Delegates to the Southern Baptist Convention voted yesterday to ask its 15.5 million members to boycott Walt Disney Company’s products and theme parks for allegedly disparaging Christian values. The nonbinding resolution approved by the 19,000-plus delegates sharply criticized the company for extending health benefits to same-sex partners of gay employees and for distributing what it called “objectionable materials” that it said undermined Christian values.
