A classic drive-in theater in northeast Alabama said it was cancelling plans to show Disney’s new Beauty & the Beast film, about a girl who falls in love with an animal, because of the film’s. Thank you for your support! That's fine. A drive-in movie theater in Alabama has decided not to screen "Beauty and the Beast," Disney's live-action remake of the animated classic, due to the inclusion of a gay character.

We all make choices and I am making mine. An Alabama theater has canceled its screenings of "Beauty and the Beast" because the film will feature a gay character. Movies scheduled prior to that date and four weeks after this date were not scheduled by the new owners.

If I can't sit through a movie with God or Jesus sitting by me then we have no business showing it. Here's the statement in full from the theater's Facebook post that went up last night. We will continue to show family oriented films so you can feel free to come watch wholesome movies without worrying about sex, nudity, homosexuality and foul language.

It isn't clear yet if other theaters plan to ban the movie before it hits theaters in just two weeks, on March The owners announced the ban on the theater's Facebook page last night, which already has more than 1, shares and 2, comments.

A theater in Alabama cancels viewings for Beauty and the Beast after it was revealed one of the live-action film’s characters will be gay. Regardless of one theater's decision to ban the movie, this fairy tale adaptation is shaping up to be one of this year's first huge box office blockbusters.

We will not compromise on what the Bible teaches. The comments on the post are quite divisive, with some praising the theater for standing up for Christian values, while others have blasted the theater for their decision. I know there will be some that do not agree with this decision.

It's unclear if Disney will issue a statement in regards to this drive-in theater ban for Beauty and the Beastbut we'll have to wait and see if the studio responds, or if more theaters follow this Alabama theater's lead. LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers at a drive-in theater in Alabama won’t be able to see a retelling of the “tale as old as time.” The Henagar Drive-In Theatre in DeKalb County has canceled its screenings of “Beauty and the Beast” because the film will Disney’s first openly gay character.

That being said It is with great sorrow that I have to tell our customers that we will not be showing Beauty and the Beast at the Henagar Drive-In when it comes out. We are first and foremost Christians. Earlier this week, Beauty and the Beast director Bill Condon confirmed in an interview that his upcoming adaptation will make history by featuring the first ever gay character in a Disney movie, Josh Gad 's Le Fou.

The movie will feature the studio's first ever "exclusively gay moment," as the director put it, but this news has lead one Alabama drive-in theater to ban the movie for just that reason. The producer also says at the end of the movie "there will be a surprise for same-sex couples".

The movie's first two trailers broke records for the most views in a hour period, and it is already an early critical success. If we can not take our 11 year old grand daughter and 8 year old grandson to see a movie we have no business watching it.

Some fans pointed out on the Facebook post that the movie has been rated PG, and that year-old and eight-year-old children shouldn't watch the movie anyway. Earlier this week, Bill Condon, the film's director, revealed that villager Le Fou--played by Josh Gad-- will be the company's first gay character.

When companies continually force their views on us we need to take a stand. For those that do not know Beauty and the Beast is "premiering" their first homosexual character.
