This article just absolutely blows my mind! How can an organization that preaches tollerance and "love thy neighbor", be so hypocritic of their own teachings when it suits them? I have not seen the video in question, but I would really like to know how it "promotes acceptance of homosexuality" in such a way that kids would pick up on this and be offended?
I can't even begin to comment on this abomination and complete lack of stewardship for the rights and feelings of ALL people.

the complaint isn't invalidated by the fact that it's a subtle thing that kids won't pick up. it's being shipped out to elementary schools, so the kids are the only target audience. it's not meant to be a subtle adult joke embedded in a kid's feature film, like is common with pixar movies and others today.
regardless, i think it's a message kids need to hear. they need to know what's expected of them to make the world a better place.
