This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you think of the Southern Baptist Conference's decision to boycott anything sponsored by Disney because of Disney's "gay-friendly" policies?" Allen Christen, Cape Girardeau "I think it's great. I agree with them. I have no use for gay people. Morally, I think it's wrong. I guess it's both biblical and personal."...

Allen Christen, Cape Girardeau

"I think it's great. I agree with them. I have no use for gay people. Morally, I think it's wrong. I guess it's both biblical and personal."

Toni Moll, Cape Girardeau

"I wouldn't boycott. I don't think that's the way to go about it. I think they (Disney) have a lot of good things."

"I don't think it's going to do them any good because people are going to go if they want to. It doesn't matter who is out there and who are we to say that it's wrong."

Craig Petzoldt, Jackson

"I don't agree with boycotting the company for any stance that they take on a particular issue because I feel that as a Christian organization or as a Christian that they should try to reach the people instead of boycotting their issue."

Angie Kaelin, Cape Girardeau

"They're allowed to have their own opinion. There are just a lot of businesses or corporations that are doing the same thing. Is Disney designated I guess because it's like family-oriented? That's why it's such a big issue maybe. I don't really think it's right."
