it on American TV. Under media requirements, you have to show you are promoting homosexuality, for example.
Questioning, persons who’ve read about it and are being groomed, solicited, indoctrinated, and recruited into the homosexual lifestyle. If that person decides that he or she is NOT gay/lez they will be pressured and told they are denying their sexual nature/reality.
You are not permitted to provide a heterosexual counter argument or advocacy to these people.
Wow. Very interesting!
Thanks for posting.
911 is a good example. It should be a firefighter centered show like the old Emergency. While they do have decent emergency based plot lines, the “relationship” ongoing story lines are:
The Chief (white male) is dating a police officer (black female). She is still living with her soon-to-be ex-husband (black male) who came out of the closet after 20 years of marriage. He is a reoccurring character as well.
One firefighter’s sister (white female) has moved to town, running from an abusive husband.
One firefighter (black female) is married to her “wife” (black female) and has two children via adoption whose birth mom is one of the firefighter’s ex-girlfriends (white female) who is also a drug addict.
One firefighter (white male) is living in an apartment owned by his girlfriend (race unknown) who is traveling (and screwing) her way across Europe.
One firefighter (Asian male) had a piece of rebar pierce through his skull. He survived, but has had issues since.
It seems that the people in the show that have to be rescued are idiots if they are white and male. People of color are never in trouble because of stupidity.
My wife, who really liked the show at first and has a pretty high tolerance for PC bullcrap has walked out during recent episodes.
Sad really. It could have been a good show.
No. You can’t be serious.
I wonder what Michael Douglas thinks of this.
As for Karl Malden, he must be grave-spinning.
Question 2: Who watches those shows?
Who cares?
Good read. Thanks!
A couple of years ago here in Pittsburgh we had a firefighter OD on heroin inside the fire station while on duty.
So those plotlines may be closer to reality than you think.
These poor souls will await Gods final judgement....without appeal...without hope.....destined for outer total darkness and the gnashing of teeth.
....eternally separated from the Father who loved him so much that He sent his ONLY Son to love and die for him...and his sins......
alone forever....
Desolate forever....
in fire forever....
hopelessness forever
...eternally.
GET THIS the HOLY SPIRITS TRUTH mortal man.....!!
Prayers for those who ....STILL HAVE TIME.....to repent of their sin...

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron
