Movies with no homosexual content make about six times more money at the box office than movies with some, frequent or heavy homosexual content, according to a three-year study by Movieguide and the Christian Film & Television Commission.
The study is part of a detailed economic report to the entertainment industry recently released by Movieguide and the family advocacy group’s founder, Ted Baehr.
“We do an analysis of all [categories of] the box office and for many years, people would say that violence sells or sex sells and of course, we’ve found that not to be the case,” Baehr told WND.
Homosexual content in a movie may sell to the “the 2.5 or 3 percent who claim to be LGBT or homosexual or bisexual, but 98 percent of the moviegoers who don’t think about that, think about family and think about marriage.”
Baehr, as well as industry insiders, say it would be difficult to find anyone within Hollywood’s A-list willing to make a public comment on the study, but the commission’s hope is that filmmakers think about their pocketbooks before investing their efforts in homosexual content.

I don’t think they care. The world is obsessed with Hollywood and they make a lot of money overseas even with movies that didn’t do so well here.
Most men of most ages find two females kissing to be hot. I don't get it, but they do. It's probably because they're imagining themselves in between the two of them.
When we lived in soCal we’d often get free tickets to movies that hadn’t been released yet, and still hadn’t been finalized. We had to promise to participate in surveys after the showing to comment on things like possible alternate endings, music, characters, etc.
We’ve walked out on more than we finished either because of homosexuality or being heavy on demonic content. We would ask about that before going in, but they’d never tell us. When we walked out mid-movie, though, the people tending the door got an earful!
I read here the latest Star Trek movie had a queer. So I skipped seeing it. I was going to go before I found that out.
Pal, nobody wants to see it.
TV too. So many shows I’ve watched that are good TV shows have all introduced homosexuality into them. The Walking Dead and Tyrant. Tyrant just got cancelled. I thought it had a good storyline, but the son had to be homo and had a couple of homosexual lovers, who the TV producers had to show in bed kissing. Yuck! And many of the new comedies on TV Land can’t go 3 minutes it seems without mentioning some sort of perversion.
That is so true. I’ve been disappointed by some authors.

Tom Hanks endorsed Hillary and is dead to me. There is hardly anyone in Hollywood that I can stomach to watch anymore.
The last one made over 3 times its opening weekend in final gross, this one barely over 2.5 times, so the scenes seem to have affected the word-of-mouth as well.
Carol was an Oscar darling, and hugely hyped, but only made $12 million domestically. It is a prime example of why this article is correct. They push homosexuality hard but audiences just don’t want to see it. It ranked 117th for the year, barely above widely acknowledged flops Strange Magic and Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and under another flop Seventh Son. Oh, and a little above yet another Oscar-hyped, homosexual-themed movie on the list, The Danish Girl.
Where’s Captain Obvious when you need him?
I reason that anything that must be promoted via the entertainment industry is fake and degenerate. Otherwise Hollyweird wouldn’t be interested.
I just don’t get the interest in perverse unmentionable behaviors. What is the matter with people? An outright rebellion against natural law is going on apparently.
Notice that they don’t jump off of buildings in rebellion to gravity though.
I never have interest in turning on the TV. I wouldn’t even know how to use the remote. I think the last sitcom I watched was WKRP. Speaking of gravity, there’s always the turkey drop episode to remind me of the good old days!
I don’t know how to use the remote, either. When Kathleen wants to watch a cartoon (”Horseland” is the current favorite; it has talking horses in it.) I have to get a child to turn it on.
The movie opens with Landau 2.0, a soldier for The Dominion The Galactic Group The Association The Byrds The Weekend Bridge Group The Empire 2.0 on Endor 2.0 reenacting All's Quiet on the Western Front.
Cut to Leah 2.0 on Tattoine 2.0 reenacting WALL-E.
Back to Landau 2.0 who meets up with Dirk Benedict aka Luke 2.0 and together they reenact The Defiant Ones, inexplicably morphing into 48 Hours.
Somewhere along the ways, we meet Ren Stimpy aka Plain Wrap Darth Vader 2.0 (same evil but at 1/2 the price) who inexplicably wears a kabuki mask WHEN HE DOESN'T HAVE TO and we also meet his boss Snookie aka Emperor Palpatine 2.0.
