    With things the way they are in American politics at the moment, ABC couldn’t have picked a better time to premiere the trailer for the their upcoming LGBT rights drama series When We Rise – written by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black.

    As Mike Pence gets gradually closer to the EEOB and Donald Trump continues to toy with the idea of hiring lawmakers who could seriously damage rights for women, ethnic minorities and the LGBT community – 2017 seems like the perfect time to look back at how far we’ve come as a community and how much we could theoretically lose.

    The series, which airs February, charts and dramatises the rise of the LGBT movement in the United States; starting with Stonewall in 1969 and progressing all the way to more recent history with the Supreme Court’s historic marriage equality decision

    It stars the likes Guy Pearce as LGBT rights and AIDS activist Cleve Jones, Whoopi Goldberg as Pat Norman, the first openly gay employee of the San Francisco Health Department and Rosie O’Donnell as Del Martin – one of the founders of the country’s first lesbian organisation.

    Dustin, who is also credited as a director on certain episodes, announced on Monday that after three and a half years of hard work, the show had finally been finished. “And after nearly a full year away I am flying home to be with the love of my life… and to sleep for a week.”
