An anti-LGBTQ+ organization is urging the Trump administration to scrutinize Netflixs childrens content ahead of the streamers proposed merger with Warner Bros.Earlier this month, Concerned Women for America (CWA) released a report on the prevalence of LGBTQ+ themes and characters in Netflixs programming aimed at kids. The seven-page report specifically cites recentX posts from the platforms anti-trans owner, Elon Musk,and from anti-LGBTQ+ activist Chaya Raichiks Libs of TikTok account, highlighting examples of LGBTQ+ content in kids shows on Netflix.

With Netflixs acquisition of Warner Brothers[sic]/Discovery, families must beware that Netflix will be able to expand its irresponsible approach to content moderation for children. Governmentshould make that part of the conversationofthis merger.Nance further called for an outside, independent council thatrepresentsthe interest of parents, reviewing program ratings. As has been widely reported, President Donald Trump has said he will be involved in federal regulators review of the Netflix-Warner Bros. deal, which has drawn widespread criticism. Opponents of the merger, both in the entertainment industry and Congress, say it will result in further media consolidation and job losses, as well as the decimation of the already struggling theatrical distribution market, with Netflix likely to scale back theatrical releases of Warner Bros. movies.At the same time, many see the Netflix deal as the lesser of two evils. Prior to Warner Bros. Discoverys announcement earlier this month that it had accepted the streamers $82.7 billion bid to buy Warner Bros. studios and HBO and HBO Max, Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, son of erstwhile billionaire Trump ally Larry Ellison, had been aggressively pursuing a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery including its cable news operations.A Paramount Skydance deal would have similarly reshaped the entertainment industry and presented all the same regulatory issues as a deal with Netflix, but it would also have brought CNN under the thumb of a Trump ally.Earlier this year, Trumps Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved David Ellisons bid to merge his Skydance Media with CBS parent company Paramount Global after Skydance promised FCC chairman Brendan Carr that the newly merged companies would eliminate all diversity hiring policies and install an ombudsman to review complaints of bias at CBS News. Paramount appointed Kenneth Weinstein, aformer Trump appointee and leader of conservative think tank The Hudson Institute, as ombudsman. And in October, Ellison appointed queer anti-woke journalist Bari Weiss as CBS News editor-in-chief.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
