I saw Nemo…I’m still hetero…(shrug) it was worth a try.
So the actress voicing a character is a lesbian. A character who has serious mental problems that only start to go a way once a strong male character becomes a part of her life. And a character that ends up living hapily ever after with the father and son male leads.
Precisely where does this pro-lesbian message come from? Because I can’t see it.
You have to be wearing your special Fundamentalist Christian Blinders to see it. Go ask His4Ever or JerseyDiamond for a pair.
Didn’t you get the memo from God? No anti-family/anti-conservative person is supposed to succeed in life in any way until they convert to Christianity. At gunpoint, if need be.
I just thought of an interesting parallel between the article quoted in the OP and the thread Esprix started yesterday where he rails against straight men saying they are lesbians trapped in a man’s body:
Both Esprix and the author(s) of the article think that the simple fact that Someone did something that offended them means that Someone intended to offend them because Someone should have known that Esprix/the author(s) would take offense. In other words, they infer intent to offend from the act itself.
They both then want Someone to stop doing the act they find offensive (studios hiring lesbians in children’s movies /slash/ a straight man saying he is a lesbian trapped in a man’s body).
In this thread the general consensus seems to be that the author(s) is/are being unreasonable, but that’s most certainly not the case in Esprix’s thread. I find this interesting.
There seems to be no furor over the presence of the guy who does Dame Edna in Finding Nemo. Does nobody care that hearing his voice might turn little boys into hideous Australian drag queens?
Did you actually read that thread, or is the hard on you have for me getting in the way?
Go hijack another thread to flame me - I’m sure the moderators will think quite highly of you for it.

(1) My post in this thread is on topic for both this one and that one. In that thread you linked to this one and discussed something someone posted in this one, so I think the two threads are rather linked. I could have started a new thread, I guess, but I didn’t think my post warranted it, and you would have whined even more about that. I don’t think my post was a hijack of this thread, and I don’t think I’m flaming you, per se (meaning that I’m not just trying to get your goat or get you riled up; I actually do think I have a point to make).
(2) Of course I read your thread, I posted in it.
(3) As Manhattan has told me before, let the moderators do the moderatin’.
(4) Do you have anything substantive to say, or are you just going to whine some more about me saying things that you don’t agree with?
(5) Finally, as to me having a hard on for you, don’t flatter yourself big guy.
Anything substansive I have to say I said in the other thread.

Wait until the Religious Right find out that the voice of Bruce the Shark is done by none other than Barry Humphries
If Finding Nemo doesn’t turn you into a Lesbian ( no matter what sex you were born) then you will certainly be a cross dresser by the time the movie ends.
OK, see ya later. We’ll probably do this again next week.
Not to mention Rosie O’Donnell’s voice in Tarzan.
Nathan Lane’s in The Lion King.
David Hyde Pierce’s in Treasure Planet and A Bug’s Life and Mighty Ducks (TV).
Sean Hayes’s in Buzz Lightyear (TV, one episode)
Jonathan Harris’s (of Lost in Space fame) in Toy Story II and A Bug’s Life
Emma Thompson’s in Treasure Planet.
Peace.
I wonder if anyone turned gay because of a Rock Hudson movie.
Is Emma Thompson gay? Maybe that’s what happens if you were married do Kenneth Branagh.
I don’t think Emma is gay.
She has or had a younger boyfriend and a child with him not so long ago.
Emma Thompson isn’t gay nor was Jonathan Harris, despite his effeminate demeanor.
On the other hand, Rupert Everett and Tim Curry are (The Wild Thornberrys Movie) as was Nigel Hawthorne (Tarzan).
Okay, I saw this thread… and very carefully did not read it until I saw Finding Nemo, thus remaining spoiler free.
I assumed that 128+ posts meant one of the fish was portrayed as having a gay lifestyle from the thread title. I was expecting a major animation studio to take a stand. Saw the film last night. Nada. This is over Ellen’s voice???
I am very disappointed in all of you.
I’m not disappointed in the film though. Very amusing.
Per moriah’s post… Emma Thompson has been vocally in favor of gay rights. As has Gillian Anderson, who has flouted her gay-loving self in such child-marketed films as The Mighty and Princess Mononoke.
That’s the whole point of the thread, that the idiot fundie Xians are in a lather over Ellen’s voice converting the innocent to a life of Eddie Bauer shirts, mullets, and power tools.
I wonder if the Emma Thompson line wasn’t a reference to the Ellen episode where Emma “comes out”? Very funny ep 
I clearly remember E.T. coming out of the closet in 1982.
