Why are parents against this pro-gay INFORMATIVE movie?


Sexual orientation is part of a person, and whatever it is, it CANNOT be changed, not through drugs or chemicals, or indoctrination or anything else, they are BORN with it.

This movie is stirring a lot of controversy, but because it has ORIGINAL characters and not established ones, it doesn't bother me at all. So why be upset because a character you've never seen before is gay?

My guess is that most of the complaints are from those parents who are most likely against sex education for their children in hetero terms, let alone any variations. They're most likely religious in that regard, seeing sex as sin, even masturbation. In that case, there's no hope for them. And since the USA is home to most of these ignorant people, that's easily remedied by overseas audiences.

hahaha! great comedy post. :)

Actually, I'm serious.

oh ok

sounded like it covered both sides at once. which is impossible.

"So why be upset because a character you've never seen before is gay?"

Us people who don't support gay stuff, and are generally REPELLED by it, most of the time, don't want to see it... especially in a "cartoon" aimed at our children. We'd like to know, before going in, if there is controversial stuff in it so WE can expose our children THAT WE MADE to things only we want to expose them to.

We'll continue to teach our kids that gay is wrong based on the simple biological fact of how a vagina and penis operate. There's enough shit out there in the world, we don't need to fuck up their mind about sexuality. It's been straight forward for millions of years, it's never going to change, it will be that way for millions of more years, we never have to accept or normalize it. And we won't.

We won't STOP the 3-6% doing whatever they like, do your thang, but stop with the bullshit recruiting.

reply

Do you honestly think that telling your kids that being gay is wrong would actually prevent them from being gay if they are? It might keep them in the closet until they leave your house, but a person does not choose who they are attracted to.

reply

it's best to teach people properly in life. helps them in the long run. 3% odds.... I'm not worried over it. :D

We've kinda stopped teaching facts, reality, and common sense, and have the 'anything goes' mentality lately.... have you also noticed what a wreck society has become? the line graphs are related.

reply

If it's only 3%, and I do think those numbers are a little low, then don't be worried about it. But how do you teach your kids not to be gay? Like do you threaten them if they feel an attraction to someone of the same sex?

I'm sorry, but I don't really think that accepting gay people and not ostracizing them is why society is deteriorating.

reply

Is the same reason we don't let kids watch porn. I mean why not right? It's all natural.
Parents should be allowed to raise their kids their way.

reply

THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE...WATCHING PORN IS A SEXUAL ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS...BEING GAY IS JUST PART OF WHO YOU ARE. NOEMOJI

reply

You are equating treating people who are gay with acceptance as the same as watching porn??? Are you serious? There is nothing "natural" about the porn industry.

I'm not saying that parents can't raise their kids "their way", but there is a line when it comes to abuse. You still haven't answered how you would teach someone not to be gay? Would you kick your child out? Disown them? Conversion therapy is considered dangerous and abusive, and shown not to work.

reply

no no no no no. not gay acceptance.... talking about kids watching gay kiss in movie. WE want to control access to that - not be in every new DISNEY film. SAME as why we don't let them watch porn - its in the same thing: OUR control. What WE allow, what we don't. We don't want 4% population changing that for the 96%. That makes zero sense.

I can't answer how I would treat my children as it simply doesn't remotely apply in my life.


I'll ask you a similar styled question:

How would you manage trail braking into a reducing radius left turn while racing a 2021 Suzuki GSX-R120 motorcycle on a track?

and don't use GOOGLE ;)

reply

So you don't think there should be kissing in any movie of any kind then? If you accept gays, why is it different to see two men kiss compared to a man and a woman. What is the harm?

I'm assuming you are straight. Does seeing two men kiss make you want to turn gay? If not, why would it do the same to your child?

How would you manage trail braking into a reducing radius left turn while racing a 2021 Suzuki GSX-R120 motorcycle on a track?


