THE LTLE MERMAID'S ORIGAL STORY IS REALLY ABOUT GAY LOVE AND REJECTN
"I have to please the gays." * little mermaid gay man *
The Ltle Mermaid's Origal Story Is Really About Gay Love and Rejectn. However, Disney's animated movie is self an adaptatn and actually has several differenc when pared to the origal story, which scholarly terpretatns have analyzed may actually be a metaphor for unrequed gay love. Let's take a look at Anrsen's fairy tale and the symbolism embedd the story, and see how uld very well reflect a gay thor feelg out of place a heterosexual world.
And to ny the prence of diverse voic and fac on-screen, ni the efforts and talents of diverse voic behd the screen, cludg que a number of LGBT artists who ntributed to Disney’s repertoire such as gay and Jewish songwrer Howard Ashman, the poser behd the animated versns of The Ltle Mermaid and Bety and the Beast, and Andreas Deja, a proment character signer.
The animated film featur a character who is gay, so potentially vlatg Florida’s ntroversial ban on teachg children about sexual orientatn or genr ’s another unexpected twist the Hoe of Moe’s chequered history wh the LGBTQ muny – and jt as the stud’s live-actn versn of The Ltle Mermaid, wh the Grown-ish star Halle Bailey as Ariel and a scene-stealg Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, the sea wch who first beiends and then hoodwks her, heads for world of Disney prcs has tradnally been one of doe-eyed, ultra-femised beti – Crella, Snow Whe, Belle and Tiana – who whistle while they do the hoework. ]It was also Ashman, a gay man who was battlg Aids throughout the film’s creatn – and was a key archect of the 1990s Disney revival – who land on the ia of a mp genie for Aladd and an even mper villa for The Ltle Mermaid. The ept origs of The Ltle Mermaid are actually gay, but that don’t mean havg a Black mermaid pursug a heterosexual relatnship is an accurate reprentatn that stroys the story any said, a movie about Anrsen’s own life wh a foc on his queer yearngs — and keepg as chaotic and msy as sounds like actually was — sounds like the next bt move for Hollywood.
