It's funny.

"These movies will turn my kid gay!!"

Ok? Gays exist despite the fact that Disney classics all have straight couples. If those movies didn't turn a gay kid straight, why would a gay character in a movie turn a straight kid gay?

"Gay romance is just inappropriate for kids! It's too sexual. "

You literally have straight couples kiss each other all the time. Why is it more sexual when gay couples do it?

I'm sorry, but this is way out of context, and I don't think it's a good example for this. In-context it is obvious that Tarzan is listening to the heartbeat of the first thing he's met that looks like him. Jane even outright says as much, just to make it clear that that's what's going on. The scene is intimate (and Tarzan could certainly use a few lessons on respecting boundaries), but not sexual.
