"In 2018, I was a writer at Pixar - such a cool place, grateful to work there, learned a ton from kind and impressive creatives. 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."
"Speaking on the It's Giving podcast, the rapper said he took his grandson to the film, who asked him: "Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She's a woman." "Aw s**t, I didn't come for this s**t, I came here to watch the goddamn movie," Snoop Dogg said. "Y'all throwing me in the middle of this s**t that I don't have an answer for ... it threw me for a loop.""
Lightyear features Buzz Lightyear's best friend Alisha Hawthorne marrying a woman named Kiko, and the two women share a brief on-screen kiss. The brief kiss led to the film being banned in 14 countries. Rapper Snoop Dogg said he was unsettled after taking his grandson to the film and described being "thrown for a loop" by questions about same-sex parenting. Screenwriter Lauren Gunderson said she created the "LIGHTYEAR lesbians," explained that writing 'she' felt natural, and celebrated the representational effect of that small detail. Actor Chris Evans publicly defended the film and criticized negative reactions.
