Hold onto your hats. You’re not going to believe this one.
A University of Michigan study says love stories told in G-rated children’s films (such as Disney’s Little Mermaid) are responsible for what they label “heteronormativity.”
Real world translation: Not enough gay sex.
“Despite the assumption that children’s media are free of sexual content, our analyses suggest that these media depict a rich and pervasive heterosexual landscape,” said a report in Gender & Society, a publication of the Sociologists for Women in Society.
Researchers looked at the most successful G-rated movies between 1990-2005 and concluded that kids’ films “construct heterosexuality” via “depictions of hetero-romantic love as exceptional, powerful, transformative, and magical,” and “depictions of interactions between gendered bodies in which the sexiness of feminine characters is subjected to the gaze of masculine characters.”
“Characters in love are surrounded by music, flowers, candles, magic, fire, balloons, fancy dresses, dim lights, dancing and elaborate dinners,” the report noted. “Fireflies, butterflies, sunsets, wind and the beauty and power of nature often provide the setting for – and a link to the naturalness of – hetero-romantic love.”
We say, bravo, you brave researchers. That’s what’s wrong with America’s kids. They need more gay sex in their cartoons! More group sex! More bestiality!
And for god’s sake, man, somebody put some pants on that perverted Donald Duck.

this is ridiculous. the study mentions nothing of 'gay sex'. all it is saying is that these cartoons show "ideal" relationships to be between men and women, which perpetuate the idea of 'straight' being 'normal' and everything else being 'weird' or 'wrong'. i doubt that theyre implying throwing some 'gay sex' in there would be a good idea. why is 'gay' automatically associated with sex? gay people have relationships too...unless that's news to anyone.
Donavan,
Glad you are finally "out of the closet" so so speak. As for your high and mighty, smarter than thou riposte, I stand by my comment that “Gay is not normal, it is an aberration, much like a mutation – it cannot reproduce except to infect a new host.” The children of men who are homosexual or women who are lesbian are not automatically homosexual. Do you disagree with that statement? What they are is extremely confused. The only way the homosexual community expands is to recruit a new member. To convince someone that the urges that they have are now the defining part of them. That one drunken same sex encounter now makes them homosexual forever. That is the problem I have with the homosexual community, the mainstreaming of which has been based completely on lies. Homosexuals are not and never have been "10%" of the population. A recent survey in England revealed them to be at most 2%, this survey had an extremely large sample group and was done in the day and age when the academics hail homosexuals as the "best and brightest" so there was no reason for respondents to not be truthful.
So go ahead and delude yourself that you are enlightened for your new found freedom in your deviancy. Continue to believe that you are somehow more free because you act on impulses that most men recognize as base, no different than choosing to stick with stuff when the going gets tough rather than abandoning children and family for the path of least resistance, that's what separates us from animals, knowing right from wrong and not acting on what is wrong. Oh, I did a google search, my assesment is more correct than yours- here is the link to what nambla has to say. . .Pederasty and Homosexuality
Pederasty is the main form that male homosexuality has acquired throughout Western civilization - and not only in the West! ...

FWIW, I was married to a lady who's family were your Berkeley progressives, accepting of all but those hick Christians, I have never observed so much narrow mindedness, so much racist attitudes, so much nasty utopian socialist stupidity as I did in the 12 years I was part of that family. No Donavan, the real bigots and stupid people are those who insist on defining and categorizing people into groups, rather than treating each person as an individual who has value and thoughts of his own.
i would just like to address this one comment, you ignorantly made "Gay is not normal, it is an aberration, much like a mutation – it cannot reproduce except to infect a new host." you are categorically wrong, there are plenty of gays out there with their own biological children... i'm sure they would love to know that bigots like yourself are out there calling them 'infected'. you do realize you're a bigot, right?
i'm not actually here to educate you on what is being said by the psychiatric community. google it smart guy. i don't necessarily assert you're full of hate and for that matter you could just be uneducated and not a closeted gay... like i said though, you are 1 of 2 things or both, there is not gray area. asserting that there's a correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia is the first instance where you showed you're ignorance. pedophilia is almost exclusively a heterosexual condition... exert yourself a little more and look that up on google. why would you have a problem with my behavior? did i touch you? did i proposition you? did i touch your child? no i didn't... your problem with "my behavior" is based on both ignorance and insecurity. progressives often disconnect with conservatives because of social issues... we see bigots, like yourself, on the conservative side, which we don't see on the progressive side and we automatically know that if you have no comprehension of understanding something as easy as homosexuality, then how the hell are we supposed to think you can grasp something as complicated national policy?
