June is observed as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, which encourages meaningful conversations and activities to raise awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. Apart from attending events and raising awareness on social media, it is also important to have these informative conversations at home. One such way is to watch movies and shows that sensitively and intelligently represent the community.
It has recently been announced that Pixar’s “Toy Story” spinoff “Lightear”, scheduled for release in US theaters on June 17, is due to include same-sex relationships in fourteen markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I will not run. One such scene in the film involves a new gay Space Ranger character named Alisha and her partner greeting each other with kisses on the lips.
There are many movies available on multiple streaming platforms that you can watch with your family and develop a better understanding and acceptance of LGBTQ+ characters and the community.
