One million moms, Calls For 'Wicked' Boycott Due To Film main characters being gay in real life and witchcraft theme

note: the film has already made $460 million dollars. and is back in the number one spot again, ahead of Moana 2

https://www.comicsands.com/one-million-moms-wicked-boycott

The conservative Christian group One Million Moms has demanded a boycott of the popular musical film due to its "openly queer" characters and its "tremendous amount of witchcraft and sorcery."

----------------------------


In an email sent to its followers, One Million Moms wrote:

“Four of the film’s main characters are openly queer or gay in real life, or at the minimum, these actors have spoken about their queer experiences.”



“Universal has now decided to be politically correct instead of providing family-friendly programming.”

“As moms, we all want to know when Universal is attempting to desensitize our children by normalizing the LGBTQ lifestyle.”



This is presumably a reference to stars Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, and Marissa Bode, who are all LGBTQ+, but none of the film's characters are explicitly queer and there are no queer elements to the storyline.

Who do they think they are to censor what others choose watch at the movies?

Better to channel all of that energy into something positive.

God's music was 3:4 time, remember? Religion's schtick doesn't change much. You can fool some of the people all of the time.
