Wth is this🤔... the world is glorifying everything

what's up with the 'triggered' homophobes in the comments

Hard pass

It’s all about the money

The replies to this tweet. Amazing how homophobia brings people together! 🙃

Sophiethesuper

Clearly the reaction here speaks to the relevance of the subject matter.

Well that ticks the equality and diversity boxes. They missed a trick though, it should have been a disabled black, gay, Muslim wearing a sonbrerro.

This is news cnn?

This is awesome

Y’all trumpers saying “I have gay friends” or “it’s not my business what happens between to consenting adults” but then you say it’s not okay to have a movie with two gay main characters. Y’all stop lying, no gay person would be your friend or talk to you in that fact.

Don’t forget your box of tissues and rubbers.

AS. THOUGH. THE WORLD. DOESNT . HAVE. ENOUGH. ON. ITS. PLATE RIGHT NOW

This is an awesome step in the right direction! This might help a lot of struggling lgbtq+ youth!

ahh, so Disney has it very own token gays now...radical!

Sounds like Greg is a poo c.

Love this!

Can Pedowood stop pushing sex onto kids?

Why is everyone calling this a kids movie? It’s not showing during a Pixar movie. This is a stand-alone short from the part of the company that showcases Pixar animators stories. As parents if you don’t want your kids to see it, don’t show it to them. Easy.

Which means it will never be shown in the Middle east or China & many other parts of Asia.. so this film is a g*d damn joke to begin with..woke tokenism, if Disney had actual guts they would denounce China's anti gay stance..

Of course it is. Because when I took my son to see animated movies at age 5, I assumed sexuality of any kind was part of the plot for that age. 🤦‍♀️GodHelpUs

He dies of AIDS in the end. Real tear jerker that one!

I’ll pass

Love whomever you choose no one should put their approval in someone’s face. The issue here is this is directly aimed at children. Sexual orientation is defined by sexual attraction there is zero reason this should be aimed a kids, teenagers ok, kids no

It's time for charter schools or just home schooling your kids. Get them out of the public shit-show; now.

Bold choice. As if we didn’t see Frozen. The door is open for a rival. This won’t stand.

Sick

Disney aka PedoWorld

I don’t understand people upset with this, but ok when Disney marries off 16 yr old princesses.

I am good with what ever consenting adults choose to participate in but do not believe adult topics should be in cartoons necessary unless being used for educational purposes to help explain a parent's answer AFTER a child has ask a question.

Evil people everywhere....

They all have a good laugh, after the video of anal sex mistakenly gets cast to the living room TV.

I remember having crushes on boys in kindergarten...I know there are kids that young realizing they have “different” crushes than their friends. You like what you like. Can’t make someone gay or straight.

A great step. Letting kids know that they can and should live their truth

Shame

I want my child to learn about sexuality by professionals or our parenting skills. Not by a cartoon or reality tv. Carry on but no thanks!

shirhallelujah

hmmm

Ever wonder why they are targeting kids with this?

WTF?

It was beautiful. The twist ending caught me off guard though. After coming out the parents stone him to death, because it takes place in the middle east

Funny coms btw

Pixar is attempting to destroy childhood ... All those at helm need some kicks in their backside ... Disgusting 🤮🤮

Here come all the triggered homophobes.

the most trusted reality TV network in the world!

Absolutely no one cares. The left has a fetish with shoving homosexuality in people's faces

I hope all the people that are mad feel the same about heterosexual relationships in Disney movies/shows.

Disney’s first openly gay character lasted 9 minutes... not bad for the first time! 😂 DisneyPlus PixarOUT SparkShorts

Some maga people on their fourth spouse will complain about this to their mistress.

OMG

You shamelessly promote this indecency,,, And you're doing it on purpose,,,, And you're watching it with your kids,,,, May God give you trouble,,,,

Wow. This is getting an awful lot of coverage!😂

The big cheater is Donald Trump

Brainwashing

Ok, let’s do this: If you support the 1st & 2nd amend,separation of church and state and being able to live in peace. Able to live in the home you want and to love the person you want, then this should never bother you. Why? BECAUSE ITS NOT FOR YOU! Don’t like it, don’t watch it.

Next the kids will have to watch movies of how it is ok to let pedophiles do things to you because it is just how they were born. So sit back and let them touch you. It is some sick shit to make a kid watch. All so they think it is ok.

~ oh yow i’m already holding back tears just reading that… give me strength.

This is news? 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

The penis was designed for the vagina so it's actually unnatural for a Man to leave a woman for a man's anus. I mean it's disgusting and demonic, no hate

Jesus F'ing Christ 😑😑😑

It cant be that difficult to hide a single photograph if youre that worried about it dude

Straight up Pandering.

Sick

Once upon a time there was an evil company that clandestinely made content for children with the intent of specialising them and politically brainwashing them. Then one day they stopped hiding it. You finish the story.. did we let them?

To all who condemn this story, you are sinning! Only God can judge, that’s written. “God is Love”. Spreading love and kindness is spreading God msg. Don’t use the Bible to justify your hate and homophobia. Doubt God is a homophobic, he’s not afraid r hate; thats a human traits!

Mike will love it!!

Bye bye Disney plus!!

why?

vomit

Thinking, feeling people sympathize with family difficulties. We all have some. But this is a cartoon and reminds me of candy flavored vape.

Coming out as a conservative minority is more difficult these days. Can't wait for Disney to tackle that issue.

Why is it children's animation studio getting involved with adult issues

Really great short film

En Colombia podrían censurar esa película porque, según los fachos y retrógrados del país, inculca la ideología de género a nuestros niños...

I doubt the animated film will explore their sexual activities, so what's the problem? It might help young people struggling with similar issues, it might increase empathy and understanding. Of course, if Greg really doesn't want his folks to know he's gay, put away the pictures.

No thanks. Adolescents is hard enough. And I do not need Hollywood telling me how to handle the trials and tribulations of raising my children. Judging from the track record Hollywood children have ill stick to what's worked for generations

As long as they don’t force you to watch it by putting it in the beginning of the movie you’re going to see. Parents should get to choose what/when they teach their kids these things

Oh dear.

This is lovely CNN thanks for sharing about this LGBT short film.

So brave

Why don't you talk about BidenIsARacist?

I will pass on that one

Hey, maybe I'm wrong and it's a good film but... I can't see this making any money at the box office.

I'm waiting on the Pixar movie on how to get a sex change operation. I feel oppressed.

Boycott