In a plot twist NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN CINEMA, Luke 2.0 hides the plans to DeathStar 2.0 in droid Magic 8 Ball aka R2D2 2.0.
Hilarity ensues when everyone then spends quite some time reenacting It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World frequently having the droid with the plan under their noses without realizing it.
Eventually, after accidentally being in an air traffic accident and killing Luke 2.0, Landau 2.0 crosses paths with Leah 2.0 who inexplicably morphs from WALL-E to that chick from The Hunger Games.
Together, they reenact Gone in 60 seconds with the Millenium Falcon, disguised as Oscar the Grouch's trashcan home and which apparently doesn't need fuel and whose batteries work after 30 years of sitting idle. Inexplicably, this morphs into Top Gun while Leah inexplicably morphs into Maverick.
Somewhere along the ways, Leah 2.0 meets Yoda 2.0 who gives her Luke 1.0's light saber, which has been in a box, unhidden, unlocked and unguarded for about 30 years. Gandalf Yoda 2.0 intones "this light saber WANTS to be found."
Also somewhere along the ways, in yet another cinema first, we discover LUKE 2.0 ISN'T DEAD *gasp*.
Now, Magic 8 ball and the plans are retrieved by The Rebel Alliance 2.0 who start planning to reenact the attack on Death Star 1.0 from A New Hope but without the trench.
Now Han Solo (1.0) decides to meet up with Ren Stimpy, who removes his kabuki mask to reveal... he is an average looking guy. No radiation burns, no special breathing apparatus needed to live. He also reveals he is Anakin 2.0, adolescent petulance and all.
In yet another cinematic first, Han an Ren reveal to US that... HAN IS REN'S FATHER *gasp* (and Leah 1.0 his mom)!!! Together they reenact Gladiator and Han finally pays for shooting first as Ren kills him, ensuring Harrison Ford is completely free to film Indiana Jones and the Wheelchair of Destiny only having to do some studio work for appearances in the Force and flashbacks.
As we ramp up to the attack on DeathStar 2.0, we meet Leah 1.0 who waves at the camera and says "see, I don't look nearly as old as US Weekly shows me."
The last all but 1 minute of the film is a reenactment of Attack on the Death Star, without the trench and adding Admiral Akbar (1.0) from SW VI but doesn't get to say "IT'S A TRAP!" although down on the planet we see Leah 2.0 and Ren Stimpy reenact the battle between Gandalf and Saruman in The 2 Towers which inexplicably morphs into the end of Star Trek IV where Genesis rips the planet apart.
Another in the unending set of plot twists and turns at the final critical moment before DeathStar 2.0 kills everyone in sight, the ReBel Alliance 2.0 destroys it, with a satisfying Earth Shattering Kaboom.
In the final minute, in one of the most profoundly surprising revelations in any movie anywhere, we find *gasp* Luke 1.0 who through his actions that shows that Leah 2.0 was created when he kissed his sister, belieing what we learned in grade school -- you CAN get pregnant from a kiss!
I can't wait for the next movie, The Midichlorines Strike Back.
Final production note: The gratuitous violence in this movie is much more graphic than in any SW segment to date. It looks like Peter Jackson decided to take the "Meat's back on the menu, boys!" scene from LOTR and just drag this movie through it.
I quit watching Lost and Walking Dead because of unnecessary homosexual scenes. I refuse to accept it as normal.
For the last few years I kept track of TV series which started out strong and popular, but suddenly and unexpectedly an overtly gay scene would be shoved in the viewers' faces and the series popularity plummets from rapid decline in viewership.
Tonight another TV series bites the dust: Supergirl, RIP Nov 28, 2016 in my household.
If there were previous pervert scenes in past episodes, I may have missed a few.
I watched that episode because it was supposedly the start of a cross-over. I had watched about 5 minutes of the original episode and turned it off. Last night I realized I hadn’t missed much.
Once Upon a Time had their narrative last season.
Van Helsing on SyFy seems to have similar scenes every episode.
On many programs, I TiVo the program. That way, I can fast-forward through parts, as most of those kissing scenes have little to do with the actual stories.
Other times, I just quit watching and pull up something on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
TV programmers should have gotten the message when the lauded ‘New Normal’ lasted only one season — due to a lack of interest a couple of seasons ago.
