"One Million Moms" are calling for a boycott over this kiss. Screenshot via YouTube
The One Million Moms group is up in arms again over perceived threats to conservative families after the Disney Channels Star vs. the Forces of Evil showed same-sex couples kissing in a crowd.
In an email, the group admitted the displays of affection were subtle but painted the portrayal as the most recent in a string of gay-friendly offenses, Joe.My.God reports. The episode features a scene at a concert where people in the crowd, including some same-sex couples, kiss on cue with the song. The group also expressed concern over kisses shared between characters whose gender was not clear.
OMM claimed that the increase in LGBTQ characters and scenes was the result of pressure from gays.
Though this is the first on-screen same sex PDA, Disney has included a homosexual relationship in its TV show Good Luck Charlie. Disney has been under pressure from the gay community to portray openly gay relationships in its TV shows and movies, the group wrote. And last fall, the creators of Moana mentioned in an interview with a liberal media source that they wouldnt rule out an LGBT Disney princess. Director Ron Clements said, It seems like the possibilities are pretty open at this point.'

Not-Close-to-a-Million's (whatever sex and parental status they actually are) efforts to turn America against LGBTetcs have been blanket failures.

I'm not sure how many on-the-mouth kisses belong in cartoons to begin with. But, fairy tales have them as premises and we grow up with them.

(42,862 posts)... as determined by the Southern Poverty Law Center
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Family_Association#Labeled_a_hate_group
The Southern Poverty Law Center, in a 2005 report, stated that the AFA, along with other groups, engaged in hate speech to "help drive the religious right's anti-gay crusade."[172] Mark Potok of the SPLC determined that the turning point was 2003's Lawrence v. Texas, in which the Supreme Court struck down Texas's anti-sodomy laws. After that, the Christian right spent millions on advertisements,[172] and on pastor briefings organized by activists such as born-again Christian David Lane.[173] Lane helped AFA put constitutional opposite-sex marriage amendments on the ballots of 13 states.[172]
In November 2010, the SPLC changed their listing of AFA from a group that used hate speech to the more serious one of being designated a hate group.[174][175][176][177][178][179] Potok said that the AFA's "propagation of known falsehoods and demonizing propaganda" was the basis for the change.[180][181]
The AFA was greatly displeased with the designation as a hate group,[182] calling the list "slanderous".[183] In response to the SPLC's announcement, some members of the Christian right "called on Congress to cut off their funding."[184]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Family_Association#One_Million_Moms.2FOne_Million_Dads_project
AFA created One Million Moms and One Million Dads, two websites with the stated goal of mobilizing parents to "stop the exploitation of children" by the media. It uses these websites to organize boycotts and urge activists to send emails to mainstream companies employing advertising, selling products, or advertising on television shows they find offensive.[99] In 2012, the group started and then backed off from a failed campaign against the hiring of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson for department store chain JC Penney.[100] They opposed her employment on the grounds that DeGeneres is "an open homosexual".[101] At a taping of her show, DeGeneres informed her audience of the fizzled effort: "They wanted to get me fired and I am proud and happy to say JC Penney stuck by their decision to make me their spokesperson."[102]
The One Million Moms campaign expressed opposition to Marvel and DC Comics issues which featured gay characters, describing the storylines as a "brainwashing and desensitizing experience" for children, written to "influence them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable."[103]
On December 6, 2012, One Million Moms released a statement on their website, again objecting to JC Penney's use of Ellen DeGeneres as spokesperson in a Christmas-themed commercial, saying, "Since April, JC Penney's has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now. A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again."[104]
The organization has also criticized GEICO for a commercial showing Maxwell the Pig in a car with a human girl, saying it suggests bestiality.[105]
In 2015, the organization criticized a Campbell's ad that depicted two dads taking care of their child by feeding him Campbell's Star Wars soup. The organization claimed the ad "normaliz(ed) sin."[106]
