Gay Lead of NBC's Musical Theater Series, Rise, Rewritten as Straight

Oh, well as long as it has a trans character, that's all that matters.

Triggered!

Boycott NBC. I'm not supporting anymore str8washing especially when it's being used to sell transcult propaganda.

Go away, R2.

Trannies and breeders ruin everything. That's it. I want separatism. I'm tired of being the token gay at breeder-centric events. I'm tired of being forced to pretend to tolerate homophobic male and female genital mutilation. I want gay-only things. After all the shit we've taken from our oppressors and after everything they've taken from us, gays should get everything and only we should get anything.

NO MORE TRANS-HET PROPAGANDA!

25 years ago, Mel Gibson de-gayed his character in the movie "Man Without a Face."

So "Rise" on NBC must be what progress looks like.

I would urge people to read the book, which is a great read...a real feel-good story.

Gay turned into straight & trans. No gay.

This is the future if the letter is not dropped.

Even [italic]Fresh off the Boat[/italic] could bring Allison out of the closet.

[quote]Gay turned into straight & trans. No gay. This is the future if the letter is not dropped.

It's like [italic]Back to the Future[/italic], but not the parts with Marty in his underwear, the parts with Marty's future gradually disappearing minute by minute.

Wait, Josh Radnor is playing straight? Or gay? I'm confused.

Whether his character is gay or straight is always confusing to me.

If there were gay or G&L organizations they would be protesting this. But none exist.

Remember when gay organizations protested Cruising and Basic Instinct? And that was nothing compared to this.

Y'all were too busy bashing [italic]Song of the South[/italic] to notice.

So it’s a de fagged “Glee”?

[italic]Glee[/italic] enabled it by pushing trans-propaganda towards the end, R14. Even when it was new, it stunk and it proved just what a hack Ryan Murphy is.

Glee had a 200-person transgender choir

GLAAD celebrates

So in other words, every tranny in the world?

Could you imagine if they made a trans person not trans? OMG those mental cases would be screaming from the rooftops...I mean more than they usually are.

[quote] Could you imagine if they made a trans person not trans? OMG those mental cases would be screaming from the rooftops...I mean more than they usually are.

You're sick, Mole! You're a weirdo pervert! Rid your body of that disgusting transplant!

Bravo R5! I totally agree.

NBC is the equivalent of the homophobic jock who's had the entire football team up his ass.

It's "Glee" meets "Smash." And like the latter, it won't last long.

Josh Radnor is long rumored to be gay so there's that.

Can high schools even license "Spring Awakening"?

This is the future of gay people on broadcast television: Being equated with trans, because really, when you get down to it, all gay people really want to be normal and attracted to the opposite sex. Just like in Iran, where there are no gays because they force them all to change their sex.

Like the same Iran with whom Obama, whose ass MSNBC kissed on a daily basis all the years he was president, made a deal, R26?

You go to any High School and the Arts programs are full of gay kids. On TV, it's only one closeted kid. But thank God we have another show where the Football players come and make the Arts cool.

They made it about MSFs (Males who sleep with females) and gay men will be mentioned so that the MSFs can use them as a tool to appear more manly in some way by "protecting them" even though in real life we're generally the stronger ones.

OMG the lamest WhatAbout?© ever, r27

GLAAD should get on this.......oh wait, they're too busy helping kill off gay Star Trek characters.

More straightwashing bullshit. I hope this goes down in flames.

So tired of mainstream culture plundering artistic expressions of the gay experience, erasing our existence and then selling the resulting chimera as a product to straight people.

Actually, a serious question. Why haven't the SJW shut this program down by now? If it was a topic that they cared about,SJW would have had the program pulled so scenes could be re-shot. It has been 12 hours and all I can find a 32 replies on DL.

Well, as much as I hate to agree with R1, maybe he’s right, R33.

Hadn't planned on watching it anyway...now I have another reason not to!

Seriously? Taking a gay character and making him straight? WTF are they thinking?

And quit with the trans obsession. They didn't take a gay character and make him trans, that made him straight.