This is something that would never apply to me, and I'm not online complaining about it, so I don't see how this is comparable to asking you about how you would stop your kids from being gay. Now you did just say that it doesn't apply to your life, so then I would ask what you are clutching your pearls for? If it doesn't apply to you, why do you keep complaining that you want to be able to control what your kids see?

Also, you can control what your kids see, but why does that mean that a movie that has an openly gay character, who has acceptance from his family, should not be made?

reply

BECAUSE refresh yourself by re reading the topic title.

reply

Nobody is born gay, it is learned behavior due to life experiences. It's no coincidence that boys that were molested by men as children are more likely to grow up 'gay'. No scientific evidence that people are born gay. Stop pushing this false narrative.

reply

>> since the USA is home to most of these ignorant people, that's easily remedied by overseas audiences. <<

Unfortunately for your narrative, it turns out that Strange Turd is doing even WORSE overseas than it is in the USA. It didn't even make a theatrical release in France and went straight-to-video. Even worse for you, several huge countries, including China and Russia, have outright refused to show the movie. And sadly for you, many of those countries refusing to accept the film have a tiny Christian population in the single digits, killing your argument that "the USA is home to most of these ignorant people"

ReelReviews14, when I saw overseas, I don't usually mean those awful nations like China and Russia, I usually mean Europe. I know that Africa and the Middle-East are not tolerant of that shit at all.

And why do you say "sadly for me"? I don't care about this movie, neither. I despise Disney these days.

reply

Punch em in the facts. That's where it always hurts. :)

reply

Because they are only doing it for ECGS reasons. They don't actually care.

reply

It's DISNEY. THAT'S why.

Homosexuality is a mental illness...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_the_DSM

"The activism that resulted in changing the seventh printing of the DSM-II began in earnest in the wake of the Stonewall riots in 1969.[11] Specific protests by gay rights activists against the APA began in 1970, when the organization held its convention in San Francisco.[12] The activists disrupted the conference by interrupting speakers and shouting down and ridiculing psychiatrists who viewed homosexuality as a mental disorder. At the 1971 conference, gay rights activist Frank Kameny, working with the Gay Liberation Front to demonstrate against the convention, grabbed the microphone and yelled: "Psychiatry is the enemy incarnate. Psychiatry has waged a relentless war of extermination against us. You may take this as a declaration of war against you."

reply

Psychiatry is the enemy. I heard that Scientologists want to exterminate all psychiatrists.

reply

If something would destroy humanity if everyone practiced it, then yes it is a mental illness and physically unnatural.

reply

You think that someone will just decide to try having gay sex and relationships just for shits and giggles, or to honestly see what it's like? It doesn't work that way.

reply

There is no scientific evidence that people are born gay. On the other hand, there are many correlations between traumatic life experiences and people growing up to be gay. For example, if someone was molested as a child they are more likely to be gay. Like I said, it's a mental disorder.

reply

"For example, if someone was molested as a child they are more likely to be a child molester themself."

There, fixed it for you.

reply

Both sentences are true. Child abuse victims are more likely to be gay as adults. That says it all. It's a side effect of abnormal life experiences.

reply

Exactly, this is why it is not a lifestyle that should be celebrated or included in movies for kids.

reply

GOOD WORK,MR.SCIENTIST.🤣

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9127231/

"Of 327 homosexual and bisexual men participating in an ongoing cohort study pertaining to risk factors for HIV infection who completed a survey regarding history of sexual abuse, 116 (35.5%) reported being sexually abused as children."

reply

I BET 35% OF EVERYONE SAYS THEY WERE ABUSED.

reply

LOL @ 'I bet'. Such a scientific analysis. Kowalski bets that a statistic is true so we must all assume it is. Idiot.

reply

AS IT TURNS OUT...I WAS RIGHT.

reply

Wow you failed school didn't you? 1 in 13 boys is less than 8%, not 35%. I knew you were a moron but this is embarrassing.

reply

THAT IS 1 IN 13 THAT ADMIT TO IT...OBVIOUSLY THE NUMBER IS ACTUALLY HIGHER.

reply

LOL such insightful scientific analysis.
