IIt's never a good idea to push your beliefs on big business......

 Missouri Senator Josh "Hee" Hawley put his foot in his mouth again when Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos met with a Senate committee, ostensibly to discuss the still-pending merger of the streaming giant with Warner Bros Discovery. Hawley steered the discussion toward a discourse on how Netflix offends his supposed values with LGTBQ+ content, making it all about him (sound familiar?).

Farron Cousins explains.


So what this amounted to was Hawley hijacking the meeting to air out personal grievances. Yeah, that does have a familiar stench to it, doesn't it? What he really has a problem with is how the LGTBQ+ community has gained acceptance in general society, such that we're seeing more & more content developed for and about them. That's part of how society moves forward. Hawley and some of these other GOP stick-in-the-muds would rather move society back 70 years. Deal with it, chumps.
