‘We’re beyond ready for this’: Utah LGBTQ leaders see progress in new CBS drama about a crime-solver who’s gay

“I think we’re ready for this,” said Angie Salot, the director of operations at the Utah Pride Center. “We’re beyond ready for this.”

“This series will give the Eagle Forum another reason to boycott CBS for promoting the homosexual lifestyle — which evidently now includes hunting serial killers,” joked Troy Williams, the executive director of Equality Utah, referring to the conservative interest group led in Utah by Gayle Ruzicka. “How could Gayle oppose that?”

“Instinct” is the latest in a long line of CBS detective/police dramas.It’s about a best-selling author/college professor/ex-CIA operative, Dylan Reinhart (Alan Cumming, “The Good Wife”), who teams up with police detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic) to solve murders.
