Fox News host Jesse Watters appeared deeply troubled Tuesday that “Lightyear,” a digitally animated children’s movie from 2022, features a lesbian couple that (gasp!) kisses each other — and claimed this mundane representation of reality is “a slippery slope.”
His comments came after “I Wanna Fuck You” rapper Snoop Dogg said last month on a podcast that he “didn’t come in for this shit” when he watched the movie, and that the lesbian kiss would unfairly force him to explain the romantic act to his inquisitive grandson.
Watters empathized Tuesday on “The Five” — where the only liberal co-host pushed back while discussing research around a Cheerios ad that featured an interracial family.
“I think it is a good thing to have children who are being born today, like my kids, won’t notice there’s a Black dad and a white mom in that ad, versus when I was growing up, that I would be like, ‘Oh, that’s different than what I typically see,’” Jessica Tarlov said.
She continued, “You can be comfortable with the fact that there are two men kissing or two women kissing. I’m not saying you need to go deep into their bedroom and what’s going on there, but I don’t see what’s so offensive about that. There are gay couples all around us.”
