A new analysis of top grossing G-rated children's films from 1990-2005 determined that heterosexuality is not only the norm in such films, but that it is also depicted as being exceptional, powerful, transformative and magical. (Credit: MorgueFile)

multiple prior ethnographic studies suggest children understand the normativity of heterosexuality by the time they enter elementary school, relegating homosexuality to the abnormal Yes. Without Disney, children would never realize that love between a man and woman was normal.

they send a memorable message to impressionable young viewers that heterosexual love is not only the norm, but that it is also exceptional, powerful, transformative and magical... God forbid!
To: JoeProBono
How dare we teach that heterosexual love is normal!!!
(sarcasm)
Really, seems like some gay groups have gone from asking for tolerance (to be “left alone”) to demanding acceptance to, now, doing exactly what they criticized others for - determining for everyone what’s “normal” and what’s not.
I’d say “stuff it” to the PC crowd, but in this context I’m afraid to.

No doubt this “study” was funded by our tax dollars.

Disney can look at how well the liberal TV networks and liberal newspapers, and liberal movies are doing. They’re all going down the road together - and I do mean DOWN...

Maybe Disney has realized that parents are not interested in having their children view homosexual relationships.

Add the wonderful movie UP to this category. UP unambiguously celebrates love and marriage while also demonstrating the destructive effects of adults who don’t keep those promises. I’m going to get a Blu-ray machine so I can have this movie in hi def.

Degenerates are a small minority demanding that the vast majority cancel their rights in order to celebrate degeneracy of the small degenerate minority. It is the democrat party way don’tchaknow.

now that they’ve been called on this, look for Disney to put out a steady stream of gay-themed releases to get back into the good graces of the Hollywood establishment
To: ClearCase_guy
By definition Homosexuality is ABNORMAL. Fully 97% or greater of the general population are Heterosexual.
If only 3% of the population are involved ion a lifestyle. That lifestyle can be described as ABNORMAL.
I would contest that celibacy and asexuality are much more NORMAL than Homosexuality.

They just want equal time, to be included — to tell their side of the story, Jill can fall for herself, who needs Jack?

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
Each with a buck and a quarter.
Jill came down with two-fifty.

Agreed.
Up is possibly the best piece of animation ever made.

Of course love between a man and woman is normal.. it doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out. Without it there would be no children!

And that three percent runs every movie studio in the country and sits in the WH. Oh, and the Secretary of State.

The ironic thing is that Disney employs alot of Gay people. Go against the Gay Mafia in Hollywood at your own peril. Just ask Mike Ovitz.

Heterosexuality being a “norm” would only be a revelation at Disney.
