IS LU A GAY METAPHOR?
Are Lu and Alberto Gay?
Therefore, even while no character the film intifi as openly gay, fans strongly relate to the story of Lu and Alberto. Jt a ltle over halfway through Pri Month, we are seeg people flock to Twter to prent their theori on why and how the lead duo Disney and Pixar’s latt g-of-age animated feature film, Lu, is, fact, gay. So do Lu have a gay character after all, or is this jt a se of fans creatg a headnon that’s gag tractn and onle clout?
DO DISNEY’S ‘LU’ HAVE A GAY CHARACTER?
Do Lu have a gay character? While Disney has not e on the rerd sayg that Lu and Alberto are gay, we (and many a Twter er!

SORRY, FOLKS, PIXAR’S LU ISN’T GAY
So while no character Lu has been intified by Disney outright as gay, we n very well read the subtext, metaphors, and straight-up visual evince (all of those nocent touch!
The film's director said 's about iendships, but many viewers observed a strong gay subtext.

"This might seem rehg to some, to see a Disney movie explore iendships as opposed to a fairy-tale love story, but s a shame that this cisn has e when a gay romance uld have so easily and naturally be Lu and Alberto explicly gay or queer wouldn't have felt ntrived.