R30: L*m* is an ableist slur, and the fact that you cannot refute Obama's collusion with a genocidally homophobic government and can only use hate speech in response says everything about you, Obama, and Iran and nothing about me and anyone who can see the Emperor for his lack of clothes.

For anyone past, present, or future who believes that mental health slurs are a substitute for an argument:

Only one person struggling w sexuality sounds like tokenism. I feel he didn’t adequately explain why he had to de-gay the main character.

[quote] I feel he didn’t adequately explain why he had to de-gay the main character.

Because he doesn't want to say the obvious truth "I thought the show was an easier sell to the network and audiences with a straight character"

There is no real reason other than that.

There is no good reason, R39. It's not 1965 anymore and they need to stop writing gay characters like it is.

He's the "How I Met Your Mother" guy, right?

Goddamit, you people already have "Will and Grace." Why can't you be happy with that?

We wanted Blair and Jo, R42. Why couldn't we have THEM?

What NBC can't do, CBS can.

Josh Radnor has been rumored to be a closet gay so I'm wondering if he or his agent protested the character eventually being portrayed as gay?

Ryan Murphy and Greg Berlanti had been writing several heterosexual main characters and this fuck of a writer whines about how he can not relate to a gay character??

Easy. Just replace the girl with a guy and youre good to go. It also wont hurt your sexuality to watch at least one gay movie, unless youre afraid you might like what you see. 💁

It has that guy from "Girl, you don't need makeup" faux boyband from that show with the fat comedianne!

Wake me when we have a show that's truly 100% gay on both sides of the camera.

[quote]Why haven't the SJW shut this program down by now?

Because they're anti-gay.

r49 I volunteer to fuck all of the men to make sure they're gay.

R49 Austin Mackenzie?? When We Rise+Speech&Debate

R49 Colton Haynes(lately) and Russell Tovey

[quote]Why haven't the SJW shut this program down by now?

SJW don't care about gay. They want trans.

"Social justice" was also a buzzword used by an anti-semitic radio priest named Charles Coughlin in the 1970s.

Let us puke rainbow all over NBC.

[quote]Gay Lead of NBC's Musical Theater Series, Rise, Rewritten as Straight

Just exactly who does NBC think is the audience for a musical theater series?

I'm going down to my NBC station to protest while singing the original "Gimme A Break" theme song.

Let us all spray water gun on the writer who made him straight!!

*squirt* *squirt* You like that, you little hetero?? *squirt* *squirt*

Give gays a break,

We sure deserve it,

I hope this stupid show's a flop.

Give gays a break,

From breeder bullshit

'Cause this straightwashing has got to stop!

We want a happy ending,

We're tired of pretending

That gays have no place on TV.

Goddammit,

Give gays a break!

Stop acting so pensive.

Give gays a break!

This shit is offensive.

Give gays a break,

I swear I'm not a violent person. 😳

RISE actually has two gay male high school aged characters in its cast. One who’s out and one who’s closeted and in denial. It’s a major story in the show. Their parts in Spring Awakening factor into the plot..

Screenwriter: (Cant relate to being gay.)

Screenwriter: (Makes main character straight)

Screenwriter: (Creates/Keeps lgbt minor characters because we dont deserve to be the main character.)

Me: Yeah, BS. Still not watching, they'll probably mess up the remaining lgbt characs. anyway.

That doesn't justify taking a real-life gay character and making him heterosexual while using it as a vehicle for transcult propaganda. It's saying we can only be visible if we celebrate this cult of sexist homophobic ritual mutilation.

What a surprise.. the networks hate gays, I'm shocked!

[Quote]It's saying we can only be visible if we celebrate this cult of sexist homophobic ritual mutilation.

QFT

Then why did they cast him with a gay actor??

So, everything was taken out of context. We cool, right?

But the real man wasn't gay, in a way. He didn't come out m wasn't pout, when he put on th show. he just was who he was. The tv show has lots of room to gay him up if seasons last

Did they push trans in the book or is this something they added?

So now it qualifies for that catch-all, "based on a true story"?

More like "biased, the same old story".

r77 "inspired by a true story" is even more catch all.

I'm still waiting for an "Adam & Steve" miniseries, "inspired by stories from the Old Testament".

