Snoop Dogg Speaks Out on Comments About LGBTQIA+ Characters in Kids’ Films

Snoop Dogg apologized after backlash for expressing discomfort with LGBTQ+ themes in children's film Lightyear, acknowledging he was unprepared to discuss such topics with his grandsons.

  • Snoop Dogg initially expressed discomfort with a lesbian scene in the film Lightyear involving Alisha Hawthorne and her wife, saying it made him 'scared to go to the movies' and unprepared to answer questions from his grandson.
  • The inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ character and scene caused controversy, with the scene being removed at one point before facing backlash and being reinstated by Disney.
  • Lightyear screenwriter Lauren Gunderson and actor Chris Evans defended the storyline, with Gunderson saying 'Love is love' and that she naturally wrote Alisha's partner as a woman.
