This is stupid as hell and totally untrue. It's a factoid because while it may seem like the gay scenes are making people tune out... the same gay seems made people tune in earlier this year. Y'all making it seem like Empire JUST now starting having gay scenes. Um, remember Empire's very first episode opened with TWO men kissing on national tv and they kissed again and again and again. Shit lesbians were on the first season with Teyana and the white chick.
If people are over Empire it's because too much is going and and the shit is not making sense not because of the gayness. 50 can shut up because if Power was on Fox, it still wouldn't be on Empire's level.
ETA: The Shade Room is trashy. It's another Media Take Out.
