How to Build An Epic Universe

I don't know about you, but Universal's fantastic Epic Universe has me excited about theme parks again! The Orlando Sentinel reports that to celebrate it all, NBC and then Peacock is about to premier a brand new show all about its creation. I'm looking forward to August 20th and 21st, respectively. It'll have to hold me over until I get to visit the park for myself. But, man, I cannot wait to do so!

Gay Man's View: Beauty Robs Innocence of Kids

"Prime-time network television is geared for an adult audience; one that understands the world we live in. Adults have long lost their innocence. Whether it be sex, drugs or violence, many of us have had our eyes open to the hardships of the world. We lost our innocence when we grew out of adolescence, but do we really want our kids to lose theirs in adolescence?" 

Openly gay attorney Joseph R. Murray 

In this quote from his opinion piece for the Orlando Sentinel, attorney Joseph R. Murray reflects on the logic behind Disney's inclusion of gay characters in Beauty and the Beast- and what it may cost our children. The entire piece is certainly worth a read. 

Note: Again, as I said earlier, the decision of how to educate our children on topics we deem important should be the choice of parents and not the decision of the government and entertainment companies. I plan on seeing the film for myself as my schedule permits.
