What Is Wrong With "Beauty and the Beast"?

Why should we have so much hatred over a movie?

After the recent controversy about gay characters being in the new movie, "Beauty and the Beast," people are now wanting to boycott Walt Disney productions, especially this new movie. I can understand why people want to Boycott Disney, but I believe some people are taking it too far.

I understand that there is a scene where there are two guy's playing as gay people in the new movie. Yes, I believe if someone is going to recreate an old movie, they should make the movie on the same story line and characters. I know the writers and film directors want to make some scene's different, but when you redo the characters, then there is a problem.

I know several kids were looking forward to watching this new movie and now parents will not allow them to watch it because of a little scene. I understand that and if I had a small child, I would not let them watch it as well. I would simply show them the old cartoon movie, the one I grew up watching. If I had a middle school aged or teenager, I would let them watch it, but I would be with them when they watched it. I feel like this is a great lesson to learn about why you should follow the Bible and what you believe in, rather than what is on the media, in movies, and what everyone else is doing.

This movie is a great lesson to teach older kids about not being gay and how we should follow what our parents have showed us what to do and what not to do. Even if it is a new movie and your child wants to see it so bad, it does not mean you should let them. I grew up wanting to watch several movies when I was young, but my parents would tell me that I was too young and that someday I would eventually see it when I grew up. I realize this is a classic movie, but let them watch the one everyone grew up on! Just because it is new, does not mean that is the only movie around.

I am not trying to offend everyone who reads this, but I believe too many people are talking about this movie controversy too much. I believe everyone has the right to raise concern about what is going on when they believe it is the wrong thing. Unfortunately, we live in a world when someone does not get their way, they pout and complain about it. What would Jesus do in this situation? Would He still love the people that wrote the movie and who play the characters in the movie or would He hate them over something that He disagrees with? Jesus would more than likely state why that situation was wrong and than continue to love them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
