Christian Leaders Call For Boycott Over Gay Character in Beauty and the Beast

they are upset there isn't a straight male character that grabs women by their #$##$ and walks in on teenage girls undressing .


<On his Facebook page, Reverend Franklin Graham state, “Disney has the right to make their cartoons, it’s a free country. But as Christians we also have the right not to support their company. I hope Christians everywhere will say no to Disney.”

Christian Daily.com reports that Boyce College’s Biblical Studies professor Denny Burk wrote in a blog post he will not let the movie maker inject into his children’s minds the message that “sexual immorality is ‘normal and natural.’”

An Alabama cinema has already pulled its planned screening of the movie. The Henagar Drive-In Theater wrote in a Facebook Post, “When companies continually force their views on us we need to take a stand,” read the post. “If we cannot take our 11-year-old granddaughter and 8-year-old grandson to see a movie we have no business watching it. If I can’t sit through a movie with God or Jesus sitting by me then we have no business showing it. I know there will be some that do not agree with this decision. That’s fine … We will continue to show family oriented films so you can feel free to come watch wholesome movies without worrying about sex, nudity, homosexuality and foul language.”>

I can't wait to see that movie and my girl friends kids I'm taking to see it when my friend and her husband go out to celebrate their anniversary. A lot of kids want to see
It because Emma Watson is in it. It should be a good movie. (Hermione from Harry Potter).

I identify Christianity with pedophile priests, bigoted evangelical Trump voters and hypocrisy these days. It's a tribal identification and nothing else.

These people better pray Hell and demons don't actually exist. Cause if it does they gonna roast for a loooong time
