CHRISTIANNEWS.COM.- Lightyear will be the first Disney/Pixar film to include a romantic scene between two people of the same sex, including a lesbian kiss.
The film, whose debut is scheduled for June 17, will present the lesbian moment between two characters who are in a same-sex marriage, reports Hipertextual.
It is also the studio’s first feature film to include a lead character who is openly gay. In this regard, Chris Evans, who plays the main character, has given his opinion.
The actor criticized concerned parents who don’t want their children to see homosexuality in Disney animated movies. “The truth is that those people are idiotsEvans said, attacking critics of the lesbian kiss.
Evans went on to say who thinks the display of homosexual affection in this children’s film is ‘great and wonderful’.
“It’s hard not to get a little frustrated because it even has to be a topic of discussion,” Evans commented. «What is this type of ‘news’. The goal is that we can get to a point where it’s the norm, and that this doesn’t have to be uncharted territory, that eventually this will be the case.”
He also added: “Look, it’s an honor to be part of something that is taking those steps.”
In the midst of all the debate over the scene, it has emerged that the kiss scene between two female characters had already been removed from the final cut of ‘Lightyear’.
However, after a massive protest, internal conflicts at Disney and an apology from Bob Chapek, CEO from the company, to the LGBTQ+ community, the scene was restored.
