It's totally cool

Guest, I respected you and your beliefs until I got to the "taking a dump on it" part. Surely you could have thought of a better way to say that. And the "sand monkeys" part... yeah you lost all of my respect.

Have you read through the comments at all? I understand and respect that people have beliefs dissimilar to mine, but I won't take them bashing homosexuality sitting down. None of these "anti-gay" comments are nice or respectful, so we have every right to defend our beliefs from their berating.

Because guests are trolls. Everyone that is part of the FS family is here because we all have similar interests and beliefs. The guests don't and they're trolls about it. If they did agree with us, then they'd make accounts.

Brahh

My Spanish teacher drilled into us that we would basically die in college. I think her words were somewhere along, "If you're getting all A's in high school, you better prepare for a C average in college." I had all A's in high school, and my GPA for my first freshman semester was the same as my high school GPA.

You are under a rock, jay.

I'm talking about the general concept of the civil rights movement as compared to the issue of gay rights today. I completely understand how they are different; African Americans were oppressed and kept as slaves for hundreds of years, then when they decided to fight back, it was anarchy. The oppression of the rights for the LGBT community is not a violent fight but rather a political one because the United States doesn't want to scar their reputation again by repeating the violence and hatred seen during the Civil Rights Movement. I get that they are different events. But what I'm saying is that the concept of the oppression of rights and the change in mindset from generation to generation is exactly the same today as it was in the 60s. You're not the only one who studied the Civil Rights Movement jay. And if you want to continue to be close minded about this entire thing, then so be it. But quit acting like there isn't an issue with gay rights today.

Oh boy... I guess I need to dumb down my comparison:
African Americans were denied rights up until the 1960s and into the 1970s, similar to how gay people are denied some rights today. There was an entire generation that was racist, then the next was more open, then the next didn't think anything of segregation or racism. Today, there is an entire generation that is homophobic an anti-gay rights, then our generation is more open minded, and the next generation won't see anything wrong with being gay. I hope this all makes sense to you now jayjay92 :/
Thank you soccerch1ck for helping me clarify :)

God I love kids. Especially when it comes to this stuff. They're just kind of "whatever, okay" about it, and it's never a big deal to them. They just get it. Love is love and that's all there is to it.

Because people are stuck in their ways and are hurtful and opinionated. They need society to sway their opinion. So, if someone (like Disney) has the power to change society -- or better yet a generation -- and has the opportunity to do so, then they should take full advantage of it.

Thank you laceandleather :)

It is honestly one of the most beautiful short films I've ever seen. There is no dialogue, but alas, a whole story is told.

Look at our generation. Most of us, if not a large majority, are already totally accepting of gay rights and such. This is the civil rights movement all over again. We're the middle generation that is beginning to be exposed to it, and the next generation won't understand what the big deal was in the first place.
