I sense that the gay community is going through collective trauma today over the Sex and the City reboot.

It is just really poorly written and extremely cringey. Almost every scene feels over the top and unrealistic.
It's just disappointing when a beloved show comes back and misses the mark in many ways.

It's a predictable holiday rom com with a great many characters acting terrible and/or off the charts inappropriate.
Which is kind of the point of these movies? Bad holiday rom coms is kind of a genre at this point.
What I'm trying to say is that of course it's bad but if it wasn't bad it wouldn't even be a holiday rom com. I still found it better than most of the holiday rom coms.
It's bad but being bad is what makes it a good holiday rom com.

Will and Grace was like that too.

We've only seen the first episode so far (SATC.) I enjoyed it. I could sit here and pick things apart with pretty much any show, but the emotional gist of it was satisfying.
I loved the comments about the noticeably absent Samantha; I imagine a message in the dialogue for the real life Kim Cattral.
We're dealing with aging actresses with bad plastic surgery, refusal to age gracefully - that part is cringeworthy. The writing - who expected Shakespeare? It's very similar to the original, with the real life acknowledgement that people of their (my) age - once the center of the forward moving parts of society (the forefront of all kinds of equal rights movements, etc.) are now "not woke enough" - not to mention facing our own mortality.

Full schedule is out for Gay Days Orlando 2022. I’m not currently brave enough to set foot in a theme park or on a big dance floor, but depending what happens with the pandemic, maybe that will change in a few months. I’ve also probably aged out of staying at the host hotel at this point, but I never say never…..

It’s also worth remembering that the actresses playing the main characters in the first season of The Golden Girls were younger than the actresses in this thing.

I have to say The Gilded Age may turn into my new guilty pleasure but the reason I'm posting here is there is a gay main character https://time.com/6140300/gilded-age-review-hbo/ well about as main as one can be in an ensemble cast
I see. So Disney wants to profit off our community... but leaves us to the dogs otherwise?

We can't really be surprised can we?
Disney wants to have it both ways by profiting off what they call "inclusion", but supporting those who don't like minorities if it means they get something out of them too. It's sad, but predictable. DLP's upcoming Pride event looks somewhat shallow now.
Would Gay Days Orlando cancel over something like this?

Why Disney Won’t Say Much About Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill
Insiders say CEO Bob Chapek is less willing than predecessor Bob Iger to take public political stands — including on LGBTQ issues and voting rights. The new Disney chief’s rep replies that he “does not bring any partisan agenda to work.”
www.hollywoodreporter.com
"The bill has also drawn calls for a boycott. Dr. Eric Cervini, a gay historian and Pulitzer finalist for his New York Times best-seller, The Deviant’s War, a heavily researched book about pre-Stonewall gay rights in America, beat the drum on Instagram this week. “I AM TIRED OF PRIDE POSERS LIKE DISNEY,” shouted Cervini, calling on supporters to cancel subscriptions to Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ while boycotting the parent company’s Disney Parks, FX, ABC, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars offerings, among others."

No apology for giving to the campaigns of representatives who supported the bill. Sad.
Also, pressure needs to be put on the Human Rights Campaign to rescind its score of 100 it gave to Disney for corporate responsibility.
