ONE MILLION MOMS PROTESTS 'TOY STORY 4' OVER 'DANGEROUS' LESBIAN SCENE

BY DANIEL AVERY ON 7/10/19 AT 10:57 AM EDT

One Million Moms is calling for a boycott of Pixar's Toy Story 4 over what the conservative culture group admits is a "subtle" nod to the LGBTQ community.

In one scene Bonnie, Woody's new owner, is dropped off at school for her first day of kindergarten. In the background, two women are shown dropping off another girl—and then later picking her up and giving her a hug.

No other clues are given about the women's relationship.

"The scene is subtle in order ... to desensitize children," One Million Moms wrote in a statement on its website. "But it is obvious that the child has two mothers, and they are parenting together."

The group called the scene "dangerous" and warns that parents may be "blindsided" by the "subtle but obvious promotion of the LGBTQ lifestyle."

If one were a cynical paranoid one might opine that finding and publicizing them is stunt by Pixar.

Movie 'boycotts' tend to increase the box office take of movies. Bad reviews can hurt, but not boycotts. Bad reviews tell viewers not to bother. Boycotts pique their interest.

Her reaction: I saw it with my kids and didn't notice any lesbian scene.

God, us gays are an insidious lot.