Someone posted this in the comments section for this story on Out.com:

[quote]So, to recap: they made a gay character straight, but it was taken out of context when we complained that a gay character was made straight? So, we were right, but wrong in being right? Makes sense.

As R7 says, the book this show is based on is excellent, so this is very disappointing. The drama teacher brought cutting edge theatre to a blue collar school, dedicated years to the program, and making him a straight Dad and husband is an insult to the real man and his achievements.

Perhaps Josh Radnor will come out and that will balance out their making the character straight.

Funnily enough the "Spring Awakening" musical de-gays the original Wendekind play:

"By way of comparison, let’s take a look at the “gay scene” in Spring Awakening, the contemporary rock musical based on Frank Wedekind’s late-19th century drama about clueless teenagers in lust. In the Wedekind play, there’s a sweet, funny, moving scene in which the young students Hanschen and Ernst connect emotionally and physically. While Steven Sater’s adaptation of this scene for the musical hews closely to the original in terms of the text, the onstage encounter was directed by Michael Mayer to be played in such an over-the-top comedic way that it has become a broadly comic seduction scene, marked by coolly calculated moves on the part of the seducer and pop-eyed skittishness from his prey.

We may never know for sure why this scene has been handled in this manner, but I have a guess. Although I don’t remember any gasping, groaning, or inappropriate laughs when I saw Spring Awakening at a critics’ performance early on at the Atlantic, I imagine that the moment in question began to elicit unwanted vocal reactions when performed before general audiences — including young people — later in the Off-Broadway run and during Broadway previews. Mayer probably decided to ramp up the comedy of the scene as a pre-emptive strike: You know, “If we play this in such a way that it’s obvious we WANT the audience to laugh, it won’t be jarring when they do.”

That Out.com article was ridiculous. Why isn't any one calling this asshole out on his bullshit. Where are the follow up questions? You can still make the story your own without changing the sexuality of the real person. Gay people can have families. If there was any don't what a sell out group GLAAD is, that is no longer the case. They help Star Trek kill off one of the first gay characters now they help this show degay it's main character. How can they ever talk about gay visibility in media again.

I will ONLY forgive the producers of this show if in the second episode they have have Betty Buckley in full Margaret White drag sing, ”He will BURN you” to the main character.

Heaven forbid a trans character should steal everything away from gay men ruining their lives forever.

Sounds like the writer was coerced to 'sanitise' his main protagonist. Spineless.

Authority figures in drama are usually celebrated as being straight. I'm disappointed.

Fuck the football too. Who cares.

Sorry gay men. You're not victims.

You've crossed over to the other side. You are now the perpetrators of repression instead. The way you demonise women and trans people is disgusting and hypocrital.

^^ Is this the latest version of Captain Intolerance? From a holier-than-thou Frau to outright hated of gays?

R87 have you considered transitioning?

Trans, unlike being gay, is a choice and hetero women are privileged in ways gay men are not, R86/R87, you bigoted toad. Breeders are perverts, and gay people's lives, culture, and bodies are being destroyed because of their bigotry and stupidity. Mass media is complicit in furthering the lies that heterosexuality is anything other than a menace to society.

You should consider transitioning…from living to dead.

[quote]Trans, unlike being gay, is a choice

Well, that is just patently untrue.

Not a fan of trans, but even less of a fan of liars.

Mutilating your body and changing your name to conform to sexual stereotypes of the opposite sex is a choice. But a man will never be female no matter what.

Only a bigot supports allowing men invading women-only spaces and vice versa.

Sucking cock is also a choice.

Bryan Fuller ain’t having it

I like Bryan Fuller but I don't remember any of his shows having a gay lead character.

Interesting reading the Out.com article about the producers response. If you check out articles about the "producers clarification" on The Hollywood Report, Indiewire and other media outlets, the articles are almost written the same across the board.

It seems to me that NBC's PR team did a full court press on the media outlets that reported the straight-washing story and probably threaten to cut off access to their shows & stars if they didn't print the producers response.

