Disney touts a pro-family image but openly embraces the homosexual agenda The homosexual agenda (or the gay agenda) is a term used by some social conservatives in the United States to describe the goal of increasing LGBT acceptance and equality through public policies, media exposure, and cultural change. . The Disneyland theme parks are New-Age oriented with God wholly absent. They carry special "Gay Days." Their films (Pulp Fiction, Kids, Priest, Color of Night, etc.) include violence, sex and homosexual and anti-Christian themes. Details may be obtained from The Internet.

Many other groups are joining the boycott. In July the American Catholic Civil Rights League protested the forthcoming ABC TV show Nothing Sacred as nothing more than a political and religious attack on the Catholic Church, promoting dissenting, lax, sexual morality, among other things.
