tigertrapper:
also wow
I recognise some of the people who’re currently shouting loudly and angrily about the possibility of a romance between Holmes and (female) Watson on Elementary, because it’s queer erasure and America hatez teh gayz.
These are the same people who were very vocal in their defence of Moffat after A Scandal in Belgravia, and the same people who said that there was absolutely...

Dear Sherlock fandom,
notophelia:
If you’re really, truly invested in your desire to see Elementary fail, you should be praying for it to actually be good.
On a Big Three network in the U.S., that’s all but an ironclad guarantee of cancellation.

It insinuates that gay couples = messed up children and that men won’t take care of their children unless they are suckered into it by marriage.
PLEASE reblog and share!
You can’t tell how people are doing on the poll page, but still.

welllllllll
in my experience network television rarely ever shies away from homoerotic subtext between two white male...

Nope, it was Chris Rock telling the truth about Hollywood’s racism:
“Chris Rock followed with a racial joke, about black men getting lousy roles even in animated films. It may have been in questionable taste, but it jarred the show closer to modern...
