Absolutely, this is well known for gay content being inserted into shows. The goal is social engineering, to accustom people to seeing gays more often in every aspect of life (even though they are very small in occurrence in reality) so as to promote the homosexual agenda, to gain open acceptance of such. This is not a secret that the entertainment industry does this.

Well, if he's old enough to remember music from the year 1990, he or she might also think the cartoon cat in the Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" (1990) is a subtle way to tell children bestiality is all right - or at least that's what I'd conclude were I to believe that sexual orientation is so malleable that continuous exposure to outside messages can change one's orientation


Also, if a person chooses their orientation, then explain to me why there are GLBT even in the most conservative parts of the country. Don't you think that if you choose sexual orientation, a lot of Gen-Xers (I'm early Gen X) and Boomers would have chosen to be 100% heterosexual, given the vicious contempt GLBT got back in those days in those areas? Hell, even as late as the mid to late 80s, the notion of gay civil rights was positively bizarre in Northeast Louisiana ("You want me to support your right to stick WHAT in somebody else's WHAT?").

So if someone could choose to be GLBT, then that implies they chose to not only greatly decrease their social standing to outcast/pariah status even though they could have avoided all that scorn, ostracism, perhaps even death threats. That just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

So yeah, sexual orientation doesn't seem to be a choice.

But you honestly think that it's some nefarious plot. SMH.

You do realize this says volumes about the way YOUR mind works, right?

It is not a secret, GLAAD openly admits to promoting such, the head of FOX entertainment was on camera explaining how they use TV content to social engineer behavior in society.

It isn't a guess, a speculation, it is a fact that has been openly admitted.

Well thus far all the noise about the gay thing has failed to hurt a box office.

I hope it stays around for a few weeks. I want to see it, but I want to see it with my daughter, and she is out of state. We watched the animated version a jillion times when she was a toddler.

Remember when our parents made a fuss about gay themes in cartoons? No? Are whiny conservatives a new thing?

The hubby dragged me to see that movie tonight. Nicely done movie.

As for the gay moment, it was seriously nothing. Just two guys shown ballroom dancing at the end for a second. It wasn't like it was 10 minutes of gory gangbang buttsex, or whatever nonsense anti-lgbt people think gay men are all about. It was so fleeting that I actually missed it because I briefly looked away to grab a tutti frutti jellybean lol. I was annoyed to miss the 0.5 seconds that apparently caused so much hubbub.
