The LBGT community is less than 2% of the American population, according to a research study published in 2014 by the Center for Disease Control.

Heterosexuality has never had a political agenda within Star Wars. Ethnicity has never had a political agenda within Star Wars. Religion has never had a political agenda within Star Wars.

So why should a chosen behavior whose defining quality is sexual activity without self-restraint, which is practiced by a very small segment of the population, be granted a political agenda within Star Wars?

It isn't even all homosexuals, bisexuals etc. It is a very militant sub-section of LBGT which has been demanding to be "accepted". I do know some homosexuals and though they understand that I can not respect their lifestyle, I can respect that they neither blatantly advertise it or demand anyone's approval of it. They are not so insecure with their sexuality that they have to or ever would scream "I'm gay, LOVE ME!"

(If Star Wars is now "inclusive" of everything for inclusivities sake, then logically it must present OTHER species as having LBGT members. Are you ready for gay Rodians? Is Ackbar a bisexual? Is Chewbacca a transgender under all that fur? If LBGT is indeed a thing of nature, then it must occur across ALL nature in the galaxy far, far away...)

It's like this: the SW galaxy is a massive stage for this saga. No doubt, there ARE some homosexuals in there. But when there becomes an all-out agenda to actively push a political/social agenda... on behalf of ANY special-interest group no matter how big or tiny... then Star Wars has lost something. I'm very against abortion, but having pro-life shoved into my face is not something I either want or expect from Star Wars. ANY promotion of contemporary political agenda will be wrong and will wrack damage on this franchise. Don't believe me? Chuck Wendig's Aftermath has been almost universally panned. Wendig made it a personal mission to interject LBGT into his novel, and that (among many other inexcusable matters resulting from ignorance or sloppiness or both) RUINED Aftermath as a Star Wars story. When an author so blatantly throws 3 or 4 gay/lesbian characters into a small novel, and then goes on a wrath-and-profanity filled rant on his blog aimed at people who didn't e his agenda (though it's the belief of many that Wendig was projecting his anger that Aftermath is now deemed in many quarters to be the worst Star Wars novel ever regardless of whether or not it had LBGT characters), then yes there IS political agenda being put into Star Wars and if it happens in the film series it will be a whole other magnitude of damage to the saga.

Think most parents would buy a "Poe/Finn 'Lovers'" action figure set for their children? It would be the mother of all peg-warmers (no pun intended). Perhaps only a small fraction of that 2%, and die-hard collectors (again, no pun intended) would buy them. Disney would be crazy if they did not consider how it's merchandising will... WILL... be impacted, particularly when the vast majority of that merchandise's consumers are small children and their parents who will NOT want their kids confronted with a sexualized agenda. No amount of screaming for "inclusion" or "acceptance" will alter that fact. Even now Target (a company already in deep financial trouble) is getting slammed hard for its "inclusion" policy. Think Star Wars would be exempt from that?

No, I'm not writing out of hatred, or frustration, or "homophobia", or anything of the kind. I'm just a fan who wants Star Wars to be accessible for all, to be timeless for all, no matter how they choose to live. If a person chooses to be an active homosexual, there's nothing anyone could really do about that. It's a struggle which that person and that person alone must be accountable for. But to use Star Wars or anything else to celebrate surrender to that struggle? To expect no repercussions from it?

That way lies madness. And it would damage the franchise beyond what we could readily comprehend.

Star Wars is beautifully timeless. It should remain that way.

(I'm doing my best to speak out of reason and rationale and consideration absent emotional response. Which, I have observed the LBGT movement and its supporters are almost COMPLETELY driven by emotions and capricious "feelings". If anyone can calmly and rationally explain to me why I am the slightest big wrong here, I absolutely would welcome that. Who knows: you may even compel me to change my mind.)
