Beauty and the Beast
Don't think there's a thread on this yet.
I'm excited for this remake. Got 2 tickets for next Saturday showing at AMC IMAX 3D. Should be a good one. Anyone else going to see this movie? |

Does she even have any? I do like her though and that's part of the reason i'm seeing this movie. That and I like Disney movies.

I always like seeing her in movies, but I'm a single man, so unless a date really wants to see this, it'll probably never happen. |

Apparently some people are pissed that Disney incorporated an openly gay character in this version. ??

I haven't got a clue.... I'm not some people. Just heard it on the radio this morning.

They're innocent...let them enjoy a child like wonder for their child years. It's like everywhere I turn, TV, ads, etc, I'm hit with someone who is gay and I'm supposed to skip through the roses with them and celebrate how wonderful they are. Nope, don't think so. Where are all the "I'm straight" celebrations? Why don't I get some of the public purse to celebrate my lifestyle? At the end of the day, its their choice, and even though I don't agree with that lifestyle, I'd fight for their right to be free from physical / emotional violence because that's wrong. But I don't really see any of that happening anymore...so why do we need to continue making such a big deal about the LGBT community? Keep fairy tales the way they were is generally my perspective. |

No, it's abstinence! That's a better one. And I will sell my kids to slavery to some shoe factory if they even try to make me watch this, the original or ant fucking ice show ever even remotely reminding me of this shit.

This is the US trying to be progressive and show that everyone can be portrayed as equals. I agree with you though. It's everywhere.
I'm partial on whether it should be in a Disney movie or not. Personally I don't pay gay people any different bit of attention IRL than any other person, so in a Disney movie, unless there's two gays kissing..., don't see an issue. There's gay people in real life, there'll be gay people on screen too. Kids will be subjected to it in life regardless. |

My gripe is also the shoving down the throat thing. I mean, it's Disney, it's a classic which didn't feature any openly gay characters previously. So it must be their agenda. Right? Why does Disney have an agenda to force parents to explain to children what same sex preference is? That i don't get, but since i don't have kids, i don't have to watch this; i'm not some people. Instead of an evening watching this, i'll go to the shooting range or something.

Just last night I was ready to go to bed when my boys decided they have a stomach bug. I'm so glad I got to stay up all night basically cleaning everything since their aim is very, very bad. Gotta hand it to them! This one in a year and this one shows real potential in finally driving me insane! I had just done a load of laundry last night, when the tiny boy tried to run to the bathroom and puked on top of the already folded load.i can't even imagine what they are puking since both of them have been ib self inflicted food strike for two days almost. But anyway, don't buy condoms!

Idk if I'd consider same sex preference something that is innappropriate for children.. I mean it should be about as normal as a tradition oriented person at this point and growing up with that portrayed can help reduce the stigma there currently is. And I was active military so I'm admittedly not a PC person lol

So why push the agenda? It's exhausting at this point. And I've got clients who are gay - doesn't bug me in the slightest. Nor do I treat them any differently. But if they asked, I'd tell them that I can't agree with that lifestyle - that's mainly due to my Christian beliefs. Doesn't mean I wish them harm, quite the opposite actually. But I won't compromise my beliefs to be perceived as "tolerant". Which up here apparently seems to really be just one side saying that anyone who disagrees with my opinion must be a hateful intolerant bigot. It certainly is not so. |

^ stigma right there to answer my original posts reply. There very much is a difference in how same sex and mixed sex couples are seen. I have a disproportionate amount of friends and family that are in same sex relationships so maybe I just see it more due to exposure? Who knows but I just don't see why it's so hard explaining that it's no different from why a man and a woman are kissing...

You really shouldn't have to worry about that with a disney film. In my opinion.

You could be right, I just really never thought twice growing up. A lot of my family is from key west and well... they are out there.

My understanding is that Disney was pretty discreet in the portrayal of the "openly gay" character (Le Fou). I think kids aren't going to bat an eye (no different than any other bro-mance they see on TV or on sports teams), and adults will understand the implication. So I don't think there's going to be any need for parents to do any explaining, if they don't want to.
But, of course, I haven't seen the movie yet. |
