The Christian organization Focus on the Family is releasing a movie in theaters May 6 called “Irreplaceable” about the value of traditional families, the importance of fathers being engaged in their children’s lives and the healing power of forgiveness.
But apparently to some advocates for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, community, that’s a cardinal sin.
LGBT advocates have launched an effort to disparage the movie online, petition against it and work to make sure “Irreplaceable” isn’t seen in your local theater.
Focus President Jim Daly reports in a blog post that some of the more than 700 theaters nationwide scheduled to show the film in a one-night-only event are starting to back out, intimidated by homosexual activists.
“Some of those who disagree with us are calling ‘Irreplaceable’ ‘anti-gay propaganda,’” Daly writes, “and demanding that theaters refuse to show the film.”
Efforts to shut down the movie are being coordinated through Facebook, Twitter and a Change.org petition begun by Shalom Rosenberg, a homosexual middle school teacher from Belmont, Calif.
“Although Focus on the Family has caused so much harm to so many, this is America and they are allowed to be hateful bigots,” Rosenberg states on his petition. “What is not acceptable is the fact that they are trying to pass this film off as a fair-minded or even ‘feel good’ documentary about love, family and marriage. This is not a documentary. This is anti-gay propaganda. Furthermore, it is unacceptable for mainstream theatres to allow this to play at their cineplexes nationwide, as if this were a legitimate film. Fair-minded Americans should not tolerate this kind of deception.”

Great comment below the article- “What the H*LL is a homosexual man doing teaching children in a middle school anyway?”
“Ironically, this theater is currently showing ‘Bad Words’ – an R-rated movie one reviewer called ‘the best pedophile film of 2014,’” Daly continues. “I can only deduce that this Ohio theater owner believes the views presented in the ‘Bad Words’ movie are acceptable – but the millennia-old concept that marriage is the lifelong union of a man and a woman is not. Is this really where we are as a culture?”
Unfortunately, yes.
Stop Thief! (He's a turd burglar!)
Liberals and “Progressives” preach diversity and inclusiveness but are really cultural Nazis at heart.
In their minds there is only one approved way to live and that is their way.
To them, the earth isn’t big enough to accomodate people who do not agree with them.
They try to destroy anyone and anything that does not conform to the approved “Progressive” philosopy of life.
Well, can’t say much having not seen the movie.
But, I question what the homosexual community objects to. I doubt that there are homosexual characters in this movie who are the “bad guys”, or that this movie shows homosexuality in a negative way.
If they are complaining that a movie shows the importance of mothers and fathers in the life of a family, and in the lives of their children, and they are pissed off that somehow this story ignores homosexuality, then they can just go have their hissy fit in private.
Tolerance for thee, but not for me.
I just can’t understand how they can’t see their OWN hypocrisy.. :/
Tell the gay mafia to stuff it.
It doesn’t seem to take much for them to have a hissy fit. I fully expect calls for the criminalization of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day to begin at any moment.
"Unacceptable?" I'm sorry, I must have missed the day when some fairy got to decide what is "acceptable" and not in America.
Fair-minded Americans should not tolerate this kind of deception.”
You want to talk about deception? Let's talk about how deceptive it is to label homosexuality -- as aberrant a behavior as any that ever existed, and one that has been universally rejected in every successful society throughout time -- as "normal." Let's talk about the lies necessary to promulgate homosexual "marriage." Let's describe in detail the sexual acts performed by male homosexuals, and then let's see how many people can keep their lunches down.
Homosexuals are the epitome of intolerance, bigotry, and deception.
Interesting how gay activists use the words equality & freedom while denying critics of both. Bad optics for them.
This is free advertisement for Focus on the Family. They ought to thank these gay activists for providing that!

A big..F THEM!
Guess promoting amnesty for illegals isn’t buying FoF any good will from the thought police.
Bump
The hordes of the degenerate will FORCE you into silence.
Crypto fascist crypto dictatorship move, typical communist.
Freedom of speech or association or assembly?
Tell them to stuff it. I get it. But, you don’t have to tell them to stuff it. Stuffing it is what they live for.
They don’t CARE.
This stuff is driven by raw Nietzchean “will to power.”
Or Satanic drive, but that’s really the same thing. Moral contradiction? Who cares! Just keep dishing forth the quibbles and lies until everyone is confused.
