is based on Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will follow, “Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), a bullied gay teen who joins the Marines with his straight best friend, Ray McCaffey (Liam Oh), in 1990 — a pre-Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell era when being gay in the military could mean jail time or worse.”Legendary producer Norman Lear (All In The Family, Fried Green Tomatoes), is among the executive producers.
