It seems as if the concerns of the LGBT community will be directly proportionate to the judgmentalism of the "Christians."
If they aren't preachy hypocrites hopefully they would be welcomed.

They have tried literally everything else in recent years and flopped with some regularity. They've been preachy and intolerant and ... big surprise ... not a lot of people want to see such movies. Wishing they could fix Mandalorian and undo their DEI mandates that ruined that.

Why did you add negative thoughts about something positive that had happened?

I'd like to see Disney just go back to simply being Disney.

Beware of them.
I don't think that leopard has changed its spots.

Because the Religious Right's interpretation of Christianity seems to have very little of what I would call identifiably Christian ethics and morality--based on how Jesus lived his life on earth, a servant leader living in voluntarily poverty, reaching out to the poorest and most ostracized members of society, preaching the Beatitudes and the two great commandments.

Which has nothing at all to do with endorsing the sinfulness of LGBTQ.

It's astonishing how much the LGBT movement has hijacked Christianity.

The worst off, the poorest and most ostracized, are those who are prisoners or slaves, such as those captured by Hamas or the victims of human trafficking here in the United States. The conservatives (and Jesus would approve of this) are trying to rescue as many as the ostracized as they can, while some on the left (much of the problems were created by Democrat border policies) are interfering with ICE. Conservative Christians are also against the teaching of transgenderism and racism in school, and are against a leftist state that wants to decide which children to transition without letting the parents know. Jesus promoted the family and was against Sodom and Gomorrah, and He would not approve of drag queen shows to little children. Jesus too is opposed to abortion. Jesus is against government overreach and their attacks on Christians and others with conservative values. What do you think Jesus would say about males identifying as female exposing themselves in girls locker rooms and bathrooms?

A Christian character with those views is exactly the kind of Christian character who would offend most of the TV watching world, spouting stereotypes and falsehoods.
Nor is teaching the truth about our nation's history "racism." It is not meant to make little white children feel guilty for the sins of their ancestors.
Instead, it shows how our democracy progressed in wisdom, justice and truth; how all humankind is equal;

If you think that's the most important aspect of Christian ethics, getting that issue right, you are living in spiritual delusion.

 

[FireDragon76]

As a Christian, I think Disney films like Lilo and Stitch represent more genuine Christ-like values, than this shameless pandering.

To paraphrase Luther, a Christian shoemaker does not make shoes with little crosses embossed on them... he simply makes good shoes.

 

[Nithavela]

It's a cartoon character praying to be good at a ball game. Everyone calm down.

He preached repentance throughout His entire ministry.

He preached repentance throughout His entire ministry.

The content and context of that repentance is what is being debated.

For too long, religion in the western world has been used as a tool of oppression of the powerful against the powerless, and even the hermeneutic by which many Christians read the Bible is shaped by the same oppressive mindset. This is contrary to the actual character of Jesus of Nazareth.

LILO and Stitch was quite a while ago.

LILO and Stitch was quite a while ago.

Are more contemporary Disney films really that much different?

Disney generally has tried to stick with relatable characters and themes. Relatable to the vast majority of Americans, it seems to me.

Maybe. It depends on where they take the character.

As far as the article goes, yet once again LGBTQ, especially trans, gets mixed into something designed for children.

There's a real battle going on between those wanting all children to be sucked into LGBTQQIP2SA+, and those wanting children to be left out of it.

It's contradictory to the character of the modern secular version of Jesus. Not to the bible version of Jesus, or the version of Jesus throughout Christianity up until the latter half of the 20th century. That Christ and the church accepts everyone is an age old doctrine. That it's okay to practice sin is something a lot newer. And totally goes against what Christ and His Apostles taught. Christ didn't die for our sins so that we could wallow in sin doing whatever we want that satisfies our flesh.
