Alabama bans Arthur gay wedding episode

[Aurgjelme]

99% of kids have a mom and dad. There is no need to get kids to accept something that is normal to them and they see every day.

One in three children in the US live with unmarried parents. One in five live with a single mom.

It was hard enough when I took my niece to the grocery store last weekend and a man walked by with earring on and she said Uncle Orlong, boys arent supposed to wear earrings, why does he have them on. First I was hoping he didnt hear her, but I had to find a way to explain that some guys are just weird and dont follow the rules. I explained that he will probably get in trouble when his Mom finds out

Wow...just wow... Some people should not be allowed any contact with a developing mind and here we have an example.

It shouldnt be promoted as neither OK or not OK. It just shouldnt be mentioned at all.

And what other things that exist shouldn't be mentioned because "reasons"? Dinosaurs? Clothes made of mixed fabrics?

[zenkai]

I mean you may just hate a part of yourself instead? That seems to be the theme with homophobes.

Flaming isn't allowed, reported, I am in no way a homophobe. Or should I go tell my *married* gay friends who adopted black kids that I am a homophobe and racist according to some internet guy who doesn't even know me.

Don't you know that every animal couple gets a straight wedding at church? That's how nature works.

I mean, its obvious that Arhur is promoting rat marriage to kids. gay rat marriage. Whats next? gay frogs?

Dude's brain is gonna explode the first time that girl sees a goth, punk, or metalhead.

If you said religion shouldn't be taught because of indoctrination, he'd prolly disagree entirely or lose his mind.

You do know weddings aren’t a natural thing right? Marriage is something made by people not nature.

Are you telling me the marriage safari I booked to watch marriages in their natural habitat this summer is a scam?

[zenkai]

Either you think teaching children what marriage is in cartoons is wrong, or you think learning them that gay people can get married too is wrong by your statement.
I am confused, Is marriage propaganda then?

*insert any hot button topic* should be left out of children cartoons regardless of your feelings. I already stated this, for you to ignore the statement tells me you have limited reading comprehension or you are trying to bait me.

YO! Money waiting to be made!!!! Market that shit!

You joke, but how is this not a reality show about drunk girls crashing wild weddings yet?

Zenkai and getting angry over hearing the truth. Some things will never change on this forum.

The good ol' 'but I have a black/gay/jewish/trans friend' defense.

If anyone ever needed a reason to not take this muppet seriously...

This is like the epitome of how you turn a child into a hateful bigot.

You could tell them that you hope they didn't bring their kid to their wedding ceremony, because indoctrination!

What part of that is flaming?

People being openly homophobic often have parts of themselves they wish were suppressed. That's why they're getting hard in studies while watching gay porn while the straight non-homophobes don't have a reaction.

[Mehrunes]

It's not negative affect on their brains, it's negative affect of understanding what is right or wrong. I am totally fine to show same sex marriage in cartoons if they also explain that same sex marriage cannot have natural way of having children. Deal?

You literally talked about the negative effect on their brains in the very post I replied to in that post. I know your point is godawful, but come on, you should own up to it instead of pretending you didn't make it. And even if I entertained your goalpost movement here, what does same sex marriage have to do with right and wrong? I'd say it's morally ambivalent. Seems like you want to push your medieval mentality onto the show makers.

If you think same-sex marriage is a "hot button topic", you're a homophobe. Literally the only people with any issue with same-sex marriage, are homophobes. Pretty much by definition, I'll note. And you are the one pushing an agenda by banning media that contains such, to try and conceal it from children.

If this bothers you, I'll also note that nothing requires you to hold homophobic views. You can just, like, stop being homophobic. It's easy. But whining about it when people point it out? That's an attempt to avoid taking responsibility for your own position and what it means, and that's not gonna fly.

I am sorry that gay marriage is such a hot topic to you then. Where I come from it would not be such a big deal or considered brainwashing kids.
Each to their own I guess.

Good for them. Gender politics have no place in children cartoons. Its disgusting that some people find such cartoons ok.

This isn't politics. This is two people who happen to be of the same sex getting married, to show kids that yes this happens and no it's not weird, degenerate or disgusting.

I'm not a fan of political movements being involved in child media, but when a large part of the conservative side of the US treats homosexuality like an act of degeneracy to be seen as sinful, aberrant and wrong then it proves the point that kids need to be taught what their parents aren't teaching them.
Gay marriage isn't controversial anymore unless you're as far right as possible on the political spectrum, and in that case then you need to get with the modern era where a single religion doesn't and shouldn't impact the lives and choices of an individual.

Unless it’s a good god fearing animal like the American bald eagle of course it is!

Gay marriage isn’t a hot button topic this is like saying they shouldn’t show interracial couples.
