Homosexual agenda promoted in the new children’s movie “Good Boy”

Posted on 10/12/2003 6:17:53 PM PDT by mandingo republican

The homosexual agenda is being promoted in the new Jim Henson Productions children’s movie titled “Good Boy”. I took my niece and nephew to see this cute movie about dogs who talk. It’s a kids movie overall but I was shocked to find how the leftist Hollywood establishment tries in very subtle ways to get its cultural agenda across. I don’t know if the kids picked it up, but I suspect that it’s been done before and it will continue to happen in the future. It’s like a veiled form of conditioning – a brainwashing of sorts, designed to alter perceptions of the world and culture around us. It can be seen in television shows – especially in programming for children. Today on the Disney channel one of the shows was on dating – the kids where about 13 or 14. My 7 year old niece was watching it. Gone are the days of Father Knows Best or even the corniness of the Brady Bunch.

In the movie there was a 30 something man who owned a dog which the little boy (the lead character in the movie) walked daily. No big deal right? The only thing wrong with this was that in many later scenes the man was seen living in his home with another man. They were always together exactly like the other married couples in the movie. You would see them cleaning the pool, going to work, or decorating their home. I thought I was seeing things, until I asked my wife if she picked up the same thing. She said yes, and along with my sister she could not understand why this was needed in a children’s movie.

Is nothing scared anymore? Are we that far gone as a culture that even in a movie which we take our children we continuously have to be bombarded by images and messages that homosexuality is a normal and accepted lifestyle? I just thought the showing of this homosexual couple was a very subversive trick to get kids on board with a liberal mindset at a very early age. I want to take the kids to see an innocent movie about dogs who talk – not a movie about how OK homosexual marriage is.

Well, too bad. Remember, the media has a conservative bias. [end sarcasm]

Unfortunately there isn't much that's "off limits" anymore. You can write your displeasure to the films producers but the better method is to spread the word and hope it hits them at the boxoffice.

The agenda of emphasising homosexual glorification while trying to disguise it as "tolerance" is an everyday occurrance.

I don’t know if the kids picked it up,

I thought you said this was a movie about a dog that talks, oriented to kids.

Now, you say you don't know if the kids picked it up (likely not), but your gaydar is so fine tuned that you feel you have to "warn" FReepers about two guys living in the same house together.

Tell me, did the movie show them having sex together? Kissing? Taking baths together?

Are we that far gone as a culture that even in a movie which we take our children we continuously have to be bombarded by images and messages that homosexuality is a normal and accepted lifestyle?

What overt signs of homosexuality were displayed in this movie?

I wonder if you might learn a lesson from your kids here: just sit back and enjoy a movie about a talking dog, for Christ's sake!

This contry has reached a very sad era where as an adult you need to check out the movie reviews before taking a child to ANY movie, specially a "kids" movie.

I just saw "School of Rock" with my kids, and they did the gay angle a different and, I felt, even more unacceptable way. The movie has a classroom of 10 year olds in which one boy is shown to have an unquenchable desire to be a fashion designer, and is otherwise portreyed as obviously gay. Imagine what this boy will go through as a teenager with everyone knowing his 15 minutes of fame had been as a homosexual.

Yes, they are doing this to spread their gay agenda. But when they do it to a child actor, it's so much worst. Much as I hate government meddling, it makes one think Gary Coleman may be right regarding the evils of making children actors. Outlaw child labor.

How is this much different from the 1960s sitcom "Family Affair"? Uncle Bill and Mister French, his butler. Yeah sure, a butler in a Manhattan apartment.

I saw the movie in liberal "we love Hillary" Long Island - the movie house was filled with kids and moms. I hope someone picked up the thing about the homosexual marriage. Note that I refuse to use the word "gay". Gay was a beautiful word in the English langauge that has been kidnapped. Little girls used to be named "Gay". It was no big deal for men to say they were "gay" when happy. But as always, the Left uses langauge very sucessfully to destroy all we hold dear. Orwell wrote about that.

Thanks for posting this. My family headed out to the mall today for lunch and then we were going to go to the theater to watch 'Good Boy.' We had some time to kill before the movie so we went into a game store. My 6-year-old son spotted the board game Dog-opoly and was immediately smitten as he loves everything that is dog-themed. The game cost about the same as the movie would have cost the three of us so he had a choice to make. He chose the game and we spent several hours enjoying ourselves playing Dog-opoly. He learned quite a bit about counting money, making wise choices about when to save and when to invest and a lot about the different breeds of dogs. I think we'll avoid this movie until he's older.

Yes, most movies have left wing propaganda woven all through them. Tonight a corny Keanu movie is on TNT (I think) called "Sweet November." It's supposed to be just a love story, but the underlying theme is: capitalism is bad. The man who loves his work and gives it his all is an obsessive jerk, who needs to learn to throw away his watch and cellphone and hang out with the pretty girl and all her gay friends, earn less, romp on the beach... I particularly noticed the scene where our boy is standing on a street looking around at this lovely, picturesque corner of town... and in the background some old woman is putting up a big poster of Che Guevara in the window of the quaint little book store.

On TBS, Jerry McGuire is telling Bridget Jones (whatever her name is) after making a pass at her that he feels like Clarence Thomas, harrassing his female employee. Always these little digs.... and of course, doing anything for money, wanting money, caring about money... always, always bad.

Uncle Bill brought home a lot of Aunts. I get the feeling there weren't any Aunts in this movie...or butlers.

That means it was clearly making the two men a "couple".

You've got to be kidding me. Che Guevara?!?

Alright, please, can we liberate Cuba now? Please? Before it's too late?

I guess we have to see the movie first. We are having so much thrown in our face now days though, that we watch for everything. I got flamed because I posted that I fast forward two parts of a Barney tape that I bought for my young grandchildren. One scene has the kids holding up there arms and singing to "Mr. Sun". Another is a scene where a young boy is uncomfortable putting on a straw skirt and he is encouraged and told it's ok. Were both scenes harmless? Maybe. Where they both pushing someone elses agenda? Maybe. I'm helping to raise Christian, young men and women and these scenes bother me so we skip um.

The difference is that viewer was not supposed to think that these were homosexual characters. I haven't seen the "Good Boy" movie, but if I do I am sure I will sense that the characters in question are supposed to homosexuals. And so will any child more than 6 or 7 years old. Is this going to stop me from taking them to the movie? Perhaps not -- but only because the normalization of homosexuality is everywhere, can't be avoided*, and is something to discuss with your kids.

* Well, with home schooling perhaps it can be avoided, but this is not a real option for us.

Man, do I agree with you there. The word is homosexual.
