On the same-sex kiss in the new Buzz Lightyear movie, star Chris Evans lamented, “It makes me happy. It’s tough to not be a little frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion.”
The launch is, of course, laser-focused on the controversy, as that’s how the film is making headlines. More than that, though, it’s what wins the film and Evans brownie points in Hollywood, where the agenda, not the art, is the primary focus. It’s laughable for Evans to claim he doesn’t want to be spending his time talking about the kiss — it’s a media gift during Pride Month, especially.
