The woke producers of Hollywood are attempting to brainwash children every chance they get…
Amazon Prime’s new Cinderella remake has stirred up some controversy due to the fact the new fairy god mother in the movie is “genderless”.
The fair god mother is being played by Billy Porter who is a biological male and was the first gay actor to ever win an Emmy.
The original script attended the fairy god mother to be a female like she is depicted in the original movie and books but in this new remake the fairy god mother is a male claiming to be genderless because “magic has no genders”.

Business Insider had more on the story:
When Amazon Prime Video’s remake of the classic “Cinderella” story — centered on a girl who falls in love and marries a prince — was first envisioned, the Fairy Godmother character wasn’t genderless.
It wasn’t until Billy Porter nabbed the part that the iconic role changed due to conversations with writer-director, Kay Cannon.
The Emmy Award-winning actor joins the likes of Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, and James Corden in a modern musical retelling of the “Cinderella” fairytale. In this version, Porter plays a genderless version of the Fairy Godmother called Fabulous Godmother or Fab G for short.
“It evolved and the thing that came out of the evolution was ‘magic has no gender,’ so make it genderless, gender-free, gender-fluid whatever you want to say. There is no gender,” Porter, who made history as the first openly gay Black man to win a lead actor drama Emmy, explained.
Cannon told Insider that Fab G was the only character that she wrote for this remake with an actor in mind.
“The actors all came later except for Billy Porter’s part. I typically write with people in mind all the time, that’s kind of my thing,” she admitted.

Deadline got the scoop too:
Emmy, Grammy and Tony award-winning actor Billy Porter is continuing to change and challenge perspectives when it comes to gender norms, this time in Kay Cannon’s forthcoming live-action iteration of Cinderella at Sony. The Pose star is set to play the fairy godmother in the feature, and in a recent interview with CBS he said that he plays the character as genderless.
“It hit me when I was on the set last week, how profound it is that I am playing the Fairy Godmother — they call it the Fab G,” Porter said in his CBS News interview. “Magic has no gender.”
He added that playing the role as genderless is “powerful” and that it is going to be “a classic fairytale for a new generation.”
“This is a classic, this is a classic fairytale for a new generation,” he said. “I think that the new generation is really ready. The kids are ready. It’s the grownups that are slowing stuff down.”
Billy Porter says his fairy ‘godmother’ character in Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella will be ‘genderless’.
