Fans of Disney/ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” were recently let in on Mulan’s “dirty little secret.” Mulan is a bisexual.
Normally I would not have a problem with a bisexual character in a prime time show that was scheduled for later in the evening, but for starters this show airs on Sunday nights at 7PM Central, and it is touted as a family show. It is Disney after all and inspired by Disney characters.
The Huffington Post reports gloats:
New ground was broken this week when a member of Disney’s iconic Princess franchise was queered and it was revealed that Mulan is bisexual.
The hit Disney-ABC series “Once Upon A Time” functions under the premise that classic icons from various fairy tales have been transported to a “real world” town and have lost all memories of their former lives due to a powerful curse.
On this past Sunday’s episode, Mulan quietly revealed her unrequited love for “Sleeping Beauty” princess Aurora in a heartbreaking scene that can be viewed above. During the show’s previous season, Mulan also developed feelings for Prince Phillip.
As a show that is being marketed to families I happen to have a problem with this characterization. Parents should not be blind-sided with this sort of thing and frankly I expect more from Disney.
Parents can raise their children however they want to raise them. My beef is that this came from out of nowhere and lots of people would have liked to be able to keep their kids from seeing this. Ali watches this show occasionally but I do not. I have seen it once or twice in passing. I do know that I wouldn’t want to have a conversation with one of my kids about why Mulan is in love with Sleeping Beauty, unless I had time to prepare for it.
As for the Huffington Post. They make me puke. The use of the word “heartbreaking” is a little over the line. She finds out her love is pregnant and it breaks her little heart. So what?
The truth is that Mulan was going into a situation as a home-wrecker in the first place. Apparently Sleeping Beauty is in some kind of committed relationship here. I don’t really want my kids learning that lesson either from a Disney Princess.
There is a big difference between acknowledging that LGBT people exist and promoting the lifestyle. I don’t think making Disney Princesses into bisexuals is about raising awareness, I think it is about promoting the lifestyle.
One of the hallmarks of the communist movement has always been to break down society by making things like homosexuality acceptable while discrediting Christian teachings. We look around and see socialism overtaking our country yet anytime I mention something like this I am labeled a bigot. To me it is about consistency.
The Bible does not teach me to hate someone who might happen to love a person of the same sex, but it certainly does not promote this lifestyle either. That would be the job of the media it would seem.
We have a President in the White House who has definitely shown some homosexual tendencies in the past. The woman that is likely to be our next president has been labeled a bisexual. This is what we are getting from the left. This is what they want. Yet anyone who dares say something about it is automatically labeled a bigot. When society would rather defend Barack Obama than Jesus Christ I see a real problem.
There appears to be a problem now with the link’s video. No doubt some enterprising Disney fruitcake has been screwing around with the link.
Message to disney: been done already, edgier by your standards, and with better animation in hentai! Trust me.
/ heavy laughing disrespect to Disney and their attempt at “edgy”.
They don't even pretend not to be deviant purveyors to children.
Some of the shows on ABC Family are disgusting and certainly not my idea of “family” fare. Glad my kids are grown. Not much I would let them watch on TV these days. America has really gone downhill.
Link Worked for me....
One of the most misnamed movies in history.
The odds of finding a pretty streetwalker who looks like a Hollywood actress are about the same as a streetcar plowing through my balcony door here on the 11th floor.
Mind you, escorts might be a different matter, but your average “lady of the evening” standing on the corner of 5th and Main?
Not so much.........
That was enough for me. I cancelled my Amazon TV pass, no more episodes for me. I am sick of agenda driven TV. The fairytale that the Liberals are selling is old and stale and quite bitter to the heart.
Movies and TV shows are created in order to change people’s thinking and to promote an agenda. The story line is used to capture the viewer’s attention, distract him and put him in a state of suspension of disbelief. Meanwhile, the true message of the drama is being fed into the viewer’s subconscious.
Just wait.
Donald Duck will come flaming out in no time.
This all started with the “Soap Operas”. There wasn’t as much screaming about them. Plenty little old church ladies could not live without seeing their soaps shows. I’m not saying this justifies the sickening crap they call entertainment now. I wonder how low the morals sill sink in ten more years or less.
Not a liberal, just a pedant: the earliest form of Sleeping Beauty was an unwed mother. Prince Charming’s original method of waking her up was unsuccessful- she woke up nine months later....
Walt Disney cared about basic human values. Today’s Disney just wants to make money. If they think that promoting anti-social and anti-Christian behavior sells, they are all for it. If you watch Disney shows, if you go to Disney parks, if you watch ABC (Disney owns it), and buy Disney products, you are promoting homosexuality and sexual promiscuity. We all are influenced by what we see, but children are especially vulnerable. Buy Disney and you are promoting selling poison to children. Based on our childhood experiences, we get a warm fuzzy glow when we hear the world Disney. It will take a long time to change that perception, but the time to start is now.
New ground was broken this week when a member of Disney’s iconic Princess franchise was queered and it was revealed that Mulan is bisexual.
If losing viewers is breaking new ground then OK.
We DID watch this show. We will NO LONGER watch this show. We see enough sickness and perversion in daily life we do not need to see it transported into our living rooms via TV..
I think the best way to confront this would be to hit Disney with a double-barreled dose of their own medicine. That is, society is far more accepting of attractive bisexual women and even lesbians than it is of gay men. Especially if the gay men are gross and disgusting.
So what about turning Disney’s leading men into grotesque homosexuals? And since that really is disgusting, suggesting that this is in Disney’s plans for the future.
Friends Don,t Let Friends WATCH TELEVISION!
ABC Family has been on our line up for a few months but it doesn’t work. Guess I should be thankful but they’re still getting a portion of my payments.
