Hate Group Offers ‘Godly’ Alternative To Disney’s Gay ‘Agenda’

Disneys live action Beauty and the Beast reboot doesnt hit theaters until Friday, but thecontroversy over the movies inclusion of an exclusively gay moment continues to rage.

In what Britains Attitude magazine touted as a history-making moment for Disney, the character of LeFou (Josh Gad) is apparently shown to be questioning his feelings for the films dashing villain, Gaston (Luke Evans). Though its been two weeks since director Bill Condons Attitude interview, LeFous subplot has become a major talking point, with a conservative-ownedbusiness, an evangelical pastor, a concernedparentand Russian lawmakersall condemningBeauty and the Beast, sight unseen.

Now, an established anti-LGBTQ group is asking parents to speak out against Disney by supporting a godly animated movie instead of taking their children to see Beauty and the Beast. The American Family Association (AFA), which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated as a hate group, has launched an online fundraiser for the production of The Pilgrims Progress. (You can view snippets of the film, which is said to be aiming for a 2018 release, in the video above.)

Parents should be warned that Disney has given the green light to a strong LGBTQ agenda in a movie that targets the 5- to 11-year-old demographic market, AFA officials wrote on the PIlgrims Progress fundraising page.

The fundraiser offers few details about The Pilgrims Progress other than calling it one of the most impactful stories ever written. It seems likely to be an adaptation of the 1678 Christian allegoryof the same name, written by John Bunyan, who was repeatedly jailed for preaching without a license.

If parents dont push back today and take a strong stand, AFA officials wrote, Disney will continue to allow more childrens movies to push the homosexual agenda.

Still, from the sounds of it, the brouhaha over LeFous sexuality is much ado about… well, not a whole heck of a lot. Gad and Emma Watson (Belle) have made efforts to downplay the controversy, as has composer Alan Menken, who co-wrote the films music. But the most memorable response came from Ewan McGregor (Lumire), who simply noted,Its 2017, for f*cks sake.
