We know, we know, has never been nfirmed that Jafar is gay.

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. Some fan theori suggt this is bee she's gay.

LeFou (Josh Gad) om Bety and the Beast is perhaps the strongt non LGBTQ character Disney, wh the 2017 remake clearly showg him as gay. 2012’s ParaNorman featured the first openly gay character an mastream animated film.

Fans have speculated about Elsa's sexualy sce Frozen was first released 2013, but Frozen 2 still don't addrs whether or not she's gay.

Given Disney's fear of alienatg parents (or media censors untri like Rsia) who aren't tolerant of LGBTQ+ them children's entertament, 's not surprisg that the stud didn't make Elsa gay Frozen 2. The st and creators of the Frozen movi are much more on board wh a gay Elsa than Disney seems to be.
