LGBTQ characters in 'Star Wars' & black women in James Bond movies has former Trump official in silly outrage

The possibility of LGBTQ characters in the upcoming 'Star Wars' movie has former Trump official Seb Gorka upset. 

I've never been a fan of Star Wars movies (shut up), but the upcoming chapter of the series, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, has people excited by a number of reasons including the following from the New York Daily News:

J.J. Abrams’ latest “Star Wars” offering may have finally adapted to modern times. During an interview promoting the upcoming film, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” on Tuesday, the filmmaker teased that there will be LGBT+ representation. While some fans have hoped for a gay romance between Finn and Poe (played by John Boyega and Oscar Isaac) , nothing has quite materialized as of yet. But Abrams, who said that he’s always tried to find a cast that “looked more the way the world looks than not,” isn’t ruling out the possibilities. “In the case of the LGBTQ community, it was important to me that people who go to see this movie feel that they’re being represented in the film,” he said.

Knowing how conservatives and the anti-LGBTQ industry are, I'm sure that they will be milking the fake outrage teat for all its worth. Remember how they flipped out over a gay character in Beauty and the Beast?

And apparently one has started early with this probably soon-to-be overblown drama.

Former Trump official turned radio host and all-around posing pseudo-intellectual fraud Seb Gorka decided to get a headstart on the hand wringing hysterics. And he even made time to whine about James Bond being a woman (which is inaccurate on his part. The trailer of the new James Bond movie also features another double 0 spy, who happens to be a black woman. If you ask me, I think that's what's grinding Gorka's gears):




Transcript:  
SEBASTIAN GORKA (HOST): James Bond is now a woman, and she's black. Are you ready for it? 007 has gone intersectional. And they're going to destroy Star Wars as well, we have the statement from J.J. Abrams that Star Wars is going to go LGBTQ. Well, you know, if you couldn't destroy the franchise already, let's destroy it a little bit more. The last installment of the Star Wars saga would include a member from the trans -- is it trans? 
 Let's just say the alphabet soup community. James Bond. Have you seen the trailer? Watch the trailer, and then ask yourself if you disagree with this statement. I sent the trailer, the link to the trailer to my best buddy in the UK, who is a massive James Bond expert. This is the view of a man who knows his James Bond. "This trailer looks entirely generic. The villain of the piece is actually the Phantom of the Opera."  
And that's not a joke. He's wearing a half-mask, just like the musical villain. And then a black, female 007 -- give me a break. When will Hollywood stop pandering to the SJW crowd? That's the question. Today, I think we have the evidence, the final evidence, from impeachment to Hollywood, of how stupid the left has become.

Good grief, Seb. You shouldn't worry yourself over such matters. There is nothing wrong with a little diversity in motion pictures. And anyway, Star Wars and James Bond are both fiction, albeit still more genuine than your posing, supposed intellect, and annoying accent.
