To not understand why there is so much backlash against kids movies with gay characters these days?

It's all over the place these days, people "outraged", but 10 years ago there were kids movies with gay characters and you'd hear barely a peep.

Watched Happy Feet over Christmas and I'd forgotten the whole B plot was two gay shrimp having a domestic because it wasn't a big deal. Saw Strange World too but all I kept hearing about it was from homophobes throwing tantrums it seems like.

@ShodanLives I believe that @BabyOnBoard90 feels that parents should be free to pass on their bigotry to their children. Which legally of course they are. Whether it is helpful is a debatable point, but then these are likely to be the kind of parents who will not take it kindly should they have a child who turns out to be gay, because they believe it will never happen to them. (And yes, I have someone like this on my late husband's side of the family)

That doesn't answer my question.

I can't help build your comprehension skills unfortunately

And I can't help that you keel giving what you imagine to be other people's views and not their own.

OK

PP was correct I believe. BOB90 is down with parents raising their kids to be bigots because, you know, why would that matter? Let's hope their children or grandchildren (dep on if Bob is her DOB or Age) don't suffer at the hands and mouths of such children and their families if they announce they're gay
