Toy story 4 homosexual character
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 launch , online speculation soared after it was confirmed that Lightyear would include the company’s first same-sex peck. The film’s producer, Galyn Susman, stated that the female character Hawthorne, voiced by Uzo Aduba, is in a “meaningful” affair with another woman and a kiss occurs between them.
In response, several countries – including the Joined 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 concise, the inclusion of Diverse 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.”

“It’s a small scene, sure, and it’s certainly not the major voice that queer people contain been waiting for, but it’s still important. This is one of the biggest movies of the year, after all, and will be seen by millions of all ages around the world,” it added.
Toy Story 4is now in cinemas and features the continuing saga of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and other beloved characters in yet another iteration of a series that has delighted audiences and filled the coffers at the Walt Disney Firm. The movie was produced by Pixar studios, which is wholly owned by Disney – a c
One Million Moms is calling for a boycott of Pixar's Toy Story 4 over what the conservative culture group admits is a "subtle" nod to the LGBTQ community.
In one scene Bonnie, Woody's fresh owner, is dropped off at school for her first day of kindergarten. In the background, two women are shown dropping off another girl—and then later picking her up and giving her a hug.
No other clues are given about the women's relationship.
"The scene is subtle in order to desensitize children," One Million Moms wrote in a expression on its website. "But it is obvious that the child has two mothers, and they are parenting together."
The group called the scene "dangerous" and warns that parents may be "blindsided" by the "subtle but obvious promotion of the LGBTQ lifestyle."
"It has not been mentioned much in mainstream media, which could appear as acceptance when really it was because it happened so fast," the petition adds. "But the scene was included and intentionally not announced prior to the movie release in hopes it would be kept quiet to uncover as many children as possible."
It also balked at a line in the film about not hiding in a closet. "Some children may not hold thi
All 10 Times Disney Introduced Its First Openly Same-sex attracted Character (and Gave Us Nothing)
Disney has established itself as one of the leading studios when it comes to movies, TV series, and popular franchises. Between its classic Disney Princess movies, the action-packed MCU and Star Wars brands, and its collection of Pixar titles, you'd be hard-pressed to identify someone who hasn't seen or at least heard of the company.
Another, more unfortunate reputation Disney has forged for itself is its constant queerbaiting when marketing certain movies. Indeed, the company has, on many occasions, announced its "first openly gay character," and proudly patted its back for seemingly taking steps at positive advocacy and inclusion. However, what has always ended up the case is these characters or moments existence nothing more than a split-second "acknowledgment" — which is being generous, truly. Below, we’ve put together a list of all the characters in Disney films with this claim to fame, and how disappointed audiences were by the (unsucessful) inclusion.
