Theater refuses to show 'Beauty and the Beast' over gay character
WAAY ^ | March 3, 2017 | Patrick Ary

A DeKalb County theater will not be showing the new "Beauty and the Beast" film when it is released because it features a gay character.

The Henagar Drive-In Theatre posted on its Facebook page Thursday night that it would not show the film when it is released later this month, due to it featuring Disney's first gay character.

"If I can't sit through a movie with God or Jesus sitting by me then we have no business showing it," a post on the theater's Facebook page said.

The theater has since deleted its Facebook page.

This film is going to bomb. Its director has been pretty blatant in interviews that he was eager to inject a pro-gay agenda into his movie.

Does Disney think that's going to attract MORE families to see this movie?

Look at that massive swath of red across America this latest election. That is where the majority of movie audiences are, not that tiny blue enclave on the California coast.

Disney ignores this at their peril.

I hope this film is rated R. If not, Disney is engaging in child abuse, IMHO.

Yep, what’s up with that??

Will increased ticket sales in San Francisco offset the loss of many families going to see the movie?

Is the desire to make the “LGBT” peoples happy, and the “LGBT” Hollywood crowd happy, stronger than any desire to attract a mainstream audience???

Is making their political statement more important than any other consideration????

I don’t think the theaters should have. They should have presented it as any other Disney Animation.

Now, instead of having low ratings because people weren’t just interested they’ll blame big bad right wing movie theaters.

We would not want anything undue going on at a drive-in movie theater.

The LGBTQ bunch will sue claiming discrimination, just like the wedding cake and the flowers for same-sex weddings.

I was going to watch it eventually, as the live action Cinderella remake was well done. Will make do with the animated version.

Exactly.

Show it and let it bomb.

Disney might get a one week bump out of the film from the curious but nothing more.

Who wants their eight-year-old kid asking questions about men sodomizing other men?

They should have presented it as any other Disney Animation.

A. It is not an animation.

B. They have the right to refuse to show any movie they wish.

C. If they had shown it the parents who innocently would have assumed that Disney equaled clean fun would have been outraged.

D. Who give a flaming flip as to what the perverts claim?

At first I thought somewhere in Illinois might be getting it right for a change. . . .wrong state. . DeKalb County, Alabama. May God Richly Bless this movie theater owner. He knows just Who he ultimately answers to...now if the rest of the country would.

If a baker can be sued for declining to bake a pro-homosexual-marriage cake, why cannot a theater be sued for declining to exhibit a pro-homosexual movie?

Their tv channel is doing great and it’s got gay characters already for a long time.

My sister wouldn’t let me niece watch it when she found out and that was a while ago.

The times they are a changing.

Having a Gay Day at Disney World didn’t hurt them either.

Saturation is the key to the left.

The homosexuals infiltrate and use all opinion-making groups they can. Cinema is definitely a huge opinion-making institution. They don’t care whether it’s going to be a commercial success. Those who pushed this project care about the propaganda project as a subsidized propaganda investment. Someone will have backed this one and they and the studio can write it off as a loss on their corporate taxes. It’s an investment not in pushing perversion and destroying Biblical mores.

Think we need to start referring to it that way, that will really tick them off.

If Walt were alive he would fire all of upper management and a big section of middle management.
