NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Southern Baptists have voted to end their boycott of the Walt Disney Co., a move that comes eight years after the group condemned as immoral and "gay-friendly" everything from the company's same-sex employee benefits to the TV show "Ellen."

"We felt like it was time to end it," said Gene Mims, chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention committee that put a new Disney resolution before some 12,000 members at the denomination's annual convention Wednesday.

The Disney resolution, passed in 1997, called for Southern Baptists to refrain from patronizing Disney theme parks and products, mainly because of the company's decision to give benefits to companions of gay employees.

Southern Baptists should continue to monitor the "products and policies of the Disney Company," according to the new resolution, which also urged members to "practice continued discernment regarding all entertainment products from all sources."

Don't they have more important things to do? Like work on their lives and "walk". Perhaps they figured out their protests, whatever it may be....gay, rock n roll, what a person wears, hair color......has no bearing or impact in our society.

Perhaps they realized that it is a fucking free country. I fucking hate religious nuts imposing their views on others.

Why do religious people feel the need to impose their views on others?

Is there a difference between a religious redneck and Muslim?

I wonder if they really decided to end their boycott because no one knew they had a boycott or really cared either way?

The first I ever heard about such a boycott is this post today, confirming that they are ending such boycott.

on the other hand, why is it people so opposed to "religion" always shoving their views in everyones face in the same manner?

When's the last time "non-believers" publically boycotted something in the name of anything?

On an individual and group basis, I see it daily.

Type in "boycotted groups" into google and you will find pages of people/groups doing the very same extreemist activity as "religious" groups.

Good news is: more money for Disney.
Bad news is: longer lines at all the water rides.

Well then that number would be cut in half if the religious groups would shaddap.

But seriously, boycotting disneyland because it provides gay workers with benefits?

Oh the horror.

I agree a lot of activity with "extremist" of all types are a bit over the top and have little to no credible basis.

Instead they are filled with personal agenda's; AKA my point in my first post. :thumb:
