The piece noted that the post didn\u2019t specify exactly which standard had been violated, but industry insiders speculate it\u2019s because of the kiss between two female characters.<\/p>\n<p>The scene was reportedly initially cut from the movie, but was reinstated after the Disney controversy over Florida\u2019s Parental Rights in Education bill, which some critics dubbed the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/pixar-lightyear-same-sex-kiss-1235209179\/\">Variety<\/a> reported at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Variety further notes that one of the characters is reportedly a significant female role by the name of Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba). The romantic relationship between the two female animated characters was never hidden, but a kiss between them had reportedly been cut from the movie.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of the sources Variety spoke to about the alleged cutting of these kinds of scenes in Pixar films could provide \u201cfirst-hand knowledge of Disney executives directly\u201d eliminating the LGBTQ scenes.
