Will Showtime's "House of Lies" Tell the Truth About Gender Variant Kids?

Tuesday January 3, 2012

There's a new LGBTQ character coming to television that I haven't seen much coverage of yet—and because the character is a gender-variant child, I'll take up the cause of spreading some awareness here at this parenting blog.

Showtime's new comedy series, House of Lies, which starts this Sunday, stars Don Cheadle as a "charming, fast talking" business consultant. Cheadle and his team of MBAs "are playing America's 1 percent for everything they've got. They put the con in consulting as they charm smug, unsuspecting corporate fat cats into closing huge deals, and spending a fortune for their services."

Sounds funny—more so because my brother is a business consultant—but a read through the character descriptions on Showtime's site reveals that Cheadle's character's young son is gender variant.
