"Nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney's behest, regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar," the letter reads. It all comes after Pixar's LGBTQ employees had reportedly sent a letter to Disney CEO Bob Chapek condemning his original decision to cut the scene, along with other "overtly gay" sexuality from previous Pixar films. "Look, it's an honor to be a part of something that is taking those steps," Evans gushed. "That it is this kind of 'news.' The goal is that we can get to a point where it is the norm, and that this doesn't have to be some uncharted waters, that eventually this is just the way it is." "It's tough to not be a little frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion," Evans continued. On Tuesday, June 14, Buzz Lightyear actor Chris Evans slammed concerned parents who don't want their kids to see homosexuality in Disney's animated films. "The real truth is, those people are idiots," Evans told Reuters, attacking critics of the same-sex display.Įvans went on to tell Variety he thinks the homosexual display of affection in this children's movie is "great" and "wonderful." The movie, which is scheduled to debut on June 17, will feature a lesbian moment between two female characters who are in a same-sex marriage, Variety reports. Disney's Pixar announced that it will include a same-sex kiss in the upcoming animated film Lightyear after enduring an outcry from the gay community.
