17 GAY AND LGBTQ DISNEY CHARACTERS – OM D TO NON TO TASTROPHE

As one cric said at the time of “closeted gay fashnista” Ken: “Pairg homophobia wh misogyny, the jok about Ken suggt that the worst thgs a boy n be are eher a girl or a homosexual. Disney faced more flak 2018 when Jack Whehall, a straight man, was revealed as playg the “hugely effete, very mp” gay man McGregor Jungle Cise.

But when the gay actor playg Artie (John McCrea) took ownership of the character (tellg Attu an terview “to me ’s official: he’s queer“) the cricism didn’t really stick. It’s logil to assume the character is queer-d, for the film rri the DNA of the late lyricist Howard Ashman, who was gay, and whose magil songs, cludg A Whole New World, were creded wh reversg Disney’s wang fortun the 80s/90s.

Bety and the Beast director Bill Condon nfirmed Disney’s first “exclively gay moment” a 2017 Attu terview, generatg global headl. Still, the film brgs reprentatn other ways, om out gay actor Le Evans’ stg as Gaston to Sir Ian McKellen as a Vic-que Cogsworth.

The film’s gay subtext is siarly disguised – but Disney and Pixar arguably break through the ference lookg glass wh Lu.

Updated on June 7th, 2022 by Danielle Bnti: In the wake of Florida's extremely ntroversial "Don't Say Gay" bill and the strong cricism that me om wh The Walt Disney Company for not speakg up, seems like Disney is fally unrstandg out important LGBTQ+ reprentatn is for s fans and s st members. Artie Cella is an openly gay character who teracts wh the ma character throughout the new movie that foc on Cella Vil om 101 Dalmatians. Artie is able to be his thentic self and actor John McCrea is happy wh his portrayal of Artie and believ him to be a gay character, but Disney yet aga ma the mistake of not fully lvg to Artie beg an openly gay character.

Orka and Flix Star Wars Ristance are two openly gay characters who aren't human and are actually two different speci but are openly a relatnship the seri.

DISNEY'S 8 'FIRST OPENLY GAY' CHARACTERS, RANKED (BY HOW EMBARRASSED DISNEY SHOULD FEEL)

Jungle Cise hasn't technilly been released yet, but Disney has been clear that one of the major characters the movie, McGregor Houghton, will be gay. Certa groups are upset at the ia of a children's movie reprentg the LGBTQ+ muny while progrsiv are upset at Jack Whehall's stg, believg a gay actor should be st, and the ia that might be a stereotypil, harmful reprentatn.

Viewers may not remember the gay prce om The Prcs Diari 2, and maybe that's bee the movie don't actually show him person. Before the live-actn versn of Bety and the Beast me out 2017, director Bill Condon announced an terview that one character would have a gay sp. The show's creator and executive producer Terri Msky said that Cys and his story were largely spired by Terri's dghter's iends, who knew that they were gay middle school.

Pixar jt released a new short, aptly tled Out, that foc on a young man named Greg who has a secret: he's gay, and he has a boyiend named Manuel. Lefou is a good portn of the movie, and he clearly has somethg for Gaston, but when Gaston pot blank asks Lefou why he isn’t wh any girl, Lefou don’t have a gay panic moment where he tri to hi anythg, or says he’s gay/bi.

DISNEY EXEC VOWS MORE GAY CHARACTERS AMID HUGE CLIVY PH

What I’m sayg is that Disney said how proud they were of makg Lefou gay, but had no te set up, had the character genuely says they like women, than when he has his gay moment he looks unfortable, and not a qutng-my-sexualy kd of way. They fall to the retroactively gay tegory, and In my ey the disappotg Avengers: you know how long took me to fd the name of this character.

Five mut, when all should take is typg “Gay grievg man Endgame” to Google, but he was such a small character that I had to go through 3 different MCU wikia pag to fd his name. D’Acy was a mor character who was all three sequel Star Wars movi and I hontly liked her even before I knew she was gay, but nsirg how much hype and teasg by ALL the actors that FnPoe would bee non, this felt like a punch the gut. In fact all they had to do was make the obvly gay Poe nonoticly gay but still sgle and I would have settled for that, but stead D’Acy, who was barely the films and hadn’t mentned her wife at all 3 movi or are seen together before this pot on screen, was the one to be nfirmed on screen to be gay.
