Would you let your kids watch a gay-themed animated feature?

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?

I know I'm only feeding the troll, but yes. I'd even let my kid watch The Little Trans-Mermaid.
 
Hell no, I would not. The last thing I need is to have my gay son growing up with the crazy notion that it is OK to lust after a straight buddy and that things will somehow magically work out that the buddy will become gay just because my son wants him to. I'd rather him grow up to understand the truth that just because you want something does not mean it WILL happen. You can try, but life doesn't always give you what you want. :p

I think the vast majority of people grow up with all these love stories, and love songs that just talk about people meeting and being in love (under completely ideal circumstances, no less). . .and then the story just ends there.

No love story/song makes the point that falling in love is only the beginning of a relationship, and that you have to struggle to make it work. . .or that the feeling of intense lust wears off after awhile. People go into relationships with completely unrealistic expectations, so I think that's a huge reason why so many relationships break up.
 
A Disney style animated movie....yes...of course....Disney is so main stream...they would not do it unless they did it in a main stream....child friendly way. It is good for children to be aware of the variety of people there are in this world. It should not be hidden from them.

There are many children that learn about gay people, transgendered people, etc., from a very young age. And this is a good thing. :)

I would not want my (imaginary) children to see a fucked up intimate relationship with a gay man and a straight man. That is not healthy...it is just dysfunctional.

And exploitative sexual acts, that is another story. That of course should not be for children.
 
Ratatouille, about a boy who grows up feeling different from everybody else, who spars with his father, who doesn't understand him?

A boy who's more creative and sensitive than most? Who tastes things his "normal" brethren don't notice?

Who is shown graphic images of beings like himself who are killed for who they are?

Who has to learn to accept himself for what he is, and not reject himself because his peers do?

That doesn't sound like a gay story to you?
