Controversial Comments About a Lesbian Couple in Animated Film

Former gangster rap icon Snoop Dogg is facing backlash on social media after voicing discomfort with an LGBTQ+ scene in Disney’s Lightyear. The animated film, a spin-off from the beloved Toy Story franchise, includes a brief but notable moment featuring a same-sex female couple showing affection and later becoming parents. While the inclusion was praised by some for its representation, Snoop Dogg’s comments suggested a lack of support for LGBTQ+ visibility in children’s media.

Children’s Questions Spark Discomfort

Speaking on the podcast It’s Giving, Snoop shared his experience watching the film with his grandchildren. After the scene showing the queer couple, one of the kids asked, “How can two women have a baby together?” Snoop admitted he didn’t know how to respond, revealing his unease with the subject matter in a family-oriented movie. He expressed frustration over what he perceived as overexposure of LGBTQ+ themes:

“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” he remarked. “I didn’t come here for this stuff. I just wanted to watch the damn movie.”

Online Reactions and Backlash

His response ignited strong criticism across social platforms, with many accusing the artist of being closed-minded and out of touch. One user stated:

“Seeing Snoop Dogg join the ‘should this be shown to children?’ debate is deeply disappointing. If you can’t simply say ‘some people are gay’ as an adult, that’s on you.”

Another pointed out an apparent contradiction in his stance, referencing his well-documented legal troubles:

“Snoop Dogg was once charged with murder and served time in prison, but he’s concerned about explaining lesbians to a child?”

Another Controversy in a Growing List

This episode adds to a string of recent controversies surrounding the rapper. Earlier this year, he sparked further criticism after hosting a cryptocurrency-themed party during Donald Trump’s inauguration—an event viewed by many as politically charged and tone-deaf.

Disney’s Ongoing Push for Inclusivity

The Lightyear discussion fits within Disney’s broader efforts to embrace diversity and inclusion. Through the introduction of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines, the company aims to reflect the variety of families and identities that exist in today’s society. This shift marks a significant move toward more inclusive representation in mainstream entertainment, especially in content for younger audiences.
