| [Federalist] We were told that the LGBT movement was about adults — giving everyone equal rights and getting the government out of the bedrooms of consenting adults. But this was a lie; LGBT activists were always coming for the children. Just look at the recent kerfuffle over Netflix. Right-wing influencers and activists have drawn attention to the many Netflix shows promoting LGBT content for very young children (e.g., a cartoon with a little boy putting on a dress to dance for his two dads). Prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Utah Sen. Mike Lee have joined in the denunciations, and the backlash seems to have hurt the company’s stock price. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary dip or whether Netflix is about to take a permanent hit a la Bud Light. What is clear is that Netflix is deliberately grooming kids with LGBT messages. Most attempts to deny this malintent are lies so obvious as to be insulting. The suggestion that Netflix shows are just reflecting or representing reality ("LGBT people exist, get over it") is laughable. If they were just trying to capture reality, there would be a lot more happy, churchgoing evangelical characters on TV. Likewise, if the goal is just to provide representation for misunderstood minorities, why aren’t there more positive portrayals of, say, Latin-mass-attending Catholic families with seven kids? The truth is that Netflix and its peers carefully curate what they include in their offerings — rival Amazon Prime Video is going so far as to scrub guns from the promo pictures for James Bond films. Pretending that Netflix’s content choices are neutral is ridiculous. Thus, the most compelling argument from those defending Netflix is also the honest one: which is to ask why pro-LGBT content shouldn’t be included in kids’ shows — that is, why is it OK for the prince to kiss the princess, but not for the prince to kiss another prince? |
