I always did like Ursula more than Ariel...not because I disliked Ariel but Ursula was more awesome. However, Pat Carrol is very Catholic I heard so, who knows about her now either?!
WE SHOULD STILL LOVE JODI AND ARIEL AND FORGIVE HER FOR MAYBE A WRONG BELIEF LIKE JODI SEEMS TO FORGIVE US, RIGHT? She disapproves of what she thinks is a sin, but still loves the people who she thinks are sinning.

Er... no, it's not. Acting on being gay is something that comes from your biological/natural 'settings': you are either gay or you aren't, and to act upon it is not a choice, but a result from the way you were 'wired' from inception. Now, being a Christian is a different thing altogether. You're not born a Christian, you're not 'set' to be one. You don't "feel it inside you" all by yourself until you're being told by somebody else: a parent, a teacher, a friend, the media etc. Had you been born in Pakistan, you would've been a Muslim. Not because you "felt Allah inside of you", but because you were taught that way.
Ah, not quite. First, love itself is not something biological. Love is not physical. It transcends all that. Some would say it comes from the soul. Just like love of, or belief in, God. I will never believe in the "wired" way of looking at humans and their desires. It's not good to think just biology and experiences are at work, there's also a will, or a soul, you know. So maybe in Pakistan I would be suppressed and taught God is something I don't quite think he is here and now, but my soul may just believe other things than I am taught, just like no one in my family likes Disney like me, I never had an experience with anyone who liked Disney like me before I became the fan I did at like 5, and yet, my soul did like Disney that much at 5, and ended up being the avid member of this site I am today! And by the way, your reasoning actually would go for gays, too. Gay people do rely partially on the experiences of knowing that other people have been with the same sex, or that the same sex ever could like them back, otherwise they'd be in the dark about what the heck they were feeling. And since I believe I feel both gay love and God's love inside of me, I'd say both are part of my soul, not a choice, just perhaps a choice to listen to and go with either my sexuality, God, or both.

I predicted you'd say something like that. I guess the closest thing I can say is the feelings we get from anything are hardly ever choices. Though later we can and may change how we feel, though not things like homosexuality and sometimes not even certain beliefs of ours, mister, but this discussion is not for this thread!

I think we need to. I think ignorance should be combatted with all possible means.
Well, if by "we need to" you mean we need to show her that being gay is not a choice and is okay without holding her down, then I agree.
