In February 2017, a cartoon shown on the Disney XD cable channel featured characters engaging in a same-sex kiss.
An image urging a boycott of Disney for their inclusion of a same-sex kiss features two characters unrelated to that development.

This images features a rendering of two characters from older classic Disney animated feature films — Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid (1989) and Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty (1959) — that was created by Mexican artist Rodolfo Loaiza for a series called "Disenchanted Disney."

We've reached out to Disney to confirm that this was the studio's first-ever animated same-sex kiss, but have yet to receive a response. Disney did feature a same-sex couple in a 2014 episode of the live-action television series Good Luck Charlie.
UPDATE: The original article misidentified the two Disney princes kissing in this meme as Prince Charming from Cinderella and the Prince from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
