First a lesbian couple, now a transgender stingray? Ellen DeGeneres, the star of the new Disney-Pixar animated film “Finding Dory,” teased a possible transgender story line in the movie in a video for the Associated Press.
When asked about the buzz about a possible lesbian couple featured in the trailer, Ellen said, “I don’t mind the question and I don’t know if it’s true or not. I don’t know that it is or if she just has a bad short haircut, you know? Who knows if she’s a lesbian? But actually I’ll tell you a little secret. There’s a stingray that’s becoming sting-Rhonda, so there’s a trans-sting in the movie.”
I’m pretty sure if there was a real lesbian couple in her movie Ellen would know about it and would share, so I don’t think that story is real. I’m hoping this is just another case of the LGBT-obsessed media blowing things out of proportion and that Ellen was making a joke. I REALLY hope Disney has not brought transgender issues into their kids’ movies.
People are already calling for boycotts on the film, but I think this is all just a publicity stunt and it will probably be a heartwarming, non-controversial family film.
“Finding Dory” will be officially released on Friday, with some theaters having late night showings tonight, so we will all find out soon!
