    with certain corners of the internet going after Headland, who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community

    That’s some odd phrasing. Are they not allowed to say that someone is gay?

    It feels like they are trying to dog whistle something, but I’m not sure what. Or was all the criticism completely unrelated and they are trying to stretch a point?

    [Update]

    I have been educated that this is not an uncommon phrasing to use by someone who is gay.

    Presumably following the motto of a rising tide raises all the ships and they have expressed a preference for their success to be viewed as a success for everyone?

    TIL.

      The producers once alluded that they were being review bombed by conservatives for the acolyte being too woke. Now, that might be true, but, the show also sucked in more than one way, which means there was no one to push back the reviews.
