Pro-LGBT activists are praising Disney’s Toy Story 4 for including a “small but important moment of LGBTQ representation” with a scene of two moms dropping off a boy to school, both of them showing him affection.
“At the start of the movie, when Woody’s new owner Bonnie goes for her first day of kindergarten, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene where one child is dropped off by two moms. Later, the moms return to pick up their child and give them a hug,” states Gay Times in a June 26 article about the scene.
“It’s a small scene, sure, and it’s certainly not the major representation that queer people have 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 4 is 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 Company. The movie was produced by Pixar studios, which is wholly owned by Disney - a company that is one of the biggest media empires on the planet.
Kate Gardner at The Mary Sue agreed that the pro-LGBT moment “was not groundbreaking by any standard” but praised the scene as a “small moment of normalisation.”
“Here was a major family-friendly film, one of the biggest Disney Pixar releases, and they included a lesbian couple with their son. It’s a small moment of normalization, even if it’s minor. This isn’t a show on Netflix, or a banned episode of Arthur. It’s a Disney Pixar movie, and it showed two women caring for their child together,” she wrote.
The American Family Association (AFA) said in a report that the scene “blindsided” families.
“The scene is subtle in order to desensitize children. But it is obvious that the child has two mothers, and they are parenting together,” wrote Monica Cole, director of One Million Moms, in a piece appearing on AFA. The small scene could have only been included with the “sole purpose of attempting to normalize this lifestyle,” she added.
Cole said that Toy Story 4 is the “last place parents would expect their children to be confronted with content regarding sexual orientation. Issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon.”
“Disney has decided once again to be politically correct versus providing family-friendly entertainment. Disney should stick to entertaining instead of pushing an agenda and exposing children to controversial topics,” she added.
Focus on the Family also cautioned parents about the scene in it's "plugged in" review of the film.
"The very brief inclusion of a same-sex couple in the background of one scene, which we've noted in this updated review, is also an important issue families will want to consider with regard to this film," the review stated.
The film marks Disney’s latest effort to push the normalization of homosexuality on children. Other Disney films that push the normalization of homosexuality include:
The Disney cartoon Doc McStuffins featured a family headed by two lesbian "moms" in its 2017 show about an aspiring doctor. It's marketed to preschoolers. Disney’s 2017 remake of Beauty and the Beast featured a homosexual subplot where one of the film’s characters was refashioned to be homosexual. Disney Channel introduced in 2017 a homosexual teen character in “Andi Mack.” The show was aimed principally at a preadolescent television audience. Last year the writer and co-director of Disney’s popular “Frozen” animated film gave what the Huffington Post called a “glimmer of hope” regarding main character Elsa coming out of the closet as a lesbian. Disney’s upcoming film Jungle Cruise will feature for the first time an openly homosexual character.
The snowflake generation seems unable or unwilling to enjoy entertainment for entertainment’s sake.
Many/most of us can read Jane Austen without being or becoming English debutantes. We can read Tom Sawyer without being boys in 1840 Missouri.
The ‘see myself on the screen’ demands are as bizarre as they are silly. It’s one thing to be constantly fed propaganda - quite another to demand it.
Watch your back, Woody. Just saying.
I’m sure the perverts intend it the way the article takes it but why let them win by assuming it?
As a normal human I would assume the two were a mother and an aunt.
Has anybody stood up to these freaks and said get lost?
Why do they always prevail?
HOLLYWOOD HATES AMERICA and Everything about AMERICA, yes this means YOU TOO!!!
Well,scratch *this* from my “must see/must buy” list.
So in other words, representative of the 2% that LGBT folks make up of our population...
One of the newer Star Trek movies they made Sulu queer and showed him with his Husband and little girl.
Now George Takei is gay and was offended when they made his original character gay ( currently portrayed by straight actor John Cho)
They go out of their way to work faggotry and lesbian queerdom into everything to condition the masses into thinking it is normal.
“Now George Takei is gay and was offended when they made his original character gay”
I don’t particuraly like the guy but you know what? He will always have my respect for speaking out about that.
After I paid for groceries, the cashier asked if I wanted the free toys with every purchase.
What toys? From Toy Story 4, she said expecting me to gush favor.
No, I said.
Pitching this one a miss. Tossing TS on the same stack as STD, SW and MCU*. DCs Batman v Superman and Justice League might have been some of the worst films ever but at least they didn’t feature an SJW finger-wagging. Besides, DC gave us Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman which is reason to forgive all.
*star trek discovery, star wars and marvel comic universe.
I honestly don’t know why I’m surprised.
We MUST boycott (personcott), REFUSE to participate in ANYTHING LGBTQ (QUEER) or TRANS (perverted).
No movies, no plays, no music, no TV shows, no sports, etc. where homosexuals or other sexual deviants are glorified or equated with normalcy. Protest with your feet and your wallet.
They are NOT “normal”. Their lifestyles and politics are DESTROYING our country! They are an abomination before GOD!
Intolerant? You betcha! I’m not tolerant of the plague either.
I’m not tolerant of EVIL either.
Don’t let the snake in. You knew it was a poisonous disease ridden snake, yet you keep letting it in.
Now it is DESTROYING your values, your culture, your political system, your faith, your children’s safety.
WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING?
Those who receive a TS4 BR copy in the future, send your digital copies to me and my post production co will edit out the sick faggot crap for free..
and i and my family go out of our way to avoid any show that includes this crap- We even have the use of a remote to immediately change channels when a commercial with queers comes on-
“As a normal human I would assume the two were a mother and an aunt.”
I would have … until I read this article.
That appears to the point of the article.
But now I only go to movies like “Unplanned” and “Death of a Nation”.
From the amount of money they're raking in, it looks like they're right in spite of people bitching about what the sandwich is filled with.
Oh, well. So much for seeing THAT movie.
