In a letter sent by Netflix to leaders of a Straight Pride event, the internet giant said, “You should know that we’re unafraid of bullies. Our legal department is here, it’s queer, and it’s telling you to steer clear.”
Netflix, we hear you loud and clear! You are here and you are queer.
Apparently, the organizers of a Straight Pride parade in Boston had listed Netflix as a potential sponsor, even using the Netflix logo, something the clearly pro-LGBT company did not take lightly.
As reported by PinkNews, “Netflix sent a cease-and-desist order to Super Happy Fun America, the group organising the [Straight Pride] parade, which has several ties with far-right and white nationalist organisations.”
The Straight Pride organizers responded with a post titled, “Netflix Hates the Straight.” In it, they accused Netflix of being a “heterophobic company steeped in hatred and bigotry.”
They added, “Obviously, Netflix has no qualms about using their position of power to threaten marginalized groups who are exercising their 1st amendment rights. It appears that their legal department is staffed by gay supremacists who are so accustomed to privilege that our goal of equality for straights feels like oppression to them. In fact, it is Netflix that is acting like a bully. We have every right to inform the public about our attempts to gain sponsors for our parade and their hate will not stop us.”
Personally, I have no interest in the Straight Pride parade, and none of my pro-family colleagues are involved with it.
That being said, it is clear that Netflix is the bully here. And it is even clearer that Netflix is proudly queer.
As to Netflix saying “we’re unafraid of bullies,” that would be like the United States military saying to the army of Haiti (perhaps 200 strong?), “We’re not afraid of you! We’re not intimidated by bullies!”
Netflix has a reported annual income of more than $17 billion, whereas the Straight Pride budget can only be in the thousands (and I would imagine low thousands rather than high thousands). Yet the Straight Pride organizers, with their silly name (“Super Happy Fun America”) are the bullies. Right.
Of greater interest, though, is Netflix’s open, bold, even boastful statement that, “Our legal department is here, it’s queer, and it’s telling you to steer clear.”
Not that long ago, gay strategists suggested that, to turn the tide in America, it was important to distance themselves from the militant homosexual zappers who proclaimed, “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”
Representing the conclusions of other gay strategists, Marshall Hunt and Kirk Madsen wrote in their 1990 book After the Ball, “The gay revolution has failed.”
For them, the whole “in your face” approach had failed to change American hearts. Instead, those images needed to be replaced by a new image, one that “must, of necessity, be carefully tailored to be free of absolutely every element of the widely held stereotype of how ‘faggots’ look, dress, and sound.”
That was a long time ago.
Today, Netflix lawyers can boast about their queerness, and it’s totally part of the mainstream: “We are here and queer indeed!”
But it’s not just the Netflix legal team which is openly queer. The company as a whole has been blazing an openly queer path for years.
There is not only a plethora of gay-themed movies on Netflix, but a 2018 article pointed to “30 Netflix original shows with LGBT characters.”
Yes, “Netflix has quite the history with LGBT representation, with two of their earliest shows ('House of Cards' and 'Orange Is the New Black') featuring queer leads. The company hasn't shied away from these characters since, with LGBT characters appearing in the main casts of shows like 'Sense8' and 'One Day at a Time,' to name a few. Dramas, comedies, thrillers—whatever the genre, Netflix has featured an LGBT character in it.”
In keeping with this emphasis, now that The Designated Survivor is a Netflix production, it not only introduced the F- word to the show. But by the third episode, it focused on “transgender rights.”
And last year, Netflix released Super Drags, an “adult animated series” in which “three gay co-workers lead double lives as drag queen superheroes, saving the LGBTQ community from evil nemeses.” How delightful.
So Netflix, yes, we hear you loud and clear. You are here and you are queer. Quite so.
(Christian families looking for a very wholesome alternative might want to consider Pure Flix.)
Congratulations . . . bye . . . .
Right.
You’re here, you’re queer, and soon you’ll be broke.
Thanks, now go away.
Never got a round to Netflix. Never going to get around to Netflix. Hope their decision to break to the other side earns them their due.
Hey Netflix, you’re there and you’re queer, but you are outta here. (I dropped you last week and wish I had done it a long time ago.)
I watched designated survivor until season 3. it is pure garbage now.
as a result, I cancelled my netflix, as did my daughter and my son.
aint paying for that trash
good riddance, netflix
A new show on Netflix, Another Life, has a token tranny as the spaceship’s doctor (think McCoy). I suspect this is part of the trickle down direction, having Barry and Mooch on the board of directors.
I made it through one episode and the guy’s 5 o’clock shadow, with the feminine talk and dress, made me want to throw up. I just can’t watch it.
The Stranger Things season was good EXCEPT they made a villain a DJT look alike, and they slapped the audience with the shock revelation that the girl in a cute girl/ guy relationship, was actually a lesbian. It’s very disturbing because the left cannot control its arrogance.
You could claim the lesbian storyline was legit, but it wasn’t because it was forced in at the end.
The DJT villain look alike is just too insulting and ludicrous.
I’m glad that Netflix is “here and queer” because I’m NOT at Netflix and won’t be there.
Can’t wait till Disney launches its streaming service and buries Netflix.
Disney is even gayer than Netflix.
There’s no escape.
The Obamas sign a big deal with Netflix—and then this happened.
As Terence McKenna used to say: “If you think something is coincidence then you have a bad theory.” ;-)

Netflex interjects gays often unexpectedly and rarely have to do with the plot. It’s another tactic of social engineering.

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
Cancelled my membership yesterday. I will miss the IT Crowd but nothing else keeps me captive.
> There’s no escape.
There’s anime. Ever since I discovered it, I’ve watched more of it than I ever watched of movies or TV. It was a shock to find a whole media sector that didn’t constantly insult my intelligence.
I get it, Netflix.
You’re here, you’re queer, and I won’t be watching.
So it’s OK to use the term ‘Queer’ now. Got it. Just trying to keep up.
The absolute only reason we have Netflix still is so my daughter can watch her My Little Pony. Seeing that I now have all of them saved on a drive, I’m cutting the cord today to those degenerates.
Bye.
