US Theater Skips Plan to Fast Forward Through Disney Same-Sex Kiss

by VOA News

   A movie theater owner in the western U.S. state of Oklahoma said the
   theater never carried out a plan to fast forward through a same-sex
   kiss in a newly released Disney/Pixar film.

   The theater had posted a warning sign about the kiss and its intention
   to fast forward through the brief kissing scene in Lightyear, part of
   the Toy Story franchise.

   The sign said that management found out about the kiss between two
   women after booking the film, adding that, "We will do all we can to
   fast-forward through that scene, but it might not be exact."

   Instead, the owner of the theater in Kingfisher told local television
   station KOCO 5 that the plan to interrupt the film was never executed
   in any of the showings of the film.

   Some countries have banned the film because of the kiss.
