A same-sex kiss has been added back to upcoming Disney-Pixar film Lightyear after being cut, according to a report in Variety.

The animated prequel for Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear features a relationship between two female characters, one voiced by three-time Emmy winner Uzo Aduba. A kiss between the two had originally been removed but following recent uproar related to Disney’s handling of both LGBTQ characters and the recent “don’t say gay” bill, it has reportedly been restored.
