A theater in a small Oklahoma town found itself in the national spotlight when it announced plans to “fast-forward” through a scene in the Walt Disney Co.’s (NYSE:DIS) new Pixar animated film “Lightyear” that involved a same-sex kiss.
What Happened: The cinema in question is the 89er Theatre in Kingfisher, located roughly 50 miles from Oklahoma City with a population town of about 5,000. According to NBC, the venue posted a sign in its window last weekend that read: “Attention Parents: The management of this theatre discovered after booking ‘Lightyear’ that there is a same-sex kissing scene within the first 30 minutes of the Pixar movie. We will do all we can to fast-forward through that scene, but it might not be exact. We apologize for any inconvenience this late discovery of this scene causes.”
