Apparently, a rainbow sticker in the window of a shop from one of the films was taken out because it was too “distracting.” Same-sex couples were also reportedly removed from the background, but another insider stated that some do still appear in Soul. These anonymous employees said that, as an example, certain “signifiers of LGBTQ identity” were taken out of other films like Soul and Inside Out, both of which are set in more LGBTQ+ friendly areas like New York City and San Francisco, respectively. Variety’s sources indicate that this is just one scene that has been changed by Disney or prematurely changed in fear of Disney’s rules. Chapek later apologized, admitting that he let the LGBTQ+ community down and announced a pause on political donations in order to create “a new framework for political giving that will ensure advocacy better reflects values.” However, after the backlash following Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s financial support of the sponsors behind Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill and weak response to said backlash, it seems that the scene was reinstated into the film. The report notes that while the relationship was always set to be featured in the film, a kiss between the two was initially cut from the film.

We're always looking for the next great flick.Following LGBTQ+ employees and allies at Pixar Animation Studios sending out a statement claiming that Disney executives had actively censored “overtly gay affection” in its films, Lightyear‘s same-sex kiss is getting restored after being removed. If we've missed yours, let us know in the comments. Here's our favorite holiday films that do just that, with some new options and old favorites. Straight couples may not blink an eye at who's under the mistletoe, but seeing two people who look like you in the media (especially for young or still-closeted LGBTQ people) can validate those who may not have anywhere else to turn. Seeing LGBTQ characters onscreen makes members of the community feel seen.
Of an estimated 879 regular characters on broadcast scripted prime-time programming, only about 10% (or 90 characters total) are explicitly LGBTQ, GLAAD reports. But don't wave your Pride flags for the entertainment industry just yet, because we still have a long way to go (read our LGBTQ rights timeline). "Compared to previous years, and the amount of LGBTQ-inclusive films that are out, it's like night and day," GLAAD's CEO and president, Sarah Kate Ellis told CNN."We've really gone from zero to 100." It's not just Christmas movies that are seeing better representation either this year saw the highest percentage of LGBTQ characters onscreen since GLAAD first started tracking those numbers 20 years ago. Lifetime aired the first gay kiss to appear in one of the channel's holiday movies just last year. And at least seven more have come out in 2020 with some sort of queer representation.
It's a banner year for LGBTQ representation in holiday movies, with both Hulu and Hallmark releasing new flicks with LGBTQ characters in the lead.
