AFA vice-president Tim Wildmon said, "After hyping the media since last September, Disney and ABC have finally decided to scorn the moral sensibilities of millions of Americans. We will be publicizing the advertisers who are willing to push the homosexual agenda."
The April 30 episode is scheduled for production this week, and will show the Images character, Ellen Morgan, coming to grips with her sexual orientation, according to USA TODAY. She discovers that she is attracted to a woman, played by Laura Dern (Jurassic Park), and goes to see a therapist, played by Oprah Winfrey.
Disney's push to promote homosexuality through ABC programming was corroborated by Brent Bozell of the Media Researach Center. He told the listening audience on American Family Radio that last May "Michael Eisner, the head of Disney, called Matt Williams, the producer for HOME IMPROVEMENT, and told him that he wanted him to put in two new characters. They were to be a gay couple, moving in next door to Tim Allen's family on that show. Why? Because they wanted to give this gay couple prominence and then after a couple seasons spin them off into their own show."
According to Bozell, Williams, and later Tim Allen, the star of HOME
IMOROVEMENT, refused Eisner's request, saying it would destroy the show.
But Eisner has apparently found a willing collaborator in DeGeneres.
