Movieguide: Hunger Games No Longer Gay Nazi Flick, OK To See

Last year, the Religious Right group Movieguide was hysterical about the supposed dangers of The Hunger Games, fearing that the book and film series promote homosexuality and glorify dictators like Adolf Hitler(link is external).

At The Awakening 2012(link is external), Movieguide head Ted Beahr repeatedly attacked(link is external) The Hunger Games, blasting parents who brought their children to see the series’ first film for “corrupting your children” with “death and humanism and evil.” Beahr also linked The Hunger Games to promiscuous sex and abortion.

But today, Movieguide announced that the second installment in the movie trilogy, Catching Fire, “has a strong moral worldview(link is external)” and even posted an interview with stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson discussing the film’s “moral lessons(link is external).”
