We have purchased every season on iTunes since the start of the show, which we will discontinue. My 2 year old son saw two women kissing, an age too young to discuss sexuality issues. This was out of left field for a show we have trusted as appropriate for all audiences.

I'm curious: what exactly is the so-called "gay agenda?" Gay people are less concerned with turning your children into homosexuals than they are with living a healthy, normal life. I promise you, had this television program been aired in the 50's or 60's and it showed an interracial couple, the majority of you would be jumping down the network's throats like you are right now. I will concede, homosexuality by biblical terms is a sin, but isn't also bigotry, judgment, extramarital affairs, and many other terms by the laws of Leviticus? Before you begin to tear apart a group of people who have provided a safe haven for an LGBT person to be themselves for many decades and for decades more to come. Ask yourself: how many of the men you see working at Disneyland are homosexuals? For many children throughout America, a home with two mommies or two daddies is a normal, "traditional" home. Let's also remind ourselves of this: in the Disney cartoon Mulan, she cross-dresses as a man to join the army. Li Shang falls in love with her. The majority of the time he knew her, she was, to him, Ping, a male. Where do you think this ridiculous hate is going to get you? And for those of you who believe that the introduction of LGBT characters will doom a show, what about Kurt, Blaine, Santana, Brittany, Quinn, and many others on Glee? Tara and Denise on The Walking Dead? Andrew, Lee, and Bob of Desperate Housewives fame? Danny, Ethan, Corey, and Mason from Teen Wolf? All these shows are hugely successful in portraying both LGBT and straight couples together, many of them award-winning shows. Also, how many of you petitioned Disney's 2014 effort Into the Woods, in which Johnny Depp's character of the Wolf sings along with Little Red Riding Hood in a very seductive manner as if he were to sexually assault her? Additionally, what all do we know of Red Riding Hood and Dorothy except how they behaved as children? Both of the stories focus on children, with no footnote that tells us they ma

The LGBT is in our faces day in and day out on every single show and I've come to just deal with it BUT this is the ONE and only show I could watch with my little girl and now you're shoving it in HER face so I guess she can't watch it anymore because it's just not fair to her!!

Disney has proven for almost 30 years that it can thrive without the support of close-minded people like you, so if you don't like it just crawl back into your hole and STFU.

This is a family show. I am tired of seeing LGBT on every show out there. It is sad that this is happening. I have gay family members love and except them. But don't want to see this EVERYWHERE! It is sad that all networks are being forced them to show it ALL the time. Please let there be show children can watch. I was a huge once upon a time fan as is my daughter but We will no longer be watching. Thanks for ruining this!

Ummmm? I'm a Christian woman and I believe in God's word Romans 2:1-2 "1Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.…" When the scripture says "practice the same things" it does not LITERALLY mean that you are a practicing gay! Its means that you practice sinning and in fact you are practicing literlly by judging LGBT people. There is NO Christian person on this earth who is free of sin! We are all sinners! LGBT people should not be condemned, ridiculed, judged, or omitted. They deserve to be represented authentically and not represented as perverts and undesirables. When you choose to teach your children to judge LGBT people by referring to them as perverts and other disparaging things, when you teach them to HATE LGBT people, when you start a petition like this....you are condemning your children and leading them away from what God would want them to be. He wants them to be NON-JUDGEMENTAL. Jesus said in John 8:7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” We as Christians should not cast stones at LGBT people. STOP this petition. If you have not noticed, the LGBT civil rights movement is very powerful. They will WIN because they will not allow anyone to omit or discriminate against them. If you don't like what's on TV then you have the right to change the channel. You even have the right to not own a TV, but you don't have the right to discriminate against LGBT people because you don't identify as LGBT. No corporation will be moved to act on discriminating against LGBT people because you want them to. Soooo you do have the right to watch Christian television networks that have family programming that you and your children can enjo

Will no longer watch show due to regrettable decision by creators to promote unnatural and destructive LGBT lifestyle.

"Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?" This study, published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology shows that, "Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8772014

Homosexuality is not normal, people aren't born that way, they choose to be that way. I don't hate gays, I pray for them, that God shows them the truth & I don't bully them.

I went on the Once Upon a Time website and complained. All I got was ridicule and rudeness from them. I had to stop reading them I was so upset. I thought I was the only one mad. I'm so glad to sign this petition!