Jason Katims has a poor track recording regarding gay characters. On Friday Night Lights, the gay characters were bit or secondary/recurring characters, and on Parenthood, Peter Krause's daughter brought home a college girlfriend for ONE EPISODE. Seriously, it was only mentioned in one episode.

recording = record

R95 Didnt he reveal that some gay characters he made got straight-washed too? And apparently got threatened or sth??

Heteros have enough crap to pander to their bad taste without de-gaying real world gay people. It's 2017.

[quote] That Out.com article was ridiculous. Why isn't any one calling this asshole out on his bullshit. Where are the follow up questions?

I suspected they were starting to turn on us. Even at the turn of the century they still cared about deplatforming anti-gay bigots like Dr. Laura and Eminem. Now they're enabling them. Chastity Bono's grotesque self-mutilation and denial of her lesbian self should have been the last straw. I can barely listen to Cher anymore after that.

R100 It's 2018 lol 😂

We should all just stab GLAAD!!!

ABC had more and better gays.

[quote] We should all just stab GLAAD!!!

Glaadly.

[quote]That Out.com article was ridiculous. Why isn't any one calling this asshole out on his bullshit.

Because the trans character has pacified them.

Gay men are adults. We don't need pacifiers. But we do owe the next generations of gays a better future than our past.

[quote]Because the trans character has pacified them.

Yup. GLAAD is a total joke and doesn't really care about gay representation anymore.

Why do they always de-gay the gay male characters but never the lesbians?

I happened to work on this piece of crap show for a brief period of time. It was a total shit show and the acting from the principal cast was appalling. They filmed one scene late last year where Josh Radnor's character was trying to give some pep talk to the high school football captain. It sounded like his dialogue with NPH in The Paris Letter. The gay leaps out from the surface of Radnor, even if people like Katmis try to repress it due to their own internal homophobia.

Also important to note is that NBC cut the season order mid production, so clearly they don't have much faith that this is going to last very long. They got burned by Smash and, with this scandal as just one knock against it, they will get burned again and cancel this show after a few episodes. We won't be seeing any musical shows like this for a while after due to the stench and honestly, that's not such a bad thing. Some more time needs to pass and there should be some fresher voices taking a crack at it when the concept is tried again.

R109 I KNOW! I'm so sick of it! Ugh, if I have a capacity to vomit 1 liter everytime a gay male character gets de-gayed, I'd have 50 gallons.

Scratch that, make it 500 gallons!!

Right now, the only show i could think about that doesnt include de-gayed characters is How To Get Away With Murder.

GLAAD is run almost entirely by "lesbian" trans women (autogynehiles), now. It's no surprise they don't care about gay men or their stories, They spent most of their lives as straight men after all.

[quote]Scratch that, make it 500 gallons!!

Oh, no r112. Just no.

Pretty weak excuse. I’ve never had an issue ‘relating’ to straight characters I’ve played. If it’s the family aspect he wanted to ‘lean’ into why not make it a gay family? Sucks bc this sounds like a fun show 👎

Yay!! Tell 'em Matt! 😺

Boycott, boycott.

Why do networks keep making poor decisions by spending millions on “fame” rip offs that always fail and alienate the one audience (gays) that would otherwise possibly keep it afloat?

[quote]It seems to me that NBC's PR team did a full court press on the media outlets that reported the straight-washing story and probably threaten to cut off access to their shows & stars if they didn't print the producers response.

This is NBC standard M.O. to do this r96 and they have done it before and probably will do it again in the future.

Feels like 1982 all over again when NBC degayed Montgomery for the TV version of FAME. My, we've come far, haven't we?

Don't nuke North Korea, nuke straight men.

You can start boycotting by downvoting these videos to then not buy the tickets.

"From the producer of HAMILTON"

Now you know why I hate that show and the sheep who idolize it.

R123 I already have.

This show is the biggest trainwreck on NBC since [italic]Supertrain[/italic].

That's great and everybody here should go and downvote the video :) R125

I already did.

This is even sadder coming from a guy who literally wrote with Winnie Holzman the first openly gay teen regular on network television (Rickie Vasquez on My so-called Life).

They're sellouts, R129.

The closet wins again.

Gays don’t care.

