I think their new show is their way of saying "we are not racist homophobes". Agreed. But I'm thinking that Disney chooses business above ideology.

I'm thinking it's more of a "We are diverse!We are good! Keep watching!" Yeah, I'm not gonna watch it, but I hope it succeeds. I'm probably going to watch on whatever platform that isn't TV because that's just how I roll when things aren't Once or Game of Thrones. I'll see how it is and see how successful it is. I actually think A & E are good writers and stuff, but I'm interested in if the extra producer-guy or the writing staff will make the biggest difference. (No offense to the ONCE writers, who are phenomenal).
