Malaysia recently had similar qualms over gay scenes in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore' and Elton John biopic 'Rocket Man.'ĭisney's decision to not cut any LGBT scenes from the Toy Story spinoff comes after authorities across much of the Muslim world have barred 'Lightyear' from being played at cinemas because it includes a brief kiss between a lesbian couple. The bill bans the teaching of lessons on sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten up to third grade. The note further criticized his handling of Florida’s controversial 'Don’t Say Gay' bill, which saw the company at first take a tentative stance on the bill before succumbing to public pressure and condemning it. The letter criticized the company’s CEO Bob Chapek on his handling of the issue, accusing him attempting to censor 'gay affection.' The scene had been originally cut from the film by Disney earlier this year bit it was reinstated in March after Pixar staffers complained about the censorship in an open letter obtained by Variety.
