Snoop said his grandson had questions about the same-sex relationship in ‘Lightyear’ that “threw [him] for a loop.”
Snoop Dogg said his grandson’s questions about a lesbian relationship in the Pixar movie Lightyear “threw [him] for a loop” because he didn’t know how to explain how two women could have a child.
The Doggfather, 53, appeared on the It’s Giving podcast and spoke about his marriage, parenting, and masculinity.
Around the 31-minute mark of the video below, Snoop described watching the 2022 Pixar movie Lightyear with his grandson. The rap legend said he was thrown off when his grandson asked how the movie’s female protagonist, Alisha Hawthorne, had a child with her wife.
“Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like, ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’” Snoop said.
He’s the grandfather to seven children, including grandsons 10-year-old Zion Kalvin Broadus and 4-year-old Sky Love Broadus.
“I didn’t come here for this shit,” Snoop continued. “I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”
While the film doesn’t explicitly state how Hawthorne and her wife have a child, women in same-sex partnerships can get pregnant via artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization with the help of sperm donations.
Snoop said in the moment, he told his grandson to “shh” and eat his popcorn because he didn’t know how to explain the situation.
“So it’s like, fuck me, I’m scared to go to the movies now,” Snoop said. “Like, y’all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for.”
“It threw me for a loop,” Snoop said about his grandson’s curiosity. “We have to show that at this age? Like, they’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
The same-sex relationship representation in Lightyear became a point of controversy during the film’s development.
A brief kiss between Hawthorne (Uzo Adoba) and her wife in the film was initially cut but then reinstated after Pixar employees accused Walt Disney Company leadership of censoring “overtly gay affection” in its films, Variety reported at the time.
The Toy Story spinoff faced broader conservative backlash and was banned in the United Arab Emirates and other Muslim countries.
Chris Evans, who played the film’s title role, responded to critics of the kiss at the time, calling them “idiots.”
“Every time there’s been social advancement as we wake up, the American story, the human story is one of constant social awakening and growth and that’s what makes us good,” he told Reuters. “There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. But those people die off like dinosaurs. I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human.”
