Unlearning the Myths that Blind Us

My think piece is on Christensen's, Unlearning the Myths that Blind Us. I think it is extremely important how society and Disney films and everyone that back them up how they display their "Happily Ever Afters" and how they pursue happiness in these Disney movies. For instance for a young woman watching Cinderella, their views on the out come of the movie would be that you will find a man one day and be truly happy,  their is magic that is involved in the story, and everyone will live happily ever after. Well for one we do not have magic in reality i can not summon a dragon to ride to Dunkin Donuts. Children view magic in a bunch of Disney movies which is besides my main objective. One day you will find happiness in a human and get married either a man with a women or a woman with a man. Not many Disney movies or shows would set the plot on two men or two women finding love. The majority of society view that homosexuality is wrong and against gods will based on a strong catholic heritage, but with many LGBT's groups and organizations have started to form a movement where more and more children's books and movies are viewing more and more gays together. But the majority is still showing Princes marrying Princesses. I would love to see how our next few generations form and adapt to the world and our new views and ways. I just would love to see into the future to see what it holds if we have say, half the Disney movies homosexuality oriented and the other have straight oriented. I would love to see how society and children will act and view people that are homosexual in the next 20 so years.

I was streaming through videos on youtube about homosexuality inferred into Disney movies. Through my searches i found a bunch of videos that promote "Gay Day" in either Disney World or Disney Land, people video tape their times at these events. I'm cantankerous about Disney having these days because gays are aloud to go all the time just to have a day for homosexuals is just a little silly, i fell like it just points out that they are different  but that is just me. A youtube page called "Nerd Alert" touched base on some important  facts about Disney and some connections with the new movie Frozen. If you have a second you should read the comments on the bottom of the video. Its sad to see how inconsiderate and harsh society is after reading some of the comments.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sYAGOfAAeA
