"You can bet that some activist, in-your-face homosexual in the TBS sales group sold the ad placement during a family movie on purpose. It's just another way of recruiting future homosexuals to them."
It sounds like the promoters of this film are desperately trying to appear respectable. Like Madonna lately, they keep clamoring for the attention of conservatives to prove how, by golly, deep down they're just as normal as you & me, and that "normal" people can enjoy this movie.

Agreed. Ninety-nine percent of people watching the A Christmas Story will not see the movie and a very large percentage of viewers will be offended.
So why put advertise the movie while families are watching -- to promote the homosexual agenda.
BTW, no response from TBS yet. Doubt I will hear from them.

Interesting,
I had "A Christmas Story" on almost all day. I don't recall seeing any ads for this movie.
I'm not doubting you.
Maybe some people are just more "sensitive" to certain subject matter than most................

Depends on the context.
I hug my son all the time.
However, it is little disgusting to see two men hugging and cuddling after homosexual sex.
It is a huge difference.

It happened during at least two (every-other) successive ads breaks. Guessing around 5:00pm Pacific time.
Also, to be fair to TBS, it could have been their normal daily ad cycle. Hope your family and kids didn't see it.

I predict we will hear from TBS. The response will be along the lines of all responses to morally outrageous conduct by perpetrators. It will go something like this: We're sorry that you were upset at -fill in the blank - and hope you understand that we must serve a "diverse" public. In one sentence they tell you that they have nothing to apologize for, they will continue the morally outrageous conduct and, by the way, you're a bigot because you've violated "diversity" rules. They must teach this in a PR 101 course in the Diversity Director degree program in college.

I have a problem with this movie's advertising and reviews. It isn't up front with the audience.
It is not mentioned that these two 'cowboys' are actually sheep-herders. To people in the know, there is a great difference especially in the 'mythos' the film makers are trying to 'cash in' on with gay contraversy. **I feel the Mel Brooks might have been more appropriate to do a film about two gay sheepherders in the mountains!
Also the two men are already married with children to women before getting involved. So there is an real element of family breaking-up here.
All these facts as compared to the simplistic way this film is being marketed to the audience is somewhat false & hypocritical. Hypocrisy sucks!
I don't patronize such phony message films.

LOL. Like the Mel Brooks reference and the reference to sheep.
From what I saw of the ad, the infidelity part of the message looks absolutely awful. Not bad, but devastating to the families involved.
Maybe there is a message: remain faithful to your family and spouse and you will not suffer the pain that these people are seen going through.
