Ellen DeGeneres Addresses The Rumors About That Assumed Lesbian In "Finding Dory"

    UPDATE: She was just joking about the trans stingray.

    When a new Finding Dory trailer was released in May, some assumed the movie was featuring Disney's first LGBT couple, based on this quick image.

    Disney Pixar has not commented on the apparent couple but Ellen DeGeneres addressed the rumor with the Associated Press: "I don't mind the question and I don't know if it's true or not, or if she has a bad short haircut. Who knows if she is a lesbian?"

    The comedian and actress also joked that there will be a transgender character in the upcoming movie: "a stingray that's becoming sting-Rhonda."

    There is no trans character in the new Disney Pixar film, Finding Dory. This post has been corrected to reflect that DeGeneres was just joking.
