I have a question...
What if Disney, or some other studio, decided to make an animated feature of a gay-themed fairy tale?
Would you allow your children to watch it? Why or why not?
If it had a plot like The Little Mermaid, but the protagonist is a boy who dreams about being a girl, then I wouldn't let my kids watch it. I wouldn't want them getting confused about their gender identity.
But if it were a love story where a male is in love with another male, who is apparently straight, then I think I'd let my kids watch it. I'd want them to see that being with someone of the same gender is completely okay. And I think, whether they grow up to be straight or gay, a movie like that would help condition them to be accepting of potential friends struggling with their sexuality when they get older.
How many years do you think it will be before Disney decides to make an animated feature about a gay protagonist?