Off topic, just want to say, Muriel, if these ads from realjock, that I always get for a few weeks, and I have read that other dlers get them as well all the time, don't stop, I will not return to dl anymore. I have come here for six years but I will not return, just hang out a few minutes sometimes and that's it. The pics one can turn off in the settings, but not these ads.

Don't know if there is anything more to it than just making money, maybe also driving away trolls, but it certainly will get many of the few moral or educated posters left, and I guess also many lesbians, away from dl. I think most dlers get these ads.

r133 = lezzie

R133, do you know how to install an ad-blocker on your browser.

r135 Nah, she'd rather attack gay male websites for doing business with each other.

If this results in lesbians leaving DL, then I'm all for it. I've never liked the idea of women, gay or straight, posting here, and if lesbians think that these ads, which are wholly SFW, offend all people who are "moral or educated" just because they show off handsome men, then that just goes to show that they share the same toxic attitudes towards male homosexuality as straight people, and should therefore be kept out of gay spaces. Imagine if gay men started to attack a lesbian forum for displaying ads that appeal to lesbians. You'll never see this but if it happened, we all know how that would end - with probably some thinkpiece on some prominent liberal website telling gay men to check their male privilege and stop being such juvenile misogynists.

If DL is showing these ads, it's only because it's gay men's clicks and money that sustain this website. This has always been the case. If you don't like it, leave it. And if you stay, stop FF'ing our sexual and homoerotic threads. You don't have a right to punish gay men for talking about themselves in our own spaces.

Oh, and just one more thing, r133...

R5 get over your childish self.

Will & Grace has plenty of gay characters. Stop your whining!

R137 I'm pretty convinced there's a lot more lesbians than you think that enjoys gay male porn. I saw a reddit thread once about porn preferences(I really tried to find it again, but I cant lol) and someone commented gay porn and its literally the Most-Liked comment. They say they felt lesbian porn was mostly fake.

It's a subreddit for lesbians (if its not clear)

[bold] ATTENTION!!

[/bold] The youtube channel deleted their first trailer mentioned above(probably becaise of the feedback). They have reuploaded a new trailer:

Now dislike this new trailer again so this show can be deleted from existence!

They're debuting the pilot right after an episode of This Is Us, so I guess they have somewhat high hopes.

Already disliked R142

Hope the rest does it too.

I dunno, Friday Night Lights was a great show, and I trust those producers to make something interesting.

They even made the main couple(I assume) heterosexual. The gay character would probably just get 3 minutes per episode worth of screentime.

r146 And he's probably going to be an angsty celibate who's too focused on his own inner torment to pursue any relationships while his straight friends get pussy and dick right and left.

i avoid anything rosie perez is in

that voice and attitude

ouch

C+ for the entire first season from the AV Club.

Definitely skipping this one.

[quote]This is even sadder coming from a guy who literally wrote with Winnie Holzman the first openly gay teen regular on network television (Rickie Vasquez on My so-called Life).

And Mr Katimski, the gay teacher, though it was not made clear if he was openly so.

[quote]Can high schools even license "Spring Awakening"?

They are/were planning on doing it at Majory Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland, FL. That hottie Cameron Kasky was in rehearsal for it before the shooting took place. Don’t know if they (or he) are still planning on doing it.

I think he’s one of us.

There are lots of gay characters on TV, but I guess having an openly gay male high school teacher is still verboten. And sadly, maybe that's still true in real life, except maybe in places like NYC.

Check out Katims' bitchy comments when questioned about this straightwashing:

[quote]Even the way you just said it was a jumping-off point, one of the things I was thinking about as I was reading …

[quote]I don’t want to answer any more questions on this subject. I responded to it. I would like to talk about the show. I don’t want to get more into the subject.

r153 Deplorable! I hope this bombs completely.

Also, remaining composed at all times and not saying "I don’t want to answer any more questions on this subject" even if interviewed by a journo from hell is literally PR 101 when plugging your show on the circuit. The higher-ups at the NBC must have been cringing their asses off, reading this interview. Just horrible publicity. Send the bitch packing back to Brooklyn whence it came.

