WATCH: Disney PSA of Boy With Two Moms Incites Right-Wing Outrage
The ultraconservative Media Research Center objects to the offhand mention of a teen's two mothers in a spot in Disney's 'Make Your Mark' campaign.
A video in the Disney Channels Make Your Mark public service campaign has drawn the wrath of a conservative media watchdog group because it features a teenager with lesbian parents.
In the spot, a 14-year-old named Ben introduces viewers to his world, which includes my moms, with a brief clip of two women, then goes on to tell how he made a film denouncing bullying.
The offhand mention of his two mothers was too much the right-wing Media Research Center, which touts its mission as exposing and combating liberal media bias. In a post on the centers NewsBusters blog, director of media analysis Tim Graham notes a gay bloggers praise for the spot and asserts that activists want Disney to lead the way toward LGBT acceptance among the grade-school set.
Mediaite blogger Andrew Kirell takes Graham to task for being so upset about this teeny tiny snippet of information at 12 seconds into the video.
