Disney thinks it’s just a statement against gays. It’s actually more than that. Parents don’t want their small children exposed to the issue of exploring sexuality/gender in Beauty and the Beast. The issue doesn’t belong there, is out of place and offensive.
It gets polarized that way... So what’s new under the sun?
I believe the modern generations no longer can afford the luxury of pretending that what is no longer in closets can be ignored.
Whole areas of the power of Christ need to come back on our radar. Not the eyes of the ostrich but that of the Savior.
