Thank you. It looks like a possibility, but still there are a lot of assumptions in your hypothesis. One of the lines that stroke me in your argumentation is You may be underestimating the audience. If the plays were intended to be critic of any groups, mindsets, ideologies, etc., why criticism should be perceived as "finger wagging"? Are you setting this audience at the same level of stupidity some anti-woke posters display in this forum? Of course, I have never read a script or attended a show, so you may be right. But based on the same sources you are sharing here, I do not see "excess of wokism". I am not saying that there is no such a thing. Unfortunately, yes there is. There are brainless representatives of all political/cultural mindsets, including wokism. I just do not understand your conviction in this particular case. Additionally, we are talking about an artistic expression's quality (are we?), which does not depend on its popularity. You are an educated and smart man, so I am sure I do not need to make the long list of successful crap, or failing masterpieces we have seen along Art History.

Just saw this. Your imagination also has a lot to do with your interpretation of this company halting productions.

It sounds like you are questioning their explanation (the pandemic) based only in your dislike of what you perceive as excessive wokism. Do you have any evidence other than your preferences?

Newsroom staff revolts against managers who told them to cover fewer pride events Another article I liked. My favorite piece: Staff were outraged at the notion public opinion should guide the TV station’s news coverage. Such a refreshing contrast with the posters advocating for submission to the masses!

Sure, genius. And I am back to loving American (Airlines)! They gave me an upgrade, and I had a fantastic flight. I have short-term memory issues. 😇

Bull shit. With guys like you, we would still have slavery.

The difference is that the article does not stop at remembering the Stonewall riots. History in the report is the fundament to question gay conformism and advocate for recovering the original meaning of Stonewall. It also reminds privileged homosexuals that we owe much of our rights and comfortable position to the braveness of drags, trans, and hustlers, the same ones being looked down on and discriminated against now.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice?

The issue is only when the protesters are queer or People of Color. I do not want to ignore the admins' warning, so I do not want to bring to the table a recent "protest" widely celebrated by the Troglodytes here.

The word hate was part of the bait. I am not as passionate in my current dislike for AA. But if you do not, I guess your bag does hate them. 😇

I will try to be a good (queer) boy.

The other side of social media addiction is social media influence exaggeration.

LOL. I love how you drop the bait, and they start dropping their masks.

With Muslims or with Homophobic Theocracies? Ask our loving Christian brothers and sisters in Uganda and the surrounding vicinity.

I was nicely surprised by this article published in Metro Weekly. I fondly agree with the author: a call for civil disobedience in Homophobic America. Cancelling LGBTQ Prides Spits on the Spirit of Stonewall WWW.METROWEEKLY.COM We must push back, harder, stronger, together, and not let up. Because who can be proud of a community...

LOL. It was intentional. A clickbait intended to disappoint some bright posters who think I hate the USA. My apologies, I was not thinking of you.

You are nicer than I am. That's good.

Unfortunately, their prices are reasonable, so I may be doomed to keep flying with them. However, I am having the worst traveling experience of my life right now. My flight left DC 4 hours delayed. When we landed in Miami, we had to wait 25 minutes on the tarmac for a gate. When I exited the gate, my flight to Buenos Aires was still boarding. However, I did not make it. They did not assign fast transportation from one gate to the other, and all the passengers in my situation lost their flight. We were re-directed to the rebooking counter, with not much empathy. The line was endless. After 2 hours in the line, I was assigned a stand-by seat on a flight tonight. No hotel, no meals, not even a voucher for the Admirals Club. I slept a couple of hours on the floor, and everything started to open up for morning business. The silver lining is the Cuban men in the airport. As the situation is beyond my control, my frustration was short-lived. I now sit in the concourse, admiring the parade of sexy security and airport staff. I may log into my hookup apps. I have a lot of time. By the way, I saw a lot of Pride stuff in Reagan. Here in Miami, there is nothing (besides the hot men).

Ha. So childish and ignorant. I was correct. Another case of intolerance disguised as a progressive stand.

Oh. You are supporting The Atlantic, I see. You do know it is not a non for profit, right? I do like it the source, but your anti corporations mindset seems to be not very consistent.

Welcome to Capitalism. I guess you are withdrawing to a cave out of the grid and society.

Or you do not understand social media, or you are too intolerant to live with people who disagree with you or hate others and themselves. I agree there is a challenge with how freedom of speech has evolved since the Internet and social media became mainstream. However, running away from the challenge is not the correct response.

Hell no. I do not run away and give away a platform to the POS posters.

It is more complicated than that. I do not recall leaving any PM unresponded. However, my response was often not so lovely or was not delivering the answer to the question. Per example: drama queens contacting me via PM to instigate gossiping or conflicts. My usual response is that I will block them if they contact me again, with an invitation to discuss anything they want but in public guys I do not know asking me for additional information. I am usually nice and only inform them of my policy: I only share details beyond my public posting with people I know. lazy guys who do not research the content and ask questions that have sometimes been responded many, many times. I usually redirect them to do their research. Overall, I do not think there is such a thing as "PM etiquette", at least you consider ignoring as part of the digital world culture. Even when I do not do it here in this forum, I ignore PM messages on other platforms and I think it is legit.

All you have to do is listen to his preaching and consider his influence and standing among the Brightest Americans. I wonder what triggers you and your other Bright friends to defend an influential homophobe. Naw, I actually do not wonder why.