"i’m not actually here to educate you on what is being said by the psychiatric community. google it smart guy."
Notice that I left the lack of punctuation intact, so that Donavan's superior education would shine through. Question is, Donavan. What makes you think that I have any respect for what the psychiatric community says. They also happen to say that adult men having sex with little boys is not damaging to the little boys. So I'm not terribly impressed with your "psychiatric community."
donavan,
It is precisely because your group (the homo lobby) is seeking to criminalize free speech and the free exercise of religion that I oppose you. I could care less what you type of sex you prefer, so long as you are not demanding approval by the hetero rest of us. But, us live-and-let-live types can no longer stand aside and allow little deviants like yourself to demand that society give positive tolerance of your self-destructive lifestyle choices. You are akin to an alcoholic who refuses to accept the fact that your behavioral choices are self -destructive. I noticed that you call me hateful and ignorant, yet, you do not refute that the homosexual lifestyle leads to a shorter lifespan for men, is rampant with drug and alcohol abuse, and does suffer from much physical and psychological abuse. So I don't really care much for the opinion on any sort of national policy from someone who has convinced himself that anal sex or oral sex with another man is a wise past time to be engaged in. Sometimes you got'ta point out that something that is sick and wrong is just that, sick and wrong.
donavan,
your grasp of the illogical is amusing. You cited the "common knowledge", so, you can prove it. This is the slight of hand of the left, behaviour equals identity. So, if I have a problem with your behaviour, I'm obviously full of hate. Donavan, why do you hate normalcy? Oh, there is a difference between being educated and being schooled. Most of you on the left are merely schooled in the orthodoxy of the day. I pity you . Looking at your comments reveals that in your mind, it is a game of gotcha, - if I oppose the mainstreaming of a deviant behaviour, in your world I must have repressed deviant tendencies.
Honestly, liberalism really is a mental disorder.
Common knowledge, Donavan? Who would that knowledge be common to? You and your gay friends? Do you really believe that everyone who sees homosexuality as abnormal is fantasizing about having sex your way while they're happily screwing their brains out with a member of the opposite sex? I think not. And hatred? No. I have friends that are gay. I do not hate my friends. Not even a little bit. Do I accept their lifestyle as normal? No. Not even a little bit. But I don't think it makes them bad people.
let me submit, rockinghorseguy, that when you say you have gay friends you are not truthful. you see, i would never befriend anyone who i don't feel should have the same rights as myself. you clearly admit that you think their abnormal ("not even a little bit") and that is not a friend. so maybe your definition of friendship differs from mine. to add, i clearly stated that those who see homosexuality can also just be uneducated, it's not necessarily that all of you are closeted gays. although there are a lot of you (closeted gays that is)
Donavan, I submit that you are assuming things about me that are not true. Why would you assume that I don't believe my friends should have the same rights that I do? Because I don't support SPECIAL rights for them? Two of the ladies that I have the most respect for in the world are married, and it doesn't bother me in the least. Abnormal? None of my friends are "normal." Normal people are boring people in my eyes. But each of my friends has their own abnormal aspects in their lives. These two women just happen to love each other very much, and that's not the way it usually is. And trust me, I am educated. Just not in your favorite liberal halls of learning. Climb down off your high horse and look around you, Donavan. There's a lot to learn down here with the people you have no respect for.
Donavan,
Oh, oh, you really got me there. . . what a pathetic attempt at an ad hominem.
Really, is that the best you can do??? So now your defense of homosexuality is to accuse me of being a closeted homosexual? As for this George Rekers, I could care less. I doubt the man ever claimed to be perfect, however, I do find the double life/slavery to sin quite tragic. So tell me, why do you secularists/pro-homos always accuse anyone who does not accept the homo-propaganda lies as being driven by hatred? I am inclined to pursue the truth, even when it is not always supportive of my positions. So which is more hateful, to promote a lifestyle that leads to promiscuity, has rampant drug and alcohol abuse, and leads to a a shorter lifespan, or to point out that said "lifestyle choice" ( I like to call it "sin") is self destructive?? Oh, far better to live a lie but have great self esteem. No insecurities here, I face my inner demons head on. As for your claim that homos and pederasty aren't linked is not supported by reality except in your twisted world. Get help man.
this isn't a gotcha game wes in mt. let me be clear.. because you seem to have problems understanding clarity. there is NO link between pedophilia and homosexuality and 99% of all pedophiles are in fact heterosexual. look it up smart guy. i know facts and science may not be part of your belief system, but those are the facts.
