Ts Madison isnt letting Snoop Doggs comments on Disney and Pixars Lightyear slide. Appearing on TMZ Live on Aug. 25, the actress and advocate argued that his reaction to a same-sex kiss in the film reflects a bit of homophobia and pointed to the larger issue of how queer families are treated in mainstream culture.As a parent, you should explain to your children that other things exist in the world outside of what you deem normal in your own home, Madison said.Co-host Harvey Levin challenged her point, suggesting that parents may simply want to wait until their kids are older before discussing LGBTQ+ relationships. That doesnt make them homophobic, Levin said.Madison disagreed. Youre never afraid to talk to your kids about having a little boyfriend or girlfriend at a certain age, she countered. Weve been conditioned to understand heteronormative activity. Weve always, as queer people, been pushed to the side and swept under, so it is time for us to have these uncomfortable conversations.A Debate on VisibilityThe conversation deepened as Levin argued that todays society is more open than Madison suggested. Ive been around a long time, and for a long time I have not felt pushed to the side, Levin said. Thats not society today.Madison quickly pointed out the gap in perspective. I love you Harvey, but youre a white man, she replied.Levin, who has spoken openly about his own experience as a gay man, pushed back by citing the raids of queer bars and workplace discrimination during the AIDS epidemic. I know what discrimination is more than just about anybody, he said.But Madison emphasized that race, gender identity, and the current political climate all add layers to the conversation. It comes from a different lens, she explained. Its not your fault that youre white, but youre a white man. Especially in this time, trans people are extremely under attack, queer people are under attack. Theyve made us public enemy number one, and were just existing. Were not even a large percent of the population, and theyre making it seem like our existence is forcing everybody else out.The Bigger PictureMadisons exchange with Levin underlines why she took issue with Snoop Doggs response to Lightyear. For her, choosing silence when kids ask questions only reinforces the idea that LGBTQ+ lives are something to avoid discussing. By reframing these moments as teaching opportunities, she argues, parents can help normalize queer families and push back against the hostility facing LGBTQ+ communities today.Source
