Disney+ subscribers got a pleasantly inclusive surprise this week with the release of “Out,” a Pixar short film featuring a gay protagonist. .

“I’m HERE for it and Lordy did I cry.” Added another, “I just watched a family love their gay son in a Pixar short

I just watched myself be represented in a Pixar short.” 

As of Friday evening, neither Disney nor Pixar had issued public statements about “Out.” It should be noted that the short film’s release follows varied efforts on behalf of both companies to diversify their programming.
