    "ParaNorman" movie has first gay animated character.

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywo...ated-character

    My wife took 7 kids to see the new animated movie ParaNorman yesterday. She called me last night and said she had to answer some questions about why one of the guy characters has a boyfriend. In the movie Normans sister has a crush on another character who is a jock. At the end of the movie she asks him out to the movies and he responds "you will love my boyfriend, he loves chick-flicks". My wife said you could hear the parents in the theater gasp.

    I am no homophobe, but I find it pretty dastardly to slip this into a kids movie. I don't think my wife would have taken my kids an their friends to see this movie had she known that scene was in there.

    I took my kids to see it and didn't see it as a big deal.

        The underlying message of this whole movie is tolerance, its kind of funny that people are getting upset about a character that is gay. Its not like it show a kiss, or anything like that, just a mention of a boyfriend.

          I hope this isn't a spoiler, but I am pretty sure Mr. Smithers is gay.

              I don't think my wife would have had a problem with it if it was just our kids. It was my daughters friends who had questions. My wife didn't feel it was her place to educate them.

                    That sounds a touch homophobic to me.

                      It's not homophobic. It's not wanting Hollywood to inculcate values.

                      Is it homophobic to view gay sex as wrong?

                        A little.

                          I feel the same way when Hollywood slips a married heterosexual couple into a movie. Dastardly! Stop inculcating values, Hollywood!

                            I didn't realize the cartoon characters were having gay sex. That's inappropriate for a children's movie.

                              I think fat sex is more disgusting than gay sex

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.
