Gay kissing scenes in kids movies?

There is going to be a gay kissing scene. There is going to be a newly made up side story where a third character who is male gets a gay kiss. Yes, we are all going to have a wonderful time explaining this to our kids. Time for leftists and rightists to slam each other. Let the controversy begin.

Don't see the issue. If you want to ban gay kissing scenes, you have to want to ban all kissing scenes whatsoever.

It's not like Disney are having full frontal gay sex scenes in their movies.

Why is that?

There's no difference between a man and a woman kissing and a man and a man kissing, other than the gender involved.

If you want to ban men and men kissing, you have to also want to ban men and women kissing, because otherwise you're nothing more than an ignorant and prejudiced tool.

Any parent who would allow their child to watch such garbage should have their children taken away.

On most things I don't agree with you but depending on how sexual the kissing scene is I think that may very well be a very good attitude.

Looks like you are agreeing with me here and I appreciate that, but I I don't even like to think about the topic, it's disgusting and perverted to be putting in in children's faces in entertainments aimed specifically at children. It's mental molestation, perverts making the material drooling at the thought of how they will influence children....it should be outlawed.....

I guess it depends on the kind of kiss. Typically it really depends on the movie as well. At the age my children are I wouldn't let them watch something that focuses on kissing but there are a few where it's done tastefully. I care about as much as gays kissing in front of my children as I do heterosexual couples.

You are justifying such a disgustful thing.

I will have a heart attack when i see you in heaven.

Most excellent. Something to look forward to then. I do hope you exaggerate it and clutch your chest. Since you can't die I expect a good deal of acting.

You can call me to rip your heart off.

We'll have lots of time, after all.

If that's what is appropriate in the story intended for kids, then so be it.

Perhaps not... Let's just say that it shouldn't go rather passionate. Preferably less than what a heterosexual kiss would be in the same scene.

I don't think they should want to freak out people from the movie.

The issue I see are the people in the religious crowd saying the left is just trying to push the gay agenda, and it's the use of that phrase that bothers me. I'm not going to argue if there's an agenda because of course there is, but I think there is some confusion as to what it is. The religious right wants to believe it is to teach children being gay is the right thing to do and to try to convince children to be gay. Truth is it's just a matter of teaching people (not just children) that it is normal. That's it, just trying to get people to understand there's nothing wrong or unnatural about it.

As far as this movie is concerned, Josh Gad (LeFou) stated the scene in question is subtle, but important. I won't know exactly what it means until I take my family to see it, but it seems it's not going to be anything one would consider "in their face".

Another argument I have heard about this is that there's no reason to have such sexual activity in a children's movie. Fact of the matter is for decades Disney has had people kissing in their movies and no one has had an issue about it, so a kiss between two men shouldn't be an issue either.

Mind manipulation. They are interfering in the mind majurity process of kids. They are telling them what to accept before they even get a chance to think for themselves at a matured age.

All Of these things are the handwork of Satan. his agents among us polluting the system.

How can a sinful by nature body resist this.

Canal minds.

Something parents and society do all the time. Of course there are differences but I guess the main thing is, parents can choose to NOT take their child to see the movie.

Meh. So what. I have two infant boys and I'm not afraid of them seeing a gay kiss.

Tell me, why is society NOT worried if the story has a brief reference to death, murder, theft, etc, but if our kid might see a gay kiss we need a special discussion about it?

Hey, if instead it was a scene where one kid knocked the tooth out of the other kid, what then? Is that more wholesome than a kiss?

You have a good point but I think it depends on how sexual the scene is. How sexualized are the characters during the scene? The case may be that they are overly sexualized.

Could be.

Could also be that no matter how sexual that kiss is it's still not as disturbing as a scene of bullies beating up a kid, which is not at all uncommon to depict.