Kimmy Queen,
It's mind blowing because the whole package just works, I'm married to an amazing woman who really digs our time together, cuz I take the time. .. . .
Donavan, you are obvious a leftie douche bag, thinking that because I have a different world view than you homo-deviants, well then, I must be uneducated.
Yes homosexuality has existed from the beginning and every culture that has accepted it as somehow normal or to be aspired to has always wound up rotting from within, decadent and eventually dead. Ah, but you have somehow discovered that sucking some guy's johnson leads to enlightenment. . . . .
actually, we in mt, you could be 1 of 2 things or possibly 2 of 2 things. uneducated or gay.. or both. it's common knowledge that those who protest homosexuality the most do so because of the insecurity they have around their own feelings... much like Goerge Rekers, Family Research Counsel founding member and numerous others who have lead the hate cause. i doubt fellatio would lead to enlightenment, however your angry hatred is a clear indication you're dying to do it... or you're just blatantly stupid. i say you're both.
Hey No Name,
Here is what I do know. When exposed to "homonormativity" - that would be the effort by the gay activists to convince us that being gay is o.k. and normal , hell if you asked them I'm sure most of them would tell you it's what we all should strive for - nearly every child recoils at the sight or suggestion. That is the normal response. Gay is not normal, it is an aberration, much like a mutation - it cannot reproduce except to infect a new host. Now, unlike the 1.2 billion followers of the "religion of peace", I have no desire to lop your head off, (unless you try to touch my kids) just want you to stop ramming such verbose nonsense down our throats.
we in mt. you're an even bigger idiot that i thought when i commented before on something you said that was, also completely stupid. let me educate you... there is a difference between homosexuality and pedophilia and 99% of pedophiles are actually heterosexual, meaning not gay... to add, homosexuality has been in existence since the beginning of human beings and occurs frequently in animals. to say it's not normal, just shows that you are exactly what i asserted above... an idiot. crack a book....
But, Donavan? Is pedophilia normal? What if we use your liberal logic and look into ourselves, and we see a pedophile? Should we repress that feeling, or should we go out into the world and promote it as normal? I would also like to see your facts and figures stating that 99% of pedophiles are heterosexual. I also want to see your studies showing that there are animals out there having anal sex with each other.
Gee, it's been a year almost. You'd think donavan would have had time to do the research and answer those questions by now.
heteronormativity is not necessarily a problem more than it is an illusion. Through these deceiving films and the media, we along with our children, are exposed to the ‘naturalness’ of being heterosexual. We as humans place constructs and give genders abstract roles. Men are masculine, strong, domineering and women are submissive, domestic, weak. If you don’t believe me then look all around you and what do you see? Look at films and what do you see? Look at your workplace and what do you see? Look on a college campus and what do you see? Look within your own family structure and what do you see? These are not lies folks this is the truth. Heteronormativity is all about emphasizing these roles and creating boundaries for genders. This is not about having more gay sex at all! That statement is a complete fundamental misunderstanding of what these researchers are trying to reveal to us. Don’t forget that even in gay and lesbian relationships there is usually a masculine and feminine partner. This is all done through encouraging heteronormative behaviors! This transcends heterosexual individuals. All I ask everyone is to strip away everything you think you know about yourself. Who says that you need to be a certain way, walk a certain way, or talk a certain way? This article was written without the understanding of what heteronormativity is. So I suggest that the author should do their homework before creating misconceptions. I guess this is what always happens in the media, people written and saying things that create illusions and misunderstands. Kinda goes along with the theme of heteronormativity in children’s films doesn’t it?
Ok. I looked at myself. I saw a man, attracted to women. And only women. So I guess in your distorted view of the world, I am limiting myself. So, in that way, I'm normal I guess. Sorry.
