Commentary on our times

While home this weekend, I saw Happy Feet...don't ask. After watching it, I couldn't help but think that this movie was an allegory for homosexuality in our society. A "different" penguin is an outcast (he tap dances not sings) in his society and is said to be the cause of all misfortune, so he is banished. But, it is only when the penguins embrace his diversity, that their problems are solved.

Interesting... I wonder how many rednecks took their kids to see the movie and ended up giving them an education on embracing homosexuality?
