Disney Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ writer defends the films Lesbian couple scene after Snoop Dogg criticized it for pushing LGBTQI+ ideology on children.
Screenwriter Lauren Gunderson has defiantly said “I’m proud of it” in reference to the film including a lesbian couple who have a child together.
“As we wrote early versions of what became LIGHTYEAR, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write ‘she’ instead of ‘he.’
As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have. Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it.
“I’m proud of it. To infinity. Love is love.”
