Chris Evans openly reacts to the censorship of the movie Lightyear for the lesbian kiss

Chris Evans, who gives voice to Buzz in ‘Lightyear’, has been most outspoken regarding the banning of the film in some regions of Asia due to the lesbian kiss between two characters.

This Friday, June 17, ‘Lightyear’, the original Disney and Pixar feature film, arrived in theaters. The film of the ‘Toy Story’ franchise reveals the definitive story about the origins of Buzz Lightyear, but not the one we met in the famous saga, but the hero who inspired the toy, and introduces the legendary Space Ranger who marked the entire a generation

However, the film has not only been in the news for its arrival on the screen but also for its ban in several Asian regions for a kiss between two women that allegedly “offends Islamic beliefs.”

The screening has been censored in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Malaysia, Jordan, and Lebanon, among others, for allegedly violating content standards by showing a lesbian couple.

A decision that has unleashed numerous criticisms from both anonymous users and familiar faces that have a lot to do with the film. And it is Chris Evans himself, who lends his voice to the famous astronaut, and has spoken about the fact that the new premiere is restricted in certain areas of the world.

” The truth is that these people are idiots. Every time there has been a social advance as we wake up, American history, human history is one of constant awakening and social growth and that is what makes us good,” he denounced. openly the actor in an interview recently granted to ‘The Guardian’.

“There will always be people who are afraid and don’t realize it and try to hold on to what was before. But those people will die like the dinosaurs. I think the point is to not pay attention to them, to move forward and embrace the growth that makes us human.” added the interpreter of ‘Captain America’ in an exhibition against homophobia.

This has not been the only film that has featured an LGTBIQ+ character, as we must remember that a similar case recently occurred with ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ by América Chávez, which, like on this occasion, unleashed a wave of messages negative for the decision in question.
