Disney RESTORES gay kiss in Pixar's new movie 'Lightyear' after staff complained
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Disney restored the gay kiss between Lightyear character Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by actress Uzo Aduba) and another female character

  • The kiss was previous removed from the film before being reinstated in March after Pixar employees work aa letter to CEO Bob Chapek

  • Pixar employees accused the company of hiding same-sex affection in their films

  • The kiss reportedly happens within the first 30 minutes of the film, which was showed at CinemaCon on Wednesday

  • The restoration of the kiss is due to Disney's ongoing response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

The kiss happens between Buzz Lightyear's friend Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) and another female character within the first 30 minutes of the film, which was shown to audiences at CinemaCon on Wednesday.

In addition, at least four recent feature films were altered to appease the views of leadership in China, Russia and the Middle East.

The company has previously kept moments of LGBT affection in its American films, but removed or changed them in its more conservative markets, including in Russia and the Middle East.

#7 Disney is burning its bridges before it comes to them. Never a good idea.

This will not end well for Disney. Good riddance.
