Matt Gaetz supports choice to watch Barbie movie despite controversy over transgender actor.
Rep. Matt Gaetz Defends Attendance at Barbie Movie Launch Party
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has come under fire for his recent attendance at a launch party for the new Barbie movie. However, Gaetz is standing firm in his decision, stating that “the terrorists win” if transgender actors prevent people from seeing the film, particularly Margo Robbie’s performance.
The Florida congressman and his wife, both dressed in pink attire, were photographed at the event, which sparked criticism online. Gaetz took to social media to defend his choice, writing, ”If you let the trans stop you from seeing Margo Robbie……the terrorists win….”
Wife’s Criticisms and Film Details
Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Gaetz, also expressed her concerns about the movie. She criticized its portrayal of collaboration between men and women, as well as its depiction of big dreams causing anxiety instead of inspiration. Additionally, she mentioned her disappointment with the lack of testosterone from the character Ken.
In the upcoming Barbie film, Hari Nef, a biological male who identifies as a woman, plays the role of a doctor. The movie is set to release in theaters this Friday.
Movieguide’s Warning
Movieguide, a nonprofit Christian movie review website, has advised its readers against watching the film. They argue that it neglects its core audience of families and children while catering to nostalgic adults and featuring lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender character stories. The website provides family-friendly movie ratings based on various content concerns, such as language, violence, and sex.
According to one of Movieguide’s articles dedicated to the film, they believe that Mattel, the company behind Barbie, made a grave mistake by prioritizing a small percentage of the population over the millions of families who would have supported the movie at the box office.
