"The 2024 cinematic adaptation of the famous Wizard of Oz-themed musical, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, has become a box-office behemoth after generation a whopping $586.3 million so far.

"However, despite its critical acclaim and mass-popularity, the film has been criticised by various anti-LGBTQ+ groups who claim it is attempting to spread “propaganda” that they argue pushes so-called “wokeness.”

"The US Conservative group One Million Moms wrote a petition urging families to boycott Wicked because it includes LGBTQ+ content and “witchcraft.”

"“Attention all parents! One Million Moms needs your help to make sure as many people as possible are aware of Universal Pictures pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda on families,” a statement reads.

"“The musical contains a tremendous amount of witchcraft… and that content prompts most parents to avoid taking their children to see Wicked. But the film also shows not-so-discrete crossdressing and men crushing on men, which parents may not expect.”

"The organisation, which has ties to the fundamentalist Christian American Family Association (AFA), issued a petition on its own website, which appears to have just 13,710 signatures at the time of reporting."
