It was actually illegal to engage anythg emed "homosexual activy" until 1969. Once ed as a tool to enurage children around the world to overe challeng the face of adversy, Anne of Green Gabl has clearly been hijacked for the purpose of normalizg homosexualy. The twisted rewrg of the spirg book seri Anne of Green Gabl portrays Great Aunt Josephe Barry, who Anne greatly admir for her strength and pennce, as a life-long lbian who throws parti for homosexuals and cross-drsers – sensive, artistic dividuals who are mistreated by society.

And a dramatic scene, a young boy is forted by Anne as he shar his stggle as someone who is “different, ” and after observg the liftyle of Aunt Josephe, acknowledgg that he is “gay. The new Netflix adaptatn of the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gabl has been revised to clu multiple homosexual characters, acrdg to the seri creator, Moira Walley-Beckett.
