AFA views "Shark Tale" as being a gay allegory. These bigots see homosexuality in everything.

The American Family Association, a Christian conservative organization, raised concerns about Shark Tale, suggesting that it was designed to promote the acceptance of gay rights by children.[17] Primarily by having Lenny the Shark who is a vegetarian shark and his struggles as an allegory for the struggles gay men go through with their homosexuality.[17]

Wow.  So, AFA icompared Lenny's struggles at being a vegetarian shark to the suggestion that "Shark Tale" was designed to promote the acceptance of
gay rights to children?  Fundamentalist Christians see LGBT allegories in everything.  What's wrong with promoting the idea to children that LGBT are just
as deserving of the same rights as their heterosexual peers and should be treated like human beings who are worthy of respect? The struggles that gay. I don't see anything wrong with that.  The struggles that gay men go through with their homosexuality is largely due to bigots who cannot let people who aren't hurting anyone else live their own lives.