R151, I’m assuming Cameron will be naked in this production? Road trip!

I dont understand this Katims guy, it seems like he's one of those people who likes stirring a hell of a shitstorm and then becomes upset when he gets flooded with the shit he created.

Only straight girls who are FAKE ALLIES will watch this.

[bold] I'M GONNA MAKE EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW STRAIGHT EXCEPT FOR THE QUIRKY GAY BESTFRIEND!! [/bold]

Now, stop bothering me, queers!

I hope that this and the Roseanne reboot are epic flops, but like the American Idol reboot, they will probably both be successes.

I work in tv. He's a well known douchebag. None of the surprises me.

This is what happens when hets tell our stories.

I love Spring Awakening, but oh, how mediocre this show appears to be.

The lead girl certainly can sing. I’m also looking forward to hearing The Guilty Ones and Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind.

What’s the deal with the teacher’s son? Just an alcoholic or drinking because he’s gay and closeted?

Is the alkie son supposed to be in high school, too? The same one where the father teaches? I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be HS age or older.

I really enjoyed this show, much more than I thought I would. I think it'll get better in future episodes, since the table-setting and character intros are over with. Very reminiscent of FNL, which was a great show.

Watching it, there was absolutely no reason that he needed to be straight.

R164 Shame on you for supporting this show. There's ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for their horrible decision to straightwash the character

R165 - there is no guarantee he is straight. The teacher who this is based on was married for almost 20 years. Maybe they are just playing with the timeline a bit.

Breaking news! Gay men get flustered again.

Dear Mary, this is a common device used to draw in audiences that wouldn't ordinarily relate to a minority show. The focus of the show later shifts to unconventional leads. The straight white guy is the audience stand in and in smart shows can serve as a mirror for societies more subtle prejudices. See any Jenji Kohan interview regarding how OITNB. So slow your roll. And just remember that network would not have greenlit this show with an out gay lead.

To quote that great philosopher of our age Jordan Sparks, "one step at a time".

I believe that the issue is that we want to see ourselves represented as we see ourselves. We want to be validated and celebrated in the media, instead of portrayed as angst-ridden in stories about coming out, which is hackneyed, or about AIDS or having gay characters simply be there as the court jester. Katims' intention to change the character to straight may not have been out of blatant homophobia. He did, however, apparently start his very first meeting with Lou Volpe by warning him that the character based on him would be straight, so he must have known that it would be a point of contention. The change doesn't feel genuine. There was an opportunity here to show the story of an inspiring gay man. THAT is the story, we want to see. That is compelling. Instead he's changed the authority figure to straight and relegated the gay characters to kids and secondary characters and added a mosaic of minorities and differently abled people, which is cliche. Yet again, an opportunity has been missed. I don't believe for one second that the lead character will eventually come out as gay like Lou Volpe did, and I'd be willing to bet that the show would never have been green-lit with a gay high school teacher as its lead character. The story being told here is simply not the story that I want to see. So fuck Jason Katims and those other Hamilton producers. Fuck GLAAD and fuck NBC.

Honestly glad that I didnt watch the pilot on tv(so they cant get ratings).

At least the show itself is bad and boring, so we dont have to worry about it succeeding. It also has several bad reviews

[quote]Honestly glad that I didnt watch the pilot on tv(so they cant get ratings).

Unless you're a Nielsen family, what you watch or don't watch, and where you watch have no effect on the ratings.

"To quote that great philosopher of our age Jordan Sparks, "one step at a time".

This seems to sum you up quite nicely.

I'm alarmed that Vulture.com thinks that "adaption" is a word.

It's in the dictionary R173

It's just another word for adaptation.

CANCELED, bitches!!!

Not a loss. It could have been decent but it was aggressively mediocre.

Sweet!

Jason Katims was a total asshole about the whole thing.

R168 could you give an example of when this happened in the past? When the focus of a show later "shifted" to "unconventional leads"? When such a shift involved LGBT characters?

Thank god. R175

Yet, Fox is now bringing back Tim Allen's cancelled show.

Lol they tried their best to cover up their tracks(they deleted A LOT of them). Still did not work 😂
