Dustin Lance Black is addressing the criticism his new show When We Rise is facing from the conservative alt-right members.

The 42-year-old director and producer spoke about the “attacks” his show about the gay movement is facing from online critics while at the 2017 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour at the Langham Hotel on Tuesday (January 10) in Pasadena, Calif.

“This show is not a war,” Dustin said. “We are not against anyone. Every single person in this world is a minority in one way or another. It just depends on how you slice the pie. And this show tells us how we are related.”

The alt-right community is associated with the conservative movement associated with racisim, bigotry, and white nationalism.

“I’m not entirely surprised,” Dustin said. “We know that history is not a straight line. We know that history is a pendulum. I knew this kind of moment might happen. I’m grateful for ABC’s courage. I’m grateful for everyone up on the stage and all the artists that helped make this, because I do think it’s a necessary conversation to have right now.”

When We Rise premieres Monday, February 27 on ABC.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black has written every episode of the upcoming event series When We Rise for ABC and the first trailer has been released!

The seven-episode mini-series stars Guy Pearce, Mary-Louise Parker, Rachel Griffiths, Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O’Donnell, and more. It is set to premiere in February.

When We Rise chronicles the personal and political struggles, set-backs and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today. The period piece tells the history of the gay rights movement, starting with the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

Also in the cast are Carrie Preston, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jonathan Majors, and young Broadway talent Emily Skeggs and Austin McKenzie.

“After 3.5 years of hard work by so many dedicated souls, I’m thrilled to share the first trailer for #WhenWeRise,” Dustin wrote on Facebook.

Mary-Louise Parker gets ready to take a bow during the opening night curtain call of her brand new Broadway play Heisenberg held at The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on Thursday (October 13) in New York City.

The 52-year-old actress then switched into a dress to attend the opening night after party at Copacabana alongside her co-star Denis Arndt, and her family – mother Caroline Louise Morelli Parker, son William Atticus Crudup and daughter Caroline Aberash Parker.

In Heisenberg, amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, Georgie (Parker) spots Alex (Arndt), a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a life-changing game – The play is set to run through December 11!

Billy Crudup broke up with Mary-Louise Parker back in 2003 when she was pregnant with their son so that he could be with Claire Danes, and now she’s commenting on the split for the first time.

Mary-Louise is briefly discussing the split in her new memoir “Dear Mr. You,” though she never explicitly mentions Billy or any of her other exes by name.

Claire recently opened up about the scandal for the first time as well.

In the book, Mary-Louise wrote a chapter titled “Dear Mr. Cabdriver” and talked about being driven to a pregnancy check-up by a driver who got lost, causing her to have a little emotional breakdown in front of him.

“Sh-t, goddamn. I mean, why, I mean why the hell-NO! Where are you going now? This is still wrong,” she screamed at him (via an excerpt on Jezebel).

“Miss, do not swear to me,” the cab driver responded in calmly manner. Mary-Louise kept on screaming and the driver eventually kicked her out of the cab and told her, “I don’t want you anymore.”
