Some fans suggested that Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of the character Dory, was behind the possible first by Disney. The actress and comedian, who has been married to Portia de Rossi since 2008, came out in 1997.

Rumor is Pixar put lesbians in Finding Nemo sequel. If they don’t provide an LGBT bathroom, they’re gonna pee in the ocean. #FindingDory
