Are you talking about Keith? The one with the longer black hair in the picture posted earlier? Also, the short one? He is def a male. And he isn’t the one they the male marries.
 
Only the beginning, I fear. But it’s all been predicted. In Revelation, and in the words of Christ Himself.
Maran atha!
 
Whenever I find out an actor or actress of a show or movie I like is a practicing homosexual, I am always disappointed and sad. I think the reason is, we create a level of emotional attachment to these characters and it hurts when that attachment is broken to some degree. Why emotional chastity is important in even what we watch (plenty of Catholics don’t even think emotional chastity is real lol).

But we have to remember, that we can’t hate the fact there are gay people, they are children of God who deserve love. We must reject their sinful act of having homosexual sex and such, but the person themself deserve love and respect. I absolutely hate pornography and part of me wants to hate the actors and those that run the industry, it’s so terrible and ruins lives. But I have to remind myself that these actors deserve love, they are humans who need respect, especially when they fail to respect themselves
 
And he does have his “armor” on so he would be drawn differently than the tall one since the tall one doesn’t have armor.
 
The shorter one in the earlier picture. That’s who I was referring to.

I’m not familiar with the show. But glancing at the picture it looks like a man with a uniform and a woman with a uniform.

I guess I’m wrong on my assumption.
 
Yeah, me too! I feel the same way. The good thing is that Voltron is a cartoon so the characters are entirely made up and fake.
 
It is concerning they’re doing this in a kids show. I would advise recognizing how important it is to prepare the children for entering a world that as adults will continue in this direction as decades go on. The child must be prepared by adulthood to have a healthy view over how the Church’s teaching is compatible with loving others. Because these sorts of presentations that normalize this thing don’t just normalize it. It attacks the faith if we simply react to it with fear and hatred. That’s what they mean by homophobia and that’s what leds people to discount the Church’s teaching altogether.

So as hard as it may be, we have to have conversations with our children about how our lives are set apart from the rest of the world. We hold ourselves to higher moral standards and Christ calls others to this life of virtue. At the same time, this being set apart includes not giving in the temptation to stare at those on the outside with judgment. We must guard ourselves from spiritual vanity. Always look with eyes of love on others, and recognize that God is at work even in the darkness. Afterall, Christ ate with sinners.
 
If the writers and producers have to insert a raunchy sex scene every five minutes or so, in addition to demonstrating how debased they are it indicates a general lack of creativity, in my opinion.

I think in terms of shows like this and media in general, I really wish growing up my parents were more strict on usage of media and what movies and tv shows are appropriate to watch. As a 20YO, looking back on it, I can definitely say I learned the hard way and it came with years of pain. Definitely not how I would raise children if I was so blessed to have any in my future.

Don’t get me wrong, my parents are good and holy people but they never talked about sex or porn or any of these perverse acts and as such it led me to curiosity, and a failing to have custody over my eyes and ears. These should be issues to talk about openly, sex isn’t evil, it’s literally a reaffirmation of our faith (Theology of the Body!!!) but I thought it was evil for years, same with attraction so I tried to suppress it. Now as a 20YO, I am free of these impure sins, thank Jesus! But I still have the emotional and mental scars from them and even now it is hard to communicate with women who I find attactive because I suppressed all emotional feelings for years after being enslaved to impure actions and pornographic images.

Let this be a lesson for you as well, we are called as Catholics to have custody over our eyes and ears, and even the smallest thing can be a gateway to bigger things. One impure thought leads to impure picture which leads to impure action which leads to impure videos… same is the case with anything impure (this show you are referring to even). Don’t let it be a gateway to worse temptations and sins for you. Have custody over your eyes and ears always.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us!
 
I refuse to watch any movie with nudity or excessive sexual scenes whether the movie is interesting or not, I will not use my money to support a movie like that. Women are objectifed far too much as it is and I will not put one cent to it going any further. Not to mention movies like this are the near-occasion of sin.
 
Sad that there isn’t more Catholic programming. There are some great films with Catholic-aligned moral teaching and no sex of any kind at all–LOTR, There be Dragons, Risen, Into Great Silence, even Pan’s Labyrinth. But they’re in the minority.

I enjoy horror and suspense movies, especially ones like Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Shawshank Redemption, When the Bough Breaks, The Call… these don’t have many sexual parts at all because it’s not the nature of these types of movies. Given that, each do have a scene or two I can recall that have sexual aspects but they go over younger viewers head’s easily
 
And one can be assured that if it’s an HBO drama (or STARZ, among others) it is guaranteed to have pornographic content. I’ve written those channels off.
 
I actuall just watched the hobbit. Planning on watching lord of the rings next. Such a great series! Don’t know how many times I’ve watched it
 
I’m fine with thriller/drama like A Quiet place, but I can’t do horror. Too scared😖. Plus, i could go without horror images in my head🤔
 
I wish they’d make “Okay for Now” by Gary Schmidt into a feature film. In a “Young Adult” literature market that is increasingly pornographic, Schmidt’s book celebrates innocence and family.

Read “Making Gay Okay” book by Robert Reilly. He explains why we see more and more homosexual prevalence in our culture. He explains how homosexuality was changed from being a disorder in DSM manual in 1973 without any studies or evidence to back up that change. He explains how, in general, in order to do something wrong, the individual needs to rationalize to themselves that it is right. But he explains the modernist/secularist community realized that homosexuality couldn’t be rationalized on an individual basis and hence the rationalization needed to be Universalized. Hence the gay agenda started in 70s and has been building up steam so that in the past decade its reached full speed
