you're clearly one of those people who seems to have a problem with gay anything showing up in movies, TV, etc,
That's false. I have a problem with the constant "homosexuality is conducive to human flourishing" proselytizing found regularly in movies and TV. Characterizing that as having a problem with anything gay showing up in movies is both false and uncharitable.
I'm sorry, but if THAT'S what you're getting from this stuff, then you're ACTIVELY looking to be offended, pick a fight, etc. If you watched this movie, and in the brief few seconds a gay couple was on screen, truly thought, "They're clearly trying to show that homosexuality is conducive to human flourishing," I don't know what to tell you. Because it just ain't there, at all. The movie simply *depicted* a gay couple on screen for a few seconds. AT WORST it was pandering, but it was about as innocuous as pandering can be, all things considered. Either way, NOTHING about their appearance said, "Being gay is essential to human flourishing."
It was literally nothing more than a depiction of a loving family being torn apart. No different than the depiction of a loving, heterosexual family being torn apart.
Tell me, do you get this upset when heterosexual families are shown flourishing on screen in the face of divorce, infidelity, and infertility? Because, both biologically and psychologically, none of those things are conducive to human flourishing either. Yet I don't see you in other threads, raising a stink when those kinds of non-conducive behaviors appears in those movies. It's *only* for the gay stuff. I wonder why that is...
