I honestly can't believe I just read that.
Do these idiots even know how humans propagate?
There's only one way to do that. And it's so freaking incredibly normal and fun.
Ha-ha!! Normal and fun. Normal and fun. Normal and fun. Butterflies and candles and sappy Disney music and romance. Normal and fun.
Deal with it, weirdos.

I hate to sound so crass - but I think these two “researchers” need some sort of itch scratched that currently isn’t being scratched.

Disney didn’t create The Little Mermaid story. Hans Christian Anderson did.

I find it amazing that anyone felt the need to commission a study to find this out.

Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners," the researchers observed. "Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for - and a link to the naturalness of - hetero-romantic love." But, they have been "advertising" that there is no difference between hetro and homo love. So if that is true, why do they have a problem with this? They can make all of the gay cartoons they want, but very few are going to go see it.

- Researchers at the University of Michigan have concluded that the love stories told in classic Disney and other G-rated children's films such as the Little Mermaid - are partially to blame for the pervasiveness of what they label "heteronormativity."
Hello earth to researchers.......These are CHILDREN'S FILMS
What do they expect from Disney....."Bambi Fists Thumper"........
Oh wait That would be "homoeroticbeastialitnormativity"....
I have the sneaking suspicion this is a government funded research project to the tune of a couple of million dollars....

Traditional tales are good, because they have stood the test of time, by definition. Anyway, Disney puts a unique “twist” on all of them.

I wasn’t too sure about Disney’s Reluctant Dragon character, either.
Traipsing through meadows picking flowers ins’t very dragonlike JMHO.
Anyway, “heteronormativity” sounds perfectly OK to this healthy hetero.
Consider what a closed society the academaniacs who wrote this `study’ inhabit. And don’t go there after dark.

The SWS press release concluded: "President Obama may have declared June to be Gay Pride Month, but entertainment for children therefore continues to perpetuate a less inclusive message, leaving those outside its confines with little to build their own dreams of happily ever after."
You want "happily ever after"? Then reject deviant and abnormal sexual practices. Homosexuals are not happy. Giddy perhaps, and more and more often obnoxious, but not happy.
I'm constantly amazed at people who insist on tilting reality on its head and then complaining when it doesn't work out the way they expected.
