I think, from what I gather, parents are concerned that they're exposing their children to mature concepts that they might not be ready to address with them.
Having an openly gay character does not make it less "family-friendly" though, and to be honest, those with that type of thinking represent an archaic way of thinking that sets society back 50 years.There are also the evangelical Christians out there that like Disney for being "family-friendly" and it might turn some of them off because of their beliefs. That's just some of the backlash I'm seeing.
Exactly!I voted yes, but my children are older and have friends that are gay, so not a big deal to any of us. But speaking as a Christian parent, I would still choose to take my young children to see it as long as it is not openly sexual. As a Christian, I need to raise my children to not judge a person based on their sexuality and if they see 2 men or 2 women together, it is not for us to judge. It is said that almost 5-10% of the population considers themselves to be homosexual. If we were to have a movie with 100 characters and none were gay, we would not be representing the true diversity of the population.
Ok so I just found a clip of the Gaston's song and I've just gotta say that it doesn't seem hidden agenda, sending a message to me. It looks stereotypical flamboyant by the mannerisms and what not. Personally if it wouldn't have been on here and all of the news I would have watched it and afterwards be saying I couldn't believe how flamboyant they made the LeFou character. It's not subtle from the 45 seconds I saw.
Probably because it's easier to hide than to have the courage to support their views.I see as of now 5 people voted "no" but surprisingly no comments representing their views. HMMMMM maybe don't want to answer to the rest of the dis about their backwards views?
Exactly-and for those that will pick up on it, they've probably been taught to be accepting, or that the very least understanding of social norms in 2017.What musical is not going to have someone acting flamboyantly?
My kids (ranging in age 10-4), honestly don't even pick up on stuff like that as being "gay." They honestly see it as flamboyant or funny.

All I did was make a personal observation about what I saw. Nowhere did I say what I thought other adults or children or anyone would see, just ME.
