A first look at Disney and Pixar's "Lightyear" on Wednesday confirmed a same-sex kiss had been restored following recent controversy. The kiss occurred in the first 30 minutes of the movie, which was shown to an audience Wednesday at CinemaCon, according to USAToday.
The kiss was reportedly removed and then reinstated after backlash over the lack of response from Disney over Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.The bill bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade. A first look at Disney Pixar's "Lightyear" confirmed that a same-sex kiss scene had been restored to the film following controversy over Disney's lack of response to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.
The moment occurs between the character Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) and her partner in the animated film. The "Lightyear" character isn't the first LGBTQ-oriented character in a Pixar film.
The most prominent character is a cyclops police officer named Specter featured in the animated film "Onward." At one point in the film the character says, "It’s not easy being a new parent – my girlfriend’s daughter got me pulling my hair out, okay?" The move comes after a letter from Pixar employees accused Disney executives of demanding cuts from "nearly every moment of overtly gay affection," according to a letter sent to the company by the employees.

Olivia Wilde was served custody papers from her ex, Jason Sudeikis, while on stage at a movie convention in Las Vegas, according to a report. Deadline reported that Olivia was in the middle of screening the trailer for her new movie, "Don't Worry Darling," when someone approached from the front rows of Caesars Palace's Colosseum theater and slid a manila envelope on the stage to her feet."This is for me?" she reportedly asked. The actress-director then picked up the envelope, which had the words "Personal and Confidential" on it, and took a quick peek inside. With 4,100 movie theater owners looking at her, Olivia handled the dramatic interruption gracefully and held the envelope on the CinemaCon stage while continuing to discuss the trailer. Initially, it was believed that the envelope contained an unsolicited movie script, but that's apparently not the case. Jason and Olivia, who split about 18 months ago, share two children.

Ron DeSantis revoking Disney’s special tax district privileges and self-governing abilities.DeSantis signed the measure into law on Friday, marking the latest move by the Governor who has repeatedly railed against “woke corporations.” It was widely viewed as retaliation to Disney over their objections to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. To kick off the discussion on Monday, “View” host Ana Navarro admitted that though she originally supported DeSantis when he became Florida’s governor, she’s lost faith in him and is “really bothered” by his actions against Disney.“I don’t understand, though, how you can call yourself a pro-business, pro-freedom of speech, small government, against canceling conservative, if you want to cancel one of the major corporations in Florida for freely speaking their mind in protection of their employees,” Navarro said.She also pointed out how the bill primarily targets Disney, which is definitely not the only company to have a special tax district in the state.“There are 1,844 special taxing districts in Florida. And so it was to penalize and take revenge against Disney for having dared cross a pet legislative cause of theirs, and that is wrong,” Navarro added.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is one-third of the way to punishing Disney for opposing his anti-LGBTQ legislation, the widely-discredited, potentially unconstitutional “Don’t Say Gay” law, but some Florida taxpayers are in for a reportedly multi-billion dollar shock if he signs on the dotted line.On Wednesday the Florida Senate, succumbing to DeSantis’ worst instincts, passed a bill that would eliminate a 1967 law that essentially created a 39-square mile area, now almost entirely occupied by Disney World, that enables it to act as its own government – including providing all the services, like power, water, sewers, police, and fire, that local governments do.Called the Reedy Creek Improvement District, DeSantis now wants to essentially void that law. The House is expected to pass that bill Thursday, putting DeSantis’ temper tantrum at his feet.But according to the Orange County Tax Collector, Orange County would be on the hook for “all debt and obligations with no extra funds,” meaning “Orange County would take on $163 million [in debt obligations] per year.”It gets worse for Florida taxpayers.“If Reedy Creek is dissolved, Orange and Osceola counties would assume responsibilities handled by the district like sewer and road maintenance, meaning taxpayers in those counties would pay, The Miami Herald reports.
