Netflix hit back at a viral meme on Twitter that criticizes its use of gay characters in series. A Twitter user posted the meme of the Spongebob Squarepants character Patrick Star stuffing a giant pumpkin into a small funnel. The tweet had over 78,000 likes and nearly 22,000 retweets by Wednesday evening. After going viral, Netflix decided to respond. “Sorry you have yet to realize that every gay person is very necessary,” the streaming giant tweeted. Naturally, the reply set off reactions of its own — including a mysterious tweet by “The Walking Dead” account.

We dumped Netflix when they hired Obama. 8 years was too much. I won't pay for more.

They all do it. So many shows nowadays have gay characters who could just as easily be normal without changing the story, but they feel oh so obligated. They did it in the 1960's with token blacks and women too. It was completely transparent.

I'd like to know why "Jake, from State Farm" became "colored?"

If you are telling a story, why is it necessary to have a gay character, rather than just an actor or actress? These are not legitimate stories, but messaging. It is inappropriate to tell people what to think. That is the people's job.

Well, one good thing happening is that more viewers are recognizing blatant propaganda when they see it! In fact, it is difficult to find quality productions without political propaganda! ...Bummer!

Netflix has Barry on their board dictating what they program. Pervert programming is right up his alley since he's one of them along with the Wookie.

When are we going to admit that being gay is not who you are it is what you do sexually. It is none of my business what you do or who you do it with sexually. I interact with people on the basis of their beliefs and how they treat me. There are gays who I want to interact with and others I don't, but it has nothing to do with who they are having sex with. I judge people on much more important factors. Who are you if you don't?

Why not follow the "norm" of one percent gay characters and thirteen percent blacks? Having both all over the place might represent San Francisco and Southside Chicago but not mainstream America.

NO homosexual characters are necessary. When a show adds a homosexual character, I drop the show, just that simple. I was a pretty big fan of NCIS: New Orleans until the obnoxious NY lesbian replaced Zoe McLellan, who was a great character. I haven't seen an episode in years now.

We still have it, son wants it and pays for it, so I was just scrolling around and saw a show called Take A Letter To The King. It's about young kids during the time of knights and such so thinking it would be a change of pace, I watched. In the last episode of the show, fifteen minutes in, two boys kissed. It was unnecessary and not worthy of the show aimed at kids. Obama has his finger in every bit of entertainment on there. I learned my lesson.

The Gay Mafia has essentially infiltrated the top executive levels of almost every type of entity: news, entertainment, schools, government, and even religions. They are on a mission. They don't just want equality. They want revenge.

Gratuitous use of non-needed characters. Trying to portray as normal and healthy I suppose.

I’m with #9. I do the same when checking shows. That choice narrowed my selections down, way down. The moment any gayness comes up, I click off.

I dumped Netflix when they gave the Obamas $80 million. I watch ACORN and BritBox. Much better entertainment and no political messages.

Trending Now! Hollywood. There is the main character, who isn't gay but recruits a gay guy to handle all the gay customers at the gas station/male escort service. The gay guy is black as well. He actually falls in love with Rock Hudson. Another main character and his live in girlfriend....he is half Asian (Filipino) but passes for white. His girlfriend is black. They go out and about together. He also is bisexual.
This is supposed to be 1946-1947-ish Hollywood. Everyone in 1946 Hollywood was either black or gay. No message or attempt to normalize behavior there.

The Antichrist (Satan) will use (false) peace to destroy many, all but Gods' very Elect.
With all the problems facing mankind, multitudes are looking for a "savior" to usher in peace and prosperity without moral accountability.
The Antichrist (Satan) will promise the world such a peace if they follow him, and all but Gods' Very Elect will worship The Antichrist. (Satan)
Daniel 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom (deceitful, impious, ungodly, robbers), when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance (Satan, the Antichrist), and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his (Satan's) power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, strong and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft (deceit, impious, ungodly, robbers) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Jesus); but he shall be broken without hand.

I did what many others did. As soon as I read where Netflix gave Obama a 50 million dollar contract I said that was it. That's called a payoff. They paid Obama for the past decisions he made that benefited Netflix in streaming movies over the internet. That was the bribe they couldn't give him while he was acting like a president but not doing the job of a president. Obama is good at one thing, putting hot air balloons in flight with all of his bullsh**. Got it.

Homo Nazis are trying to accomplish in our Courts what they could never accomplish at the polls.
Always remember Genesis 19:
v5. and they (homo mob) called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men (Angels) who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations (homo sex) with them.
:
now the Angels act:
:
v11. They (Angels) struck the men (homos) who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.
Even after the homos were blinded their homo lust was so strong they kept trying to get to the Angels!
In Judeo-Christian teaching, women and men are to remain virgins, until after marriage. Show me a homo willing to wait for marriage before having sex.
God abhors homosexuality. It was a death by stoning offense, per God's Law, so how can ANY so-called Christian clergyman normalize it? Suffice it to say, Jesus warned us of "wolves in sheep's clothing" in our time.
1 Peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Let's have every single person in every Netflix story have an abortion. Every one, men and women and cute dogs as well. It doesn't have to be a touching, troubling, or anguishing plot or subplot, just a throw-away ("OK, but let's take Sally Shih-Tzu for her walk later on in the afternoon today. We're aborting the puppies before lunch.")
Just to signal that we're all OK with the program now.

And I refuse to further corrupt the language by abusing the perfectly good word for happy, for homosexuals.
Sorry, they seem to be mostly so angry that they can barely function, not at all happy.
Homosexual is the term I use, never "gay". It seems some bit more of 'normalization' by using a fake, Newspeak name like "undocumented immigrants" instead of illegal aliens. And if my refusal to use their PC term irritates them a bit, that's a plus.

Pushing the gay thing a bit too hard? Probably the Obamian influence. They get not one red cent from me.
