00:04after he questioned LGBTQ plus representation in children's films during a podcast interview.
00:13My grandson in the middle of the movie like, Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman?
00:18She a woman. Oh shit. I didn't come in for this shit. I just came and watched the goddamn movie.
00:24The film he was referring to was Lightyear.
00:26The 2022 Pixar movie centered on Buzz Lightyear that introduced Disney's first same-sex couple.
00:36Lightyear had already faced pushback before its release after Disney considered cutting a same-sex kiss scene from the film.
00:43The moment was ultimately restored following outcry from Pixar employees.
00:48I'm scared to go to the movies. Like y'all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don't have an answer for.
00:52His remarks came during a larger discussion on what the host described as a single-mother epidemic,
01:00claiming single mothers are raising more feminine traits in their sons.
01:04I feel like we're inverted, especially in our community, where women are much more masculine and men are much more feminine.
01:11Snoop pushed back on that idea, pointing to LGBTQ plus representation as a driving factor instead.
01:18These are kids that we have to show that at this age. Like, they're going to ask questions.
01:24Yeah.
01:24They are going to ask, I don't have the answer.
