After a hard days work people are more likely to seek an escape than a history lesson. Almost three million people tuned in to watch a mini series that felt like an "educational video" according to the New York Times. That is a solid number. You aren't doing yourself any favors by shaming gays who would rather be entertained by Drag Race then lectured to by Gay Roots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 In all honestly though. I saw the trailer for "Doubt" and I knew it wouldn't last. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,958 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 How are ratings even calculated these days? I don't have cable or satellite. I have an antenna, but where I live, I get sh*tty reception. I have a Roku, and many new shows I want to watch either don't make it to any of the Roku apps or I end up watching a week later because of my schedule. Surely I'm not the only person in the U.S. like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward T 2,470 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Maybe cause gays have better things to do then watch tv. Homestly though, I barely even watch tv nowadays I'll watch it on youtube. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claymore 671 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Leave it to the gays to bash an LGBT show just cause it doesn't have butt sex, rhinestones and dumb catchphrases and then y'all act surprised when your rights are snatched from under yo ass. But hey, we have grindr, drag race and that one slutty gay character in How To Get Away With Murder. We woke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Estie 5,736 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 okay but this attitude is messy? The concept of a documentary about a movement I'm currently a part of doesn't seem vital to watch to me. I never heard of it until now. doesn't seem like it has a fresh perspective or anything particularly exciting. also almost 3 million people saw it on prime time TV....that isn't good? lmao. I'd recommend katie couric's gender revolution on nat geo. seems interesting. Just waiting for it to be available for free somewhere.

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 You don't have to care about LGBT history just because you are gay, but in our society to simply act as if your sexuality is trivial from a societal standpoint screams willful ignorance to me The point of this is to raise awareness, and simply being gay does not mean you don't "need" to know this. (You don't "need" to know anything, but understanding that being LGBT does align yourself with people in history whether you accept it or not is to me some kind of important) If for no other reason than to avoid becoming out of touch with reality, I think its important That being said, this is sad, but also kind of cool that that many people watched it. I haven't watched it yet, but will soon. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Perry's last Madea movie made 75 million. Yet you would probably not extrapolate from that figure to insult all African Americans right? Probably not. Stay woke.

Bio 23,538 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Just by these comments I can see the world is dumb and tries to make excuses to not educate itself. Most young gays don't even know the history of their community and don't care to know. You people spend hours on this site and can't stop ten minutes to read an article. Keep living your tiny lives but don't complain when you're rights gets taken away from you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeka 12,372 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I was just gonna torrent it laters. There's also the fact people may just be tired of politics. There is also the fact it is about minorities, LGBT in particular. However, that doesn't mean that it appeals to LGBT. It will appeal to some outside of it, but let's make no qualms, this was not meant for a general audience. I don't like the idea of blaming the community for when something related to it fails. It does come off as very... well... it's not thoroughly appealing. I hate this article though. Like people have other things to do with their lives. And I'm sorry, but yes, some of would prefer to escape at least for a little while. This show would just drive you further deeper into what is happening. People will do what they want to do to help, but watching television should be an escape. And honestly, if like I had the choice between this and something like Yuri on ice, I'm going with YOI.

RAMROD 117,897 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Most people don't watch TV anymore. They should put it on Netflix and YouTube. Get with the time! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ⁱᵐ'ᵐᵃ ʰⁱᵗ ᵈᵉᶠʳᵒˢᵗ ᵒⁿ ʸᵃ, ˡᵉᵗ'ˢ ᵍᵉᵗ ⁱᵗ ᵇˡᵃᶻⁱⁿᵍ﹗ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagagoogoose 30,952 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm just glad that there's a touching TV representation of LGBT history. Ratings are just incentives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
