The Media Research Center can walk and chew gum at the same time, it seems — even as it’s in full Trump defense mode on impeachment, it hasn’t forgotten about hating the LGBT community.
Gabriel Hays complained about the “new, inclusive future” of Marvel Comics with the planned introduction of a transgender superhero, grousing that “apparently trans representation is as much a priority as is portraying African American heroes and strong female characters.” He further complained that a brief same-sex kiss in the final “Star Wars” movie was “angering folks who didn’t want a PC lecture,” though failing to explain how a kiss equated to a “lecture.”
Hays returned to complain that Taylor Swift was receiving an award marking her commitment to LGBTQ issues, whining: “Taylor is less of a hero, and more so just another spoiled celebrity being paraded out by special interest groups in order to condescend to people who are reluctant to join progressive causes. She’s a leftwing android more or less. She promotes all the boilerplate gay lobby crap and bashes Donald Trump supporters as scary racists.”
So, is Hays a right-wing android, promoting boilerplate gay-hating crap? Pretty much, given that he went on to rant about the alleged “over-representation of LGBTQ folks in TV/film entertainment” and attacked Swift again as “just another one of the left’s anti-intellectual, propaganda mouthpieces that helps GLAAD bully people into submission.” As if Hays isn’t trying to bully LGBT advocates into shutting up.
Elise Ehrhard ranted about what she thinks the “LGBT agenda” is:
The LGBT agenda is not about “live and let live.” It is about delegitimizing “heteronormativity” and locking children into sexual “identities.” The days of a girl being free to go through tomboy phases or a boy simply liking pretty, “girly” things at some stage in his childhood is long gone. The LGBT movement insists on projecting their own arrested psycho-sexual development onto all children regardless of the realities of those children’s experiences.
Ehrhard also went on another hate-watching binge, declaring that one show “left me enraged.” But the MRC is paying her to hate-watch such shows, so her hateful rage is becoming quite lucrative.
Hays came back again to try and bully another LGBT person into shutting up:
Seemingly benign LGBTQ personality Jonathan Van Ness has devoted recent months to authoring children’s books with not-so-benign themes. The Queer Eye star is doing his part to introduce transgenderism and gender confusion to children with a picture book about a “nonbinary guinea pig.”
It’s about time that Van Ness sashayed away from the spotlight.
Lindsay Kornick grumbled that the “Batwoman” series — which she has previously attacked for making the titular superhero a lesbian — “goes the extra mile by ‘outing’ Batwoman as a lesbian in the universe of the show. Apparently, that’s the latest milestone for the LGBTQ community.” She then lectured: “After all, what does Batwoman being a lesbian have to do with her being a superhero? Being gay doesn’t make one any more noble or self-sacrificing, so it hardly constitutes mentioning in a show about being a hero. Sadly, representation and having a progressive image seems to be more important than saving lives in the world of Batwoman.”
Ehrhard returned to complain that a TV show about “rural Christian churchgoers” had a scene in which said churchgoers sang “Ave Maria” in a “gay drag bar,” leading her to ponder: “But why, exactly, must Christians openly celebrate drag culture in order to love gay or transgender individuals?” She then channeled Glenn Beck by huffing that the scene was “just another example of how far the Overton window has been pushed in American living rooms.”
Alexa Moutevelis melted down over how one TV show “had it’s 12-year-old characters share their first kiss – a gay kiss,” ranting that “For reasons I can’t even begin to fathom, ABC insists on pushing the homosexual agenda on children, taking it further and further with each episode.”
Kornick devoted another post to her hate-watching of “Batwoman,” this time complaining that the show has been “forced to introduce a homophobic police force to pretend having a lesbian lead really matters,” retorting that “Considering one can hardly refuse to serve gay wedding cakes in this day and age anymore, I think the progressives doth protest too much.”
