Seriously I don’t see the point in this they will lose money cause people won’t want to watch because it makes them feel uncomfortable and it goes against people’s beliefs, be banned in other countries cause they don’t like seeing it and continue with the war between the lefts and the conservatives. It just sucks the joy of what made Disney what it is an escape from reality. It just makes me sad 😞
Including people of color is against your beliefs…? I realize you most likely meant LGBTQ+ content, but either way, people of all walks of life exist, even if you’re uncomfortable with us.
You are wrong. Disney is indoctrinating and, dare I say, grooming. The only diversity for Disney these days is is in skin color and not in thought. Sad.
Reminder: There’s always been a lot of lgbtq people. Most of us died during the aids crisis. That’s why you think we’re popping up all of a sudden. We aren’t new. Neither is your bigotry.
If by regular folks, you mean bigots, then it may be a while. And yes ‘bigot’ is the correct word.
“a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”
Really? Because I am glad that the young people in my life will have a greater chance to see themselves represented on screen. I don’t have kids, but if I did, I’d want them to know that I would always champion and cherish them, and that any way they live their lives, I just want them to be safe and happy. So I guess we both have things to be happy about.
What are you going on about? We all agree token diversity is bad, but having good characters that so happen to be gay and non white is not a bad thing.
The Disney executive that had their audio leaked about putting more gay stuff in programing was not blowing smoke. They are indoctrinating. They are trying to make the exception the rule. Only 2 to 3% of the population is gay. The ones I know just want to live their lives and do not want to indoctrinate. Activists are the problem. My family will not watch any of this stuff.
You know what I wholeheartedly disagree with half of the people commenting here, The Owl House and Amphibia are and will be two of the best series since The Mystery Shack and I’m not going to argue other wise it’s a shame that such great shows get canceled before they’ve had a proper run if I had the funding I would buy the rights to The Owl House get Dana and everyone who worked on the show and we’d go to a different network to keep the show going like it deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are many kids who have same sex parents. Do you actually feel that these kids shouldn’t be allowed to see their family life depicted in stores? They love their parents and know no other lifestyle. Should they be made to feel bad about what they have no control over?
Heterosexual families have been depicted majority of the time so why not do the same for everyone?
Using your same argument, Did you ever think to consider that maybe, just maybe all heterosexuals were indoctrinated to their lifestyle through only seeing those relationships for their entire life?
It wasnt an audio leak, and they were only talking about adding more non hetero couples in their content. There was nothing malicious behind it. Tucker Carlson is a fear monger and not a source to get your news from.
I think children will be confused and influenced. They need to decide for themselves when they are old enough to make that decision. There is no reason for Disney or anyone else trying too influence children’s sexuality. We won’t be watching.
Are you sure about that? Why does one of Disney’s executives have two LGBTQ children; the same one who admitted to having a “gay agenda” for Disney media? It seems to me there is a reason for this.
Go back to the entertainment of the 60’s and 70’s.
There is no need to make shows and movies, targeting or bringing into the lime light any sexual preference.
HERE YOU LEAVE TODAY AND ENTER THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY, TOMORROW
I keep repeating this!! This is how Disney started and keeping family values, and no prejudice against sexual or cultural organizations ,not exploiting them in merchandising or feature films.
Return Disney to the PG ratings, and leave the other shows to companies to produce. Split Disney’s Hulu for those type of movies.
Look at Movies that do the best in Ratings over the years, seems to be the PG type family movies!
Amen! I’m so tired of the forced diversity and woke inclusion. This is nothing more than a bunch of perverts who have too much decision-making power pushing their woke ideology onto children who are too young to be introduced to this. It’s definitely grooming. There’s no reason kid’s movies and shows need to have lgbt characters propped up as the heroes because of their sexual preferences. The lgbt community makes up a very very small percentage of the population and it’s just not reality forcing them into every show or movie. The only reason kids and teens are questioning their sexuality these days is because of all this nonsense. Women were made for men and men for women. Period.
Disney has always portrayed sexual preference. There has always been princes and princesses. Sleeping beauty? Cinderella? Beauty and the Beast? The only difference is that back then they didn’t show the whole range of common relationships, they only showed heterosexuals. People who just want to keep seeing the same all white heterosexual characters and recoil at any diversity are clearly letting their bigotry show.
It is very “me me me everything must be about me.”
Back then it was very hard for non-white, non-straight people to get things on screen, that is why it was that way back in the 60s and 70s. Now society is more permissive but all that is happening is people telling more of their own stories in media.
And people are throwing an absolute fit. I am much older than this age bracket but have watched this show out of curiosity and the romance people are throwing a fit over is just as tame as any heterosexual romance I’ve seen in other Disney media. They mostly just hold hands and kiss on the cheek. I think there is 1 (chaste) kiss on the lips iirc and it is more tame than some other Disney kisses.
For instance, Aladdin and Jasmine use visibly use tongue in their kiss scene! How is it more appropriate that children see tongue-kissing?
Gay /= somehow more adult.
Adult is adult so it depends on how adult the romantic contact is. There are some Disney movies with more adult romantic contact and some have adult jokes! The third Aladdin has Genie say “I thought the Earth wasn’t supposed to move until the honeymoon.”
Blushing and handholding is much tamer than innuendos about sex.
If Disney wants me to change the way I feel about the LGBTQ community then they need to stop this trash they’re pulling and let Owl House continue.
They say according to some idiot who deserves to be homeless says it doesn’t fit with the brand but yet they continue to add more and more LGBTQ content? Something is wrong with this picture.
Owl House TRULY deserves so much more than what Disney gives it. Either cater to all including Owl House or none at all.

