The left’s reaction to the Florida bill banning sexual identity education to children in grades three and below has been nothing short of disgusting. Not only do they feel the need to fight against a bill that stops the teaching of sexualization to children for some reason, but they also feel they need to wholly lie about it, calling it the “don’t say gay” bill when it doesn’t mention the word “gay” one time.
Democrat politicians, specifically in Florida, likely know that the bill isn’t doing what they’re claiming it does, but the narrative is too juicy to pass up and, sure enough, many are buying the lie hook, line, and sinker. These include writers, actors and producers as well as studios. Pixar has taken umbrage at the Florida bill, and as a vengeance, they claim that their next Buzz Lightyear film will feature a lesbian kiss.
According to Variety, Pixar’s LGBT employees and its allies sent a joint statement to Disney claiming that the company had censored its overt references to homosexuality in its past movies and further complained that Disney’s response to what they call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill didn’t go far enough. The studio apparently drew a line, saying that the Florida bill has moved the studio to reinstate a same-sex kiss that had been taken out of the film at Disney’s direction:
According to a source close to the production, Pixar’s next feature film, “Lightyear” — starring Chris Evans as the putative real-life inspiration for the “Toy Story” character Buzz Lightyear — does feature a significant female character, Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), who is in a meaningful relationship with another woman. Although the relationship between the two characters was not in doubt at Pixar, it had been removed from the movie. Following the uproar surrounding the Pixar employees’ statement and Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s handling of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, however, the kiss was reinstated into the movie last week.
This is a significant turning point not only for LGBTQ representation in Pixar films but also in feature animation, which have remained rigidly focused on depicting the same-sex relationship in any meaningful light.
Again, the bill doesn’t mention banning the word “gay,” just teaching very young children sexuality and gender identity. It’s curious why anyone would want to fight against that kind of bill which is effectively an attempt to stop teachers or school officials from grooming children.
It is important to teach children basic skills such as how to add and subtract, read, write, and to communicate with their society. You cannot force children to accept sexuality from a young age. It’s irresponsible and, quite frankly, sick.
But we’ll see how much they believe in what they’re doing when it comes time to the international markets. Oftentimes, the virtue-signaling many companies do in the states stops at the borders of countries that don’t go in on everything these woke companies claim to hold so dear. It’s highly unlikely that this lesbian kiss will be seen in Chinese theaters as Disney/Pixar will end up abandoning their “beliefs” for piles of yen.
So what we’ll have is a company given over to social justice politics that is angry that teachers can’t groom children, but will drop its beliefs the moment its bottom line is threatened.
