    This was your claim. You took on the burden of supporting such a far reaching claim and admitted to having no support from professionals in the field. You bit off more than you can chew, so instead of fighting the losing battle you started, you tried to flip it around as if those who challenge your weak claim must submit proof you are wrong.

    Since being right is so important to you, it can be said that everyone has mental issues from time to time, so based on that assumption, you are right by default. Congratulations!

    Don't you understand, the reason why they don't is that there is a conspiracy of...god knows who...bent on...god knows what...to subsue and sensor any of the science that affirms his op...um...states the so called "obvious facts" regarding homosexuality?

    What is next? I suppose you are going to tell me the earth isn't flat, or that the moon landing wasn't staged.

    Don't you understand that when somebody days something with absolute confidence it must be real?

    who gives a **** lmao. I only see conservatives talk about this anymore and they always act like they're victims of what? A correct labeling? Yes, this is by definition bigoted. Its also retarded in terms of business and these owners are clearly only seeking attention. Like most red they are only pretentious to serve themselves and when they get called out theyre "Under attack"

    Most Disney films, maybe all Newer Disney films, Nowadays anyway, are crapola anyway.....
    CGI crap, zero life, yucky plots......

    Censorship of any kind, However, is indeed Objectionable.

    Im curious as to why this is being discussed. It's a movie theater. Can't they refuse to show any movie they want?

    Sure, like refusing to show movies with Black Folks, or other Races etc......
    Bigotry is just plain wrong.....

    Next we will decide to exclude those folks from theaters, and go back to segregation and White only establishments, no Civil Rights,
    Is that what you want ?
    Oh yeah, moar Gun Control !!!!

    Yay !!!!

    Nobody is forcing you to go to that theater.

    Discriminating against movies isn't the same as discriminating against people.

    He was just as gay in the cartoon version. I was six when the movie came out and knew that. He literally sang a song in opus of his love. People need to calm down. Seriously.

    So ?
    Vote with your feet, don't go to movies with Gay characters or purple dogs or dinosaurs etc...... why bother banning the movie from theaters ?

    You can be a Bigot / Racist and not frequent areas and establishments that serve minorities.

    Wait, drive-ins are still a thing????

    Anyway, their loss. If they don't want to show a movie with a gay character, fine. They'll just lose money because of it.

    Movie theaters get to choose which movies they play.

    If you own an establishment that offers a product or service you get to decide which ones you offer.

    Yeah, however most (Bigots) people that own Businesses go too far and end up not serving certain Customers they hate.
    It is not as simple as you say.
    You seem to have forgotten much History as far as Bigotry.

    In this case they were saying they weren't going to show a movie.
    Yes it is. This is about a movie.

    No, it is a statement against Gay characters portrayed in Motion pictures and a considering such as promoting a so called "Gay Agenda" I do not advocate any action against the Theaters other than calling it what it is, Bigotry promoted by Bigoted Business owners, the same ones that will refuse to serve Clients they hate, if they can get away with such.

    I'm a center-left liberal. I couldn't care less.

    I will point out, though, that the theater owners invited political scrutiny of their actions by posting about it on Facebook. So please don't claim that any criticism of them reflects liberal "intolerance." If someone says "I'm doing this because I disapprove of [insert issue here]", they can expect criticism of their choice.

    My personal favorite take on the movie is from "Twisted":
    https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Twisted-Chicago-Cast-2/Twisted


    GASTON: Au contraire! My only crime was love! In town, there was only she who was as beautiful as me ... on the inside. But then, tragedy struck! She was taken hostage in a castle filled with demonic furniture! So I did what anyone would do, and I organized a rescue mission! But how was I to know that she had fallen in love with her captor? To me, that doesn't seem ... entirely healthy? Especially since he's a wolf-bear... thing? But the heart wants what it wants!

    It's a character not a person. It's bigotry against an imaginary person not any real people.

    Against a movie. I'm absolutely Bigoted against dubstep to the point I won't refer to it as music.

    There is a huge difference in somoene refusing to stock a product (ex a movie) vs them denying a group service (ex a bakery refusing a product they sell to homosexuals).

    Moot point anyway, I prefer to watch stuff in the privacy and comfort of a home, I can pause it, make a snack etc..... not miss a part if I have to potty etc......
    I am not dependant on the whims or fancy of a dolt owner of a business.
