What is that "exclively gay scene" you ask? Rampant plot hol, poor explanatns for characters somehow returng and most relevant to today's topic, an out-of-nowhere gay kiss scene that means absolutely nothg to the overall story. The part-prequel/part-sp-off tellg the origs of inic space ranger Buzz Lightyear (Chris Evans) started a firtorm when, around the time of Disney's Florida ntroversy, was revealed that Disney had cut a gay kiss om the then-upg Pixar film.
