people of the conservative persuasion tend to feel "cheated " when they find out a character is gay, during the film or TV show.

Who knows what quacks nutty parents have found to determine their 4-year-old is gay, but I'm sure it's all to make the family feel "special".

Telling me that Babe the pig was actually gay doesn't make me feel cheated, it only illustrates how desperate people are to push some goofy agenda.

I'm pretty sure Elsa is a lesbian though.

It is truly a shame that kids are not allowed to be kids any more.
What exactly is "adult" about having a gay character in a movie?

Im talking about you walking into a movie and seeing a character kiss a same sex character, not some after the fact " oh, by the way Dumbledore was gay, i just never gave him a love interest" line.

I didnt see the movie.

How do you know this? Was she in a softball league or did she attend a Melissa Ethridge concert?

I don't care if two men kiss in a movie or on a tv show. Gay men kiss, no biggie.

I just laugh at them "outing" characters for either shock value or as a "in your face" agenda move.

Basically this, imo.

The crap isn't like something shocking anymore. It hasn't been in 20 years now. I think the only people who get "outraged" by LGBT people these days are super southern redneck hicks that probably have homo feelings repented inside.

Agreed. Nearly 5% of the US population identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. Heavens to Betsy Disney makes a movie that represents and reflects the population that it makes movies for. Good for Disney.
