Well, I'd like to know from the OP if her boy asked about the line in the movie. Because I don't think small kids would have gotten any sexuality from it at all. Older kids would, but older kids already know about it, trust me.
I think Bambi has more sexuality in it. The owl tries to explain to Bambi how during a certain time of the year (mating season), you'll start to like girls. Bambi scoffs until he sees a pretty doe, than BAM - he's twitterpated. Twitterpated = horny, plain and simple. Did little kids catch that? Probably not.

That its not natural to show the typical traits of the movie designed to appeal to the normal folk, the average folk watching, including the typical female falling in love with the so called hero, only to have this twist.
It would be a let down as well to the natural storyline, to most people, and would be a huge disappointment based on Natural Expectations built into people by the script.

I just recall hearing my father wince and looking away.
I know some straight guys can't help it, but that also implied something to me about building a barrier, and not being myself for very long time.

Not very politically correct, I know (its not the people I dislike, it's their actions).
It's not very a number of things
Calling it their 'actions' is undermining the gravity of their situation. It's a full on sexual orientation out of their control. Dislike it if you wish, call it abomination if you desire, but please understand calling it 'actions' is way too simplistic of a view and in fact greatly undervalues even heterosexual orientation as they are the same (minus the obvious omission of the sexes involved). I assume you understand it is an orientation not of choice.

Some people choose to be celibate.
Many choose heterosexuality.
Some choose homosexuality.
Some are unable to be sexual, either psychologically or physically.
I believe that in the world, today, the vast majority of homosexuals are actually by choice and very few can claim that "nature made them that way". This does not mean that they don't exist, just that choice plays a big part for most.
It's never simple.

I think that is just wishful thinking on your part.
Why you choose to think that way is unknown.

As I previously stated, I was, at one stage aggressively pursued by a homosexual, who would not take no for an answer. I had to extremely strenuously reject their constant physical advances and threaten them with the law to stop them. I eventually chose to quit my employment to escape from their sexual harassment. This cost me in both personal and financial terms.
The person in question had previously been married with children but had chosen to make a mid-life change. I have no question in my mind that their change of sexual orientation was one of choice and was motivated by factors other than biological assignment.
But wait! I support gay rights! I believe consenting adults can do whatever they want! So why would this bother me on such a deep and fundamental level?
The fact is, I didn’t like my 6 year old son hearing that declaration. It was a visceral reaction, not a conscious one at all. Almost like an instinct, I guess you could say.

what would you do if someone was trying to turn your children gay?
Originally posted by ErtaiNaGia
Because having children is the innate instinct to preserve one's own genetic material, or heritage... a form of immortality, and continued existence that all biological organisms seek.
Are you serious?
What an ignorant statement.
You don't turn anyone gay.
However - - supporting young children who know they are "different" is vital.
Exactly.
There is not one unselfish reason to bring another child into this world.
