Disney LGBT and ally employees at Pixar had sent a letter to Disney voicing their outrage that the company had seemingly censored ‘overtly gay affection’ in its film.
Lightyear had ‘always had the lesbian couple,’ she said.‘They’ve always been a part of the film, being able to put back the kiss was important to us.’
She explained that the ‘touching moment’ is vital to the plot as it ‘helps Buzz to see the life that’s being lived in front of him… that he’s not having.’ ‘He doesn’t have those kinds of relationships. He doesn’t have a child, he doesn’t have what she has,’ Galyn said.Disney has featured extremely mild LGBT+ representation in their films in the past, usually in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it background scenes: The Frozen shopkeeper refers to his ‘family’ and the camera pans for a millisecond to another man and four children.
