Fox and the Hound teaches acceptance

Fox and the Hound is about, who would have guessed, a fox and a hound. They are owned by neighbors who hate each other and the owners hate the others' pet. However, despite all of their obstacle they become friends, because they do not care that the other is different and not really accepted in each's society. It changes for them once they get a little older. The fox is released and the hound grows up to be a good hunter. However, at the end of the story they cross paths again and save each other's lives. They realize again that their differences aren't so great.

I think that this movie relates to our discussion on homosexuality. We should accept everyone, and even when there are societal pressures to not and even though people sometimes fall into those pressures, in the end we should realize that we are not that different and want similar things. Jesus accepted everyone, despite their differences. He did not accept sexual immorality or immorality of any other kind. However, he did see past the differences that society places on people and accepted everyone. It is about acceptance and a place for God's creations, especially when they are not doing anything against his law.
