Snoop Dogg questions LGBTQ+ scene in Disney’s Lightyear

Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg has sparked debate after revealing his discomfort with LGBTQ+ representation in the new Disney movie, Lightyear.

He shared his thoughts during an episode of the It’s Giving podcast, hosted by Sarah Fontenot on Thursday.

Snoop recounted taking his grandson to see the film, only to be caught off guard when a scene depicted two women raising a child together.

“Papa Snoop, how can she have a baby with another woman?” his grandson asked. “I didn’t come here for this; I just came to watch the movie,” Snoop admitted.

He added, “I’m worried about taking kids to the movies now, because they’re putting me in situations I don’t know how to explain.”

His comments reflect the confusion he experienced in that moment and his struggle to address complex topics with children.

The rapper’s remarks have reignited conversations about LGBTQ+ themes in children’s media, with some praising Disney for inclusivity, while others, like Snoop, question whether such content is suitable for younger audiences.
