Alabama Family Drive-In Won’t Show Disney Movie Because Of Gay Character…

Principles over profit. Update to this previous story.

Via AL Com:

    A drive-in theater in northeast Alabama said it will not show Disney’s Beauty and the Beast because it features a homosexual character.

    The Henagar Drive-In Theatre in DeKalb County posted on its Facebook page on Thursday night.

    “If we cannot take our 11-year-old granddaughter and 8-year-old grandson to see a movie, we have no business watching it,” the theater posted on its Facebook page. “If I can’t sit through a movie with God or Jesus sitting by me then we have no business showing it.”

    The theater’s Facebook page, as of late Friday afternoon, no longer accessible. AL.com has been in contact with the theater owners but they have not yet commented about not showing the movie.

'Over profit' is kind of an assumption.  They know who their customers are better than anyone on the internet, I'm guessing they have a pretty good idea that screening this one is going to cause them more of a shitstorm than it's worth to take a pass on it.
