Breitbart: Gay Filmmakers Target Children
From an entry on Breitbart today:
You knew it was only a matter of time before the gay community, which has successfully integrated gay characters into every possible form of entertainment for adults, targeted children. Now, for the first time, an American animated feature features an openly gay character.
Laika's stop-motion animated zombie comedy "ParaNorman" has a character named Mitch, who is, of course, a heavily-muscled jock who seems heterosexual until the end of the movie, at which time a girl named Courtney asks him if he wants to see a movie. Sure, he says, youll just love my boyfriend, whos into chick flicks.
Its a time-honored technique of the gay community to hide the fact that a character is gay until the audience has developed a real affinity for him/her, then catch the audience off-guard by divulging that the character is gay. If they really were brave theyd announce from the start that Mitch was gay and see just how many parents would take their children to see this movie.

(16,862 posts)That's exactly what I thought. Not "oh, let's make him obviously gay so that people can decide they don't want to deal with it right away" instead of getting to know the person and letting them develop feelings. Then crush them out like some insignificant insect.
