Buzz lightyear gay kiss
Disney-Pixar’s latest animated escapade is about to hit our cinema screens. It’s the origin story of one of their most beloved characters – Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear. In the lead-up to its release, online speculation soared after it was confirmed that Lightyear would include the company’s first same-sex kiss. The film’s producer, Galyn Susman, stated that the female nature Hawthorne, voiced by Uzo Aduba, is in a “meaningful” association with another gal and a peck occurs between them.
In response, several countries – including the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Egypt and Indonesia – recently announced they would be banning Lightyear from cinemas due to its “violation of their country’s media content standard” (in limited, the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themes).
Susman responded by saying that no scenes would be cut, adding: “It’s great we are a part of something that’s making steps forward in the social inclusion capacity, but it’s frustrating there are still places that aren’t where they should be.”
Disney’s complicated LGBTQ+ history
While this may sound particularly progressive in a Disney-Pixar animation, it isn’t the first time online speculation has c
Fuel bills are through the roof and times are unyielding. Are you going to spend roughly £30 taking your kids to see Lightyear at the cinema, or delay until it lands on Disney+ sometime in August? Of course, you may have already cancelled your Disney+ subscription after recent controversies surrounding their linear agenda. If that’s you, Lightyear is not going to change your mind.
This is the film that famously contains Disney’s first lgbtq+ kiss. But homosexual relationships is not what the show is really about. Lightyear is not about how our masculine, muscle-bound hero Buzz Lightyear needs to be more liberal and grasp to accept people as they are. When his finest friend, Alisha Hawthorne, kisses her wife, it is short and Buzz doesn’t bat an eyelid. The story posthaste moves on.
Imitating culture
Yet conservative Christian commentators have been very angry about the inclusion of any same-sex attraction in a children’s movie, no matter how short or incidental to the storyline. In response, liberal commentators have made fun of their consternation, unable or unwilling to notice what the fuss is about.

Disney-Pixar's Lightyear, with same-sex brush , will not play in 14 countries
SINGAPORE - At a recent press conference, actors Chris Evans and Taika Waititi held their ground over the inclusion of a same-sex peck in their animated motion picture Lightyear.
That scene has caused the film to not play in 14 Asian and Middle Eastern countries, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Together Arab Emirates.
And in Singapore, it received an NC16 rating from the Infocomm Media Development Authority – the highest for a film from the Pixar animation studio. This would restrict entry to those aged 16 and up. It opens here on June 16.
American actor Evans, 41, responding to a question about the demonstrate of affection between the same-sex couple, says that films should “absorb the times and reflect it outward”.
In Lightyear, Evans plays the title character of the space explorer Buzz Lightyear. In the Toy Story universe, this feature inspires the creation of the toy of the same name found in the Toy Story movie franchise (1995 to 2019).
In the film, Buzz's shut friend is a female space ranger (voiced by American actress Uzo Aduba) who marries another girl. A scene showing m
Countries are censoring the new Buzz Lightyear movie over a lgbtq+ kissing scene. It’s not the first time that Disney has faced LGBTQ backlash
Lightyear, which opens in the U.S. and global markets on Friday, stars Chris Evans and tells the tale of the astronaut behind Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear. It features a character named Alisha Hawthorne, voiced by Uzo Aduba, who is in a connection with another woman.
As a result of its LGBTQ+ content, the movie has been banned or censored in several countries across the globe.
On Monday, the agency in control of media censorship in the Merged Arab Emirates (UAE) announced on Twitter that Lightyear violated the country’s media content standards, and as a result is not licensed for public screening.
Film censorship agencies in Malaysia and Indonesia have also flagged the movie for review, the Brand-new York Times reported.
In Singapore, the film has been approved only for audiences over 16 years of age, according to the agency in charge of media regulation in the country. “While it is an excellent animated film set in the U.S. context, Singapore is a diverse society where we have multiple sensibilities and viewp
