At first glance, When We Rise looks like a hugely promising gambit. The great Gus Van Sant...reteams with Oscar-winning Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black for the story of how the LGBTQ (and, eventually, the LGBTQIA) community came to prominence in America...It’s a major event series on a network not known for ambition or audacity, and has the chance to be seen even by those who just have basic cable. This could be big.
The first trailer for the series, however, amps up the sentimentality of the fight... take a look at the trailer below and you might notice that the background music is a cover of Leonard Cohen‘s immortal “Hallelujah..."

Only think I watch on ABC is college football on Saturdays.
It sounds like a porno.
ABC is imploding.
LOL probably
Thanks for the warning.
"The great" who?!?
I have never heard of this person.
I almost never watch anything on ABC. I’m not saying never, but only because I’m trying to be perfectly truthful.

Must miss TV!
It would be funny if some muslim called in and complained about how the show offended him and how he wants to throw from the rooftops/behead all the queers actors in the show.

Bring on the discussion. I’m not skeered. God is not skeered so why should I be.
The question should always be foremost in discussion: WHY DOES STUFF LIKE THIS ALWAYS END IN FRUSTRATION? Which it invariably does. No amount of this sort of debauchery is sufficient.
Will they showcase the bath houses, highway rest stops, and AIDS morgues?
Perhaps we need a program to get these victims of child sex abuse the help they need?
Their approach seems to promote child sex abuse, especially by ignoring the pedophilia found on Twitter.
I just tried, I really tried, to read this article. It is almost too awful for words. It is comprised almost entirely of an incomprehensible mixture of seemingly random words.
It is a prime example of “word salad”.
The writer should be strongly urged to find another line of work.
Muslim is a weird nemesis for this stuff... and actually Muslims have sharia-approved ways of doing homosexuality if it’s called the right thing and done under the right circumstances.
My decision not to have t.v. service in my home continues to be vindicated.
Ack! Brain bleach! Brain Bleach! Stat!
