REALLY happy feet

This one was too much for me. I haven't seen the movie, but apparently Jimmy Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, and a buddy of his named Michael Medved, a conservative columnist, have been telling everyone they can that the animated Penguin movie "Happy Feet" is pro-gay and contains all sorts of commentary on the homosexual political situation in America.
From Media Matters:
DOBSON: There is a movie that's out now, called Happy Feet. It's about penguins. It's obviously designed to pull children in and yet, you don't like it. I've read some of the things you've said about it. I haven't seen it and don't plan to see it but from what I've heard, I don't like it either. Explain why.
MEDVED: Because it's depressing and it's dark.
[...]
MEDVED: And then there's this whole subtext, as there so often is, about homosexuality. Not that the penguins are gay -- they're not gay -- but the one penguin hero doesn't fit in and the religious authorities -- the so-called religious right in the penguin world -- are very judgmental. They say, "You are not a penguin. You're not a real penguin." And then he makes this heartfelt plea, he says, "Dad, you have to accept me as I am. I can't change." And --
DOBSON: Are they getting at the idea that homosexuality is genetic? Is that what the subtle implication is?
MEDVED: Well, how many times do we hear that in the media? That it's not a matter of choice, it's not a matter of change, and my problem with that -- as I understand, that there are some people, who -- for whom that may be true, but they're other people -- and you and I know them -- who have changed their lives and have turned around their lives.
This reminds me of the Southern preacher who kept telling everyone to boycott the "Lion King" because it was Satanic.
Stupid bastards.
Anyway, I leave it to you, dear readers: is "Happy Feet" really just homo-leftist propaganda? Should all the copies be burned as heretical material? Or is it just another stupid Disney movie about penguins trying to capitalize on the success of a documentary called "March of the Penguins"?
