The 2022 film Lightyear, a spinoff of the Toy Story series, featured one of Disney and Pixar’s most prominent LGBTQ+ couples. It was also their first movie to depict a same-gender kiss.
But Snoop didn’t seem to care about the milestones and wasn’t happy about his grandson’s curiosity over how two lesbians could have a child.
“How she have a baby with a woman?” Snoop recalled his grandchild asking

“Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’” he recalled
“Oh sh**, I didn’t come in for this sh**. I just came to watch the go***** movie. Hey man, watch the movie. They just said she and she had a baby. They both women. How does she have a baby?”

The Young, Wild & Free rapper claimed filmmakers are “throwing him” in difficult situations with their LGBTQ+ characters.
“I’m scared to go to the movies. Like y’all throwing me in the middle of sh** that I don’t have an answer for,” he lamented.

“It threw me for a loop,” he continued “…These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
The film Lightyear narrates the backstory of the beloved spaceman figurine from the Toy Story films.
Buzz Lightyear’s best friend in the film is Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), a lesbian character who marries and raises a child with her partner Kiko.
Alisha and Kiko share a kiss in the movie, marking the first time a same-gender smooch was shown in a Pixar animated feature film.

The kiss was initially cut from the film amid backlash, but after Disney and Pixar employees criticized the censorship of LGBTQIA+ content, the scene was restored.
Chris Evans, who voiced Buzz Lightyear’s character, said people who had an issue with the kiss were “idiots.”
“The real truth is those people are idiots,” he told Reuters Television in a June 2022 interview.
“There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before,” he continued. “But those people d** off like dinosaurs. I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward, and embrace the growth that makes us human.”
The music icon previously said he doesn’t have a problem with “gay people” but claimed they have no place in rap music
