Snoop Dogg said he is "scared" to take his grandchildren to the movies after watching Pixar's "Lightyear," a 2022 animated film with two openly gay characters.
The "Toy Story" spinoff features the return of space ranger Buzz Lightyear, joined by a host of new faces, including Alisha Hawthorne, Buzz's friend and commanding officer. During a montage early in the film, Alisha raises a child with her wife, with whom she shares a brief kiss.
"We're not going to cut out anything, especially something as important as the loving and inspirational relationship that shows Buzz what he's missing by the choices that he's making, so that's not getting cut," producer Galyn Susman told Reuters at the movie's premiere in London.
In a 2022 interview with Variety, Chris Evans, who voices Buzz, said he was frustrated that a kiss between two characters of the same gender "even has to be a topic of discussion."

Dear Snoop,
QUIT SMOKING POT. If you can't answer simple questions about relationships, maybe put down the joint and pick up a book. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."
