Moviegoers won’t have to look toward infinity and beyond for homophobia.
After Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait banned the release of Disney/Pixar’s “Toy Story” prequel “Lightyear” due to gay themes, a local theater in Kingfisher, Oklahoma is warning moviegoers about the film’s same-sex kiss, promising to fast-forward through the scene.
NBC News reported that the 89er Theatre, located roughly 50 miles outside of Oklahoma City, posted a warning sign on its window about the kiss between Uzo Aduba’s character Hawthorne and her scientist wife. “Attention Parents: The management of this theatre discovered after booking ‘Lightyear’ that there is a same-sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the Pixar movie,” a sign read. “We will do all we can to fast-forward through that scene, but it might not be exact.”
