The Guardian is reporting on the American Family Association and their recent lift of their Disney Ban. The Mississippi-based American Family Association (AFA) instigated the boycott in 1996 after accusing Disney of “promoting homosexuality” and associating itself with “trash films”. The organization demanded that Disney form an advisory panel of evangelical Christians and ban “Gay Day” revellers from visiting its theme parks in California and Florida. It also objected to the company’s association with Miramax, the studio which had a hand in films such as Pulp Fiction and Fahrenheit 9/11.
Conservative Christians are also heartened by Disney’s decision to adapt The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first book in CS Lewis’s classic series of Narnia stories.
Although set in a magical land populated by talking beasts and witches, Lewis’s tales are traditionally read as thinly-veiled Christian allegories.
Side Note: Looking around the AFA’s website, I came accross this pressing concern “According to Advertising Age magazine, the four major networks are closer to airing ads for condoms than ever before. In February, the networks were “leaning” toward prime-time commercials for condoms.” and their response- “Aren’t you tired of the networks abusing the use of public airwaves to air offensive and inappropriate material? It is inconceivable to think that the networks can get away with broadcasting these kinds of ads when they know our children will be watching.”
but these same people let there children read “… because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”- Hosea 13:16
