LGBTQ outlet demands HBO cancel Bill Maher over gay jokes, says he ‘has gone too far’

May 28, 2022 | | Print Article

Looks like comedian Bill Maher has finally “gone too far” for the left as an LGBTQ advocate is calling for HBO to cancel his show.

LGBTQ news outlet the “Advocate” published a piece on Wednesday written by founder David Kilmnick that took extreme exception with the HBO host’s joking about the gay community, demanding a boycott of the network until Maher’s show is removed.

Kilmnick proclaimed that he “has spent over three decades fighting for the rights of our LGBTQ+ communities, particularly safe spaces for our youth,” but recent jokes by Maher feel “like 1993 all over again.”

Last week on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” the progressive comedian took direct aim at the LGBTQ “trend” he asserts has become prevalent among young Americans.

“If something about the human race is changing at a previously unprecedented rate, we at least have to discuss it,” Maher noted in his monologue. “Broken down over time, the LGBT population of America seems to be roughly doubling every generation.”

“Less than 1% of Americans born before 1946, that’s Joe Biden’s generation, identify that way, 2.6% of Boomers do, 4.2% of Gen X, 10.5% of Millennials, and 20.8% of Gen Z, which means if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054,” he quipped to laughter.

Kilmnick by all accounts was not amused.

“I’m just saying that when things change this much this fast, people are allowed to ask, ‘What’s up with that?'” Maher stated.

Then he went into statistics concerning children who have transitioned which has reportedly hindered their bone density development and fertility.

“We’re literally experimenting on children,” he remarked, “but logic tells you there’s going to be problems.”

“This isn’t just a lifestyle decision, it’s medical,” Maher charged. “Weighing trade-offs is not bigotry.”

To say the least, Kilmnich was not happy with the jokes or Maher’s valid point in the matter. He called his comments “harmful, homophobic and transphobic” before asserting that the comedian took “potshots at LGBTQ+ youth” during his monologue.

“Back in 1993, I would chalk this up to ignorance and truly believed education would help folks to critically think and change, and it did. But today is different, and the alarm bell is ringing — loud! The onslaught of attacks legislatively and in the media against our community goes well beyond ignorance; it is hateful, purposeful, and intentional. We need to wake up and be smart in our fight, as all our LGBTQ+ youth need us now more than ever,” Kilmnick heatedly wrote before proceeding to call for Maher’s cancellation by HBO.

“We need to speak up and hold everyone accountable, even those who purport to be ‘liberal and progressive.’ That’s why I am calling for the LGBTQ+ community and supporters of LGBTQ+ youth to boycott HBO until ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ is removed from its platform,” Kilmnick stated. “Maher has gone too far.”

“The LGBTQ+ youth are the ones who are really suffering from being told that it is a trend to say you are LGBTQ+, while at the same time being shoved and kicked in school hallways, and HBO must take immediate action and remove Bill Maher and simultaneously take action to let every LGBTQ+ youth know they are loved,” he posited. “The consequences of not doing anything can be deadly.”

Kilmnick added that “LGBTQ+ youth are perfect just the way they are — they need no fixing.”

“Call on HBO now to take immediate action and remove ‘Real Time’ from its lineup. Maher has simply gone too far,” he concluded.

  1. We should see a decline in population(thus fixing global warming) until someone figures out how to REALLY get men pregnant! Maybe this is all part of Joe’s “green new deal!”

  2. Maher’s way off on his numbers. For many years, it has been well known that 15% of the population is GAY! Nowhere near his 1%. That makes him a comedian?

  5. Because the LGBTQ folks can not debate a decent point against the merits of Bill Maher’s graph. It is no joke. If people are born in the wrong body, why is there a disproportionate percentage born in CA than in OH? Why is the percentage of population of people born like this surging into double digits when the boomers only had 3%? It is inexplicable that all these people are “born” this way in these particular States over the past 2 decades. Once again, left can not argue the point on its own merit so they attack the spokesman. This time it happens to be Maher. A lone voice of reason out of Hollyweird. Maher also says he did not leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left him.

  6. I’m no fan of Bill Maher, but the alphabet people have jumped the shark.

  7. I get paid more than $90 to $100 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily $21k from this without having online working skills . Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site…
    Here is I started.…………>> http://www.Netcash1.com

  8. If anyone has gone too far it is this tiny minority of sexual freaks. They should be happy they live in a place that tolerates their perversions and gives them the freedom to change the channel.

  10. Bill did it now, it’s ok to pick on conservatives, Jews, Christians etc… But don’t dare say anything about dems, left or lgbt…. or you must be canceled!

  12. Not to hammer the point but these people cannot take a joke. Get over yourselves.

  14. If he’s not queer enough for you then don’t watch him . SIMPLE ! Now leave the rest of us alone !

  15. If you are a faggot, you must remove your sense of humor and send it to the nearest gay bar.

  16. AIDS was spread mostly due to same sex intercourse. Now, Monkey Pox explodes due to homosexual parties. What’s next?

  17. This has nothing to do with the LGB community. They are the ones who fought for decades to simply be recognized and acknowledged. That has been achieved and LGB persons have the same rights as the rest of us. I don’t know anyone conservative or otherwise that has a problem with the LGB community, including Christians.
    The TQIA+ folks are trying to ride on the coattails of the true civil rights pioneers. They are hurting the LGB community. By attempting to dictate to the world how they should react to such an extreme position, ignoring all biological facts, opting for feelings instead. Feelings which seem to change daily,. They also persist in doing so in a violent and confrontational way.

    If someone “feels” they are a certain thing, bully for them. Doesn’t make it true. People who “identify” as some kind of “other”, need to learn to adapt to the world around them. Not expect the world to change for them.

    If gender doesn’t exist, except as a “social construct” then sexual orientation, sexual preference, heterosexual, homosexual doesn’t exist either.

    I think the national LGB Organization needs to take back their own movement and let the TQIA+ folks create their own organization.

  18. The problem is what Maher said was so true, that’s what they are taking offense at. They’re grooming pre-schoolers for Pete’s sake. Wanna bet unless the population rises up against this nonsense, it” happen before 2054

  19. Let’s all manufacture a make-believe hater and then hate them for their supposed hating. That’s the way the “progressives” operate. Why aren’t they satisfied with quilting or maybe Bean Babies?

  20. I don’t (and never have) know anyone who hates or fears gays. We don’t even think about them except when they’re shrieking like someone ripped their tutus about madness like this. Then we we find them mildly comical, shrilly annoying and physically repulsive but immediately forget about them again. But the delusional mentally ill trannys are dangerous. They pervert young ignorant confused minds and attempt to convince them to physically mutilate themselves, shame and degrade themselves for life. They all belong in mental institutions. Their high suicide rate may eventually deal with the problem but not quickly enough. The reason that sexual deviants demand that the rest of us give them positive affirmation is because they know that they’re freaks and desperately need normal people to reassure them. To hell with all of them. Back in the 80s and 90s when gays were tres chic and being glorified as if they were wonderful, a lot of people warned about ‘a slippery slope’ to complete degeneracy. The poofters and their partisans all sneered and giggled at that notion. When even a far left California liberal like Maher says that it’s gone too far, you know that we’re in really serious trouble.

  21. Grow up pansies. The world does not run on your feelings. Your mental illness must be treated.
