Finding Dory trailer features 'lesbian couple'?
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
The new Finding Dory trailer has sparked a huge debate over
the children's film featuring a 'lesbian couple'.
You could miss this very short moment of the trailer, until you look and listen closely. The new Finding Dory trailer has got everybody talking about what could be a first for Disney Pixar.
Let's give you a brief breakdown of the scene in case you won't catch it:
1. Toddler drops her bottle after being knocked by a stroller.
2. One of two women picks up the cup, saying: "Poor baby, let me get that for you."
That's it.
These are some of the comments about the scene:
"Pixar you've lost our family's support. We don't support the sexualization of children's movies or the sexualization of society at large, and we will not be seeing this," Krystine Kercher said on Facebook.
"It's a kids movie!! Won't be seeing this or allowing my kids to watch this bulls***. Do not give a damn what message they are preaching," another added.
While others were criticising the "alleged" lesbian couple, others welcomed the diversity:
"If this is a lesbian couple, great! Way to move forward into the 21st century," Lonnie Gleason said.
"But aside from the stereotype that two women must be lesbian when seen together, which is wrong, there's nothing here to suggest lesbianism."
"Get over it. In case you forgot, Dory is voiced by a very popular lesbian."
The movie features the voice of popular television host Ellen DeGeneres as the forgetful blue fish.
