The alphabet network hates the gays

SITCOM ABOUT GAY ROCK STAR WON'T AIR
A planned ABC sitcom produced by Elton John and his longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin, about a gay rock star will apparently never see the light of a TV tube. According to Fox News, the show, titled Him & Us, which was to have starred Anthony Head [Ed. Hahaha. You can bet Elton and Bernie had a giggle over that last name] as Max Flash and Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall as his manager Samantha, was not picked up despite initial favorable reaction to the pilot. In an interview with The Stage magazine, Cattrall remarked, "It would have been a great series. Perhaps the subject matter might have been too much for some people."

Call me crazy, but my guess is that the problem is not so much the subject matter, but the fact that it would star this person:
