Since 1997, the Southern Baptists have been boycotting Disney because of its "gay-friendly" policies and productions. John sez:
This unintentionally hilarious article in Baptist Press News outlines the "few worthy efforts" by Disney in movie-making in the past several years. Columnist Phil Boatwright has gone to the trouble of weeding out the un-Christian flicks produced by gay-happy Disney since the implementation of 1997's boycott, and presents a list of movies that will not sully the souls of pure-hearted Baptist boys and girls.
Take note, if you will, of the caution placed here and there in the article. Boatwright warns that in 2002's Treasure Planet, "the story does include a father who abandoned his wife and child." Admittedly, I was puzzled by the remarks on the prevalence of Elvis' music in Lilo and Stitch: "At last, Elvis got to be in a good movie!"
Most amusing to me was the following excerpt from the review of Louis Sachar's 'Holes': "in the flashback story, a black man and a white woman fall in love, an act presented as against the law during that period, which leads to a tragedy perpetrated by a bigoted mob." I can't help but wonder: In reality, how many of those 'bigots' in the mob would have been Southern Baptists?
