Disney’s Toy Story spin-off, Lightyear, has been bringing the homophobes out in force due to a brief moment of LGBTQ+ inclusion.
Lightyear really got banned in 14 countries over this 1-second gay kiss. Homophobes are so pathetic it's kinda funny pic.twitter.com/ahs1KQyzm0

Countries boycotting the animated adventure include UAE, Indonesia, Oman and China. Disney initially cut the kiss after complaints and requests, but its own employees rebelled and demanded its reinstatement.
Even where the film isn’t banned, it has still been causing some controversy, as this poster from the US shows.

The outrage is clearly bigotry, or the same people would have called out Disney many times over.

I'm sure Republicans that are upset a lesbian couple kiss in "Lightyear" are equally as concerned that in "The Great Mouse Detective" a mouse performs a strip show and sings a song called "Let Me Be Good to You" while a bunch of mice get drunk on beer. pic.twitter.com/lYKXf5vg4e

And let’s not dwell on the princes going around kissing sleeping women – or those they believe to be dead.
In fact, the American Christian Right have been very vocal about its displeasure at the lesbian couple’s presence in a children’s film, like this mini rant from right-wing commentator, author and favourite of Donald Trump, Nick Adams.
Mr. Adams must have read Marx’ Das Kapital follow-up, ‘Gay Tips to Destroy Capitalism’.
Needless to say, Twitter owned him – to infinity and beyond.

Is this just about the almost entirely off screen gay relationship that has a single blink and you'll miss it kiss? What an extraordinarily fragile snowflake this guy is. Also, why does his Buzz Lightyear toy have genitals? https://t.co/zZ6IMb3vJw

The Right: Why are the Left so hysterical? Facts don't care about your feelings!!!!
Also The Right: They castrated Buzz Lightyear in the name of Marxism. https://t.co/3SQjnoTjwk

I've been on the internet since the late 90s. I'm a veteran of the SA forums. No joke, I genuinely think that "They castrated Buzz Lightyear in the name of Marxism" is the stupidest fucking sentence I've ever read. https://t.co/UX7YokI921
