The conservative family advocacy group One Million Moms criticized Disney+’s new series, “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” for promoting LGBT themes and witchcraft. The series, which debuted on Disney+ last month, has sparked controversy for its portrayal of lesbian characters using supernatural elements to conceive children.

“The Acolyte,” the latest addition to the ‘Star Wars’ franchise, incorporates a narrative in which characters harness the mystical “force” to initiate childbirth among lesbians. According to One Million Moms, this element signifies a clear stance by Disney+ in the ongoing cultural conflict over media content standards.

The group contends that such themes are inappropriate for a platform widely regarded as child-friendly but also indicative of a larger agenda by Disney to engage in the cultural war rather than provide neutral, family-oriented entertainment.

“Disney+ has been under pressure from the gay community to portray openly gay relationships in its TV shows and movies, including those created for families,” the group said in a statement. This new series is a response to those demands, with its overtly lesbian storyline.

“The Acolyte” has been designed to appeal to a progressive audience from its inception. The series creator, Leslye Headland, has been vocal about her intentions to create a narrative that resonates with queer individuals, inspired by personal experiences and previous Disney works like “Frozen,” which portrayed non-heterosexual love as true love.

In an interview posted on X, Headland explained that her desire was “to make something like this that is, you know, for lack of a better term, Disney, meaning something that like my parents would have allowed me to see when I was younger as a queer person, that I would have been able to understand as a queer person.” She asserted that had such a program existed, she “would have had a completely different life.”

Headland’s approach to “Star Wars” was not just about adding new characters but about reshaping the understanding of familial and romantic relationships within the narrative framework of the “High Republic” era of the “Star Wars” universe.

The portrayal of diverse sexual orientations is not isolated to “The Acolyte.” Other franchises, such as DC Comics, have also embraced similar narratives. For instance, DC announced on National Coming Out Day in 2021 that Superman’s son, Jon Kent, would be depicted as bisexual in the “Superman: Son of Kal-El” series. Earlier that year, “Batman: Urban Legends” featured Robin in a romantic relationship with a male friend.

Consider also the takeover by LGBTQ of the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympic Games, it demonstrates that the move to take God and His values out of society is worldwide. Biblical prophecy foretells this lawlessness and persecution of Christians before Jesus returns to restore righteousness and usher in His Millennial Kingdom (http://www.millennialkingdom.net)

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:9-13
