Fox News commentator Todd Starnes was horrified last week by a kiss between two female characters in the ABC show “Once Upon a Time,” saying that it left parents “having to explain things that they should not have to explain to their kids — stuff that would make Mickey Mouse blush.”
Starnes took the time to criticize the episode in a radio segment hailing the late actress (and gay rights advocate) Doris Roberts. The Fox pundit lamented that he “stopped watching the major networks because of all that racy content.”
“Instead of entertainment, it seems like they are pushing an agenda,” he said. “Television programs like ‘Nashville’ and ‘Glee’ and, most recently, ‘Once Upon a Time.’ I received dozens of notes from moms and dads upset over an episode recently that included a passionate lesbian kiss between two of the characters.”
One Million Moms, the group affiliated with the anti-LGBT American Family Association, urged its members to ask TJ Maxx to pull the company’s support from the program for “purposefully pushing a gay agenda”:
ABC's "Once Upon a Time" introduced a lesbian couple during this week's episode which 1MM and parents find completely unnecessary. On the other hand, the producers said the inclusion of homosexuality in a show popular with kids was "important." Many families watch the program based on beloved children's fairytales, but unfortunately, ABC has distorted and twisted the storylines in these fables.

In a series of flashbacks, a romance brews between the two women. A sleeping curse leads Ruby to bestow true love's kiss on Dorothy to wake her. One kiss breaks the spell, but many follow in a brief make out session as the munchkins from Oz watch. Click here to see image.
"Once Upon a Time" is a far from innocent fairytale entangling favorite Disney characters in a new, modern storyline. When it debuted in 2011 it was called "the most family-friendly drama on any broadcast network in the past ten years" and Common Sense Media rated it for children 12 and up. So naturally, with its family-friendly 8:00 pm ET/7:00 pm CT Sunday night time slot, it attracts younger viewers and parents who still think of Disney as wholesome. Of course, 1MM knows that Disney has not been wholesome for some time and, once again, they are purposefully pushing a gay agenda.

Homosexuality continues to be over-represented in the media because producers want people, and especially kids, to think it's normal and everyday life. In reality, that is their fairytale.
