Netflix Twists Anne of Green Gables into a 'Queer Soirée' With 5 LGBT Characters
« on: July 20, 2018, 08:20:21 pm »
Another reason to ditch Netflix.

The new Netflix adaptation of the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables has been revised to include multiple homosexual characters, according to the series creator, Moira Walley-Beckett.

In the Northwood Entertainment-produced series, "Anne With an E," the beloved character Great Aunt Josephine Barry is the first of many LGBT characters in the series.

Why?  I'm asking seriously...we might finally be able to access decent streaming speed, and we're looking everything,  I've heard from more than a few people that Netflix's selection sucks.

Besides the fact they (Netflix) hired B. Hussein and his Wookie wife to developed shows that reflect the Obama vision of America....  Not a darn thing.

The media outlet reports the show also features two homosexual male characters. One is Anne's good friend, "Cole."

"It would only make sense that there would be somebody in the class who was struggling with identity," Walley-Beckett claims. "I was very keen to include a storyline like that."

And it doesn't end there. IndieWire goes on to report that the series creator also pictured the children's teacher, Mr. Phillips, as gay.

"Also, in my mind, their teacher Mr. Phillips has always been an unidentified closeted homosexual," Walley-Beckett said. "He just has no idea that he was."
Ms. Walley-Beckett is quite seriously mentally ill.

My Roku includes Netflix,, Amazon Prime, and others. There is no way I can consume all of the material selections offered.

Therefore I use the on-off buttons, the channel selection buttons etc.

Of late I'm listening to podcasts and youtubers. (temporary visual impairment) Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin conduct fascinating interviews with interesting people. Joe is not a homo but Dave is. Doesn't impact the interview. 


I realize homosexuals are and have been disproportionately present in entertainment. To avoid all contact, one must makethe entertainment search activity, too complicated. Therefore if content bothers me, I stop watching that particular selection.

They promote all kinds of degeneracy from LGBT to pedophilia.

Keep It Gay

The original with Zero Mostel is still the best.  Even my old man laughed at the original, and he didn't hardly laugh at anything.
