Netflix defends packing shows with LGBT ‘representation’: ‘every gay person is very necessary’

Even in a world as uniformly left-wing as Hollywood, Netflix’s weakness stands out, from leading the pro-abortion mob against Georgia to controversial productions such as The Two Popes. Some LGBT roles are inserted that have nothing at all to do with the storyline of the movie but are a sidetrack to satisfy a lobby group. It portrays the weakness of directors of movies.  Then we have aggressive LGBT roles where suddenly the dialogue goes sideways and we have a lengthy tiresome illogical justification of immoral LGBT. So we go from entertainment to LGBT agenda.  But one of the most pervasive manifestations of the streaming platform’s priorities is its glut of LGBT content. “LGBTQ” is a specific searchable genre, and one 2017 list counted a whopping 57 shows on the platform featuring gay characters.

In 1983, while very active and miserable in the “LGBT” culture, I spoke to a priest who told me that I could have sexual relations with a

Since many ancient peoples practiced homosexuality, what role should the Bible ’s negative view about homosexuality have in modern thinking and culture? The Revisionist Answer Homosexuality existed in many ancient cultures, including Egypt, Greece , and Rome . We can learn from these ancient cultures how to be tolerant of homosexuality alongside heterosexuality. These cultures should contribute to our culture as much as Jewish-Christian views. The Biblical Answer All ancient societies whose laws we have discovered restricted homosexual behavior , even though there usually was a level of acceptance. More to the point is the truism that any culture must be wary of tinkering with its foundational ethical underpinnings by embracing other societies’ standards. Other cultures have influenced modern Western culture , yet the morality of the West has flowed from a biblical ethic. Ancient cultures embraced slavery, recreational drugs and alcohol abuse, abortion, the killing of th
