7 percent of Americans self-identify as LGBTQ. That's not an extreme minority. It is nearly one in ten people. So, no, having the first gay couple in a Disney film in 2022 is not "over representation."
No one is forcing you to watch anything. Once again, it's a bad movie on its own. But your inability to grasp the humanity of homosexual relationships is something you might want to consider.
I never watch straight kiss scenes and think they're hot. This is a disney movie. Nothing is sexual.
You're bringing up the last of us, but I'm not sure why. Thats a show for adults. If gay characters had sex on it, that makes sense. Gay adults do have sex. You can watch a short gay sex scene, as an adult. It has nothing to do with being republican. Its an issue of emotional maturity. You're really just making excuses.

People who don't live in cities have more kids and liberals tend to live in cities. It is absurd that accepting gay people as legitimate human beings is a left/right divide, but America is broken
And here, no one is asking you to jerk off to gay porn. There's nothing sexual about it. And, in any case, it is odd that you see "relating to gay romance" as an issue because it is the exact same as our romance... and the movie isn't Broke Back Mountain to begin with. It has very fleeting reference to a lesbian relationship.
You managed to relate to 4 films about talking to toys when you yourself are not a talking toy. What is so challenging about seeing two women hold hands and relating that to your own feelings and concepts of love?

He is afraid that if he watches a movie with gay people in it that he will have to confront the thing he's clearly repressing.

Most straight people are more than comfortable with gay people. It's a very vocal minority that isn't. And you have to wonder what they're struggling with internally.
Source: I'm straight. Have lots of gay friends. Those gay friends have lots of straight friends. Me and my kid didn't like lightyear because it was a bad movie.

See, there it is again. You're unable to imagine having empathy with gay people. For a normal person. It is a non issue.
And off the top of my head Turning Red and Shang Chi came out last year. Are Asians over represented? Two movies were Asian led last year. Buzz Lightyear wasnt even led by a gay couple. It just had one in it. Holding hands. If we go through the movies with asian characters your argument will look even dumber. Your argument doesn't hold water. Non-hispanic whites only make up 60 percent of America. 95 percent of movies have white leads. If anyone is over represented it is the straight white guy.
I would be open about being bisexual if I were. Literally no one I know cares in Canada and I obviously am pretty comfortable with my sexuality in comparison to the guy who refuses to even watch gay people kiss. So that gotcha is somewhat ineffective.
And, for the last time, NO ONE IS ASKING YOU TO THINK IT IS HOT. This isn't pornography we are talking about here. Your obsession with this tidbit js glaring. Why are you so worried about thinking jts hot? There's all sorts of amazing stories you are going to miss out on if the only people you're capable of empathising with are people like you.
But your issues are obviously deeper seeded than something that can be undone with a mere reddit argument. So I'm going to call it a day and get on with my life. Good luck with your internalized homophobia and repressed urges
