Well Golly Gee. Do you think maybe the viewing public is just getting tired of that crap? After being inundated the last 10 12. 15 years?

12.8 percent is nearly 3 times the estimated population on LGBTQXYZ in the country.

“Record low?” Well that would be zero since queers were not depicted in movies or on TV at all until relatively recently. But Leftists and the truth are not well acquainted, so I supposed saying “record low” with some percentage is perfectly normal in their warped world.

They’ve been trying to sneak in these freaks, and present them as normal, for over a decade now.

Whenever I watch a show with these oddballs be presented as normal, it goes off. I have a feeling that much of America does the same. They can only afford to lose so much money on their perverted social crusade.

The bottom line IS the bottom line. As long as we keep turning it off, they will be forced to not present it.

It must be all about perspective, because I feel like I can’t turn on TV/see a movie/read a book that DOESN’T have a gay character.

My husband and I were really enjoying the show Ozark on Netflix until - boom! - graphic gay scene. Turned it off and refuse to watch more. Same with another show whose name escapes me at the moment.

Meanwhile virtually every TV sitcom embraces LGBT characters in some form or other.

Back in 1968, it was my habit to go downtown to the Loop, in Chicago and binge watch all the newly released movies on a Saturday. You could see 5 or 6 movies, within steps of each other, and still be home by 10 PM.

There was a movie with George Peppard and Raymond Burr called "PJ", where Peppard plays a detective named PJ Detwiler. There was a sequence where he is following a suspect and tails him into a gay leather bar, and vividly gets beaten bloody for being straight, and trespassing.

Oddly enough, when I saw the movie on TV, years later, the whole sequence had vanished... I suppose it didn't reflect well on the Sexual Revolution, even then.

Ok alphabet people, here’s the deal: we don’t want to see you, hear, from you, be around you, or watch you prance around in a movie or show. Is that clear?

Easily made up for by the exploding number of LMNOP characters on every television show and cable series.

Every time I turn on the tv, they’re all over it.

Why the barf alert?

This is good new and simply shows the business end of Hollywood is alive and well. If movies cast with lgbt actors made money, which they would if people wanted to watch them,then the numbers would increase and not decrease as this article claims is happening.

Only 12.8 percent of studio films contained characters who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer

Meaning the percentage was closer to 20% from 2012-2016... rather surprising hyper-representation for a group that comprises only 3% of the population (recently claimed to be ~5%, but that's mostly from kids being taught to glorify any same-sex activity, and thus claiming LGBT status so that they can enjoy the parades and the Virtue Signaling).

Fox was dinged for a portrayal of platonic female friendship in Amy Schumer’s “Snatched.”

I wonder if it ever occurred to the author of this piece that women might not be receptive to a message that they cannot befriend another woman unless it is in the context of a perverted sexual relationship?

Our local movie theater has reduced the prices of movies to less than $5 for a matinée. That suggests to me that movies are not as popular these days. Maybe people are tired of having leftist propaganda shoved down their throats in the guise of entertainment.

Although the movie Avengers seems to say that radical environmentalists can turn into mass murdering lunatics, with the Thanoss character. And that’s probably an accurate message.

People aren’t watching that crap. I turn it off if I see it on TV. Like the NFL, Hollywood will only learn by a loss of revenue.

The addition of homos to movies has been going on for over 45-50 years as I remember “Sissies”, as a critic called them, added for comic relief.

POINT BLANK (two in an apartment)
The FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS. (vampire’s son)
Barbarella (voice only)
THE AMBUSHERS (the hairdresser)
THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN (two gay inmates and a sadistic prison guard)
SHARK’S TREASURE(Prison escapee and lover)

It’s called “Enlightened Self Interest.” Any questions?

They added one to Deadpool2 which added nothing to the story.
I was shocked how much I liked DP1 and how much they broke DP2 with non-stop CGI nonsense.

Hollywood ain’t “straight”, but the viewing audience (customer base) IS. How many straights would pay money to watch a gay-themed flick??

The moron postulating this problem ought to examine the audience response success rate of “gay” flicks that have been previously released.