You don’t see the purpose of inclusionary programming? Programming that shows all races equally? Really?
Noah

Walt
Disney is hell bent on teaching kids they should be gay. Whatever happened to Disney being a place for everyone?
Plot Twist: there’s many more regular folks out there just living life, when do we get a movie or “story” again?
Grey
Disney is not. Disney is trying to show kids that they live in a world where they can be themselves and shouldn’t have to worry about people like you.
AH

So like gay people cramming their lifestyle down our throats…… seems a lot of hate and bigotry comes from them…
Denise
So disappointed and glad my girls are older now and don’t have to deal with all this twisted perversion

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. You refuse to see.

Can't do any better
Put the kid in front of Lion King. It has at least 3 gay characters, so your diversity is there. It even has a Mexican.
AH
Total bs.
Johnson

Sean
At the same time being white is horrible. That’s racist too.
Noah
Absolutely nobody thinks this. Go back to Fox News.
Oppressed
We’re not all as oblivious as you. Whites and especially white men are the target of large-scale discrimination and have been for decades.

THE OWL HOUSE FOR LIFE

Yes!! Keep owl house running. I fell in love with this show. It has a cute teenage story. I agree with the OWL HOUSE FOR LIFE!

Not really
There are also plenty of families with abusive parents, should that be put in movies so they can be included?
Also, if we’re being literal, no children have same sex parents. That is biologically impossible.
Johnson
It wasnt an audio leak, and they were only talking about adding more non hetero couples in their content. There was nothing malicious behind it. Tucker Carlson is a fear monger and not a source to get your news from.
Not Tucker Carlson
She literally says it is her gay agenda. You aren’t convincing anyone with this spam.
Angela White
I think children will be confused and influenced. They need to decide for themselves when they are old enough to make that decision. There is no reason for Disney or anyone else trying too influence children’s sexuality. We won’t be watching.
Johnson
No kid will see a semi romantic relationship between two same sex characters and go “Mommy mommy I want to be gay!”
Gay Agenda
Are you sure about that? Why does one of Disney’s executives have two LGBTQ children; the same one who admitted to having a “gay agenda” for Disney media? It seems to me there is a reason for this.
Noah
May I ask, what fictional couple made you decide to be straight? And how old were you when you were *exposed* to these matters?
Angel
I love The Owl House 🦉
CRT
I hope they keep this nonsense on Disney+. We will never subscribe to this service.

I am not religious, but hell is real whether you like it or not. Mankind didn’t create the cosmos so who are we to say it can’t exsist?

Thank you, Em! I agree,The animal kingdom has countless examples of homosexual behavior, so it’s as “natural” as anything else!
Animals
Animals regularly kill each other, eat their children, and commit genocides. Is this the defense you want to stick to?
