ONCE UPON A TIME.. GAY CHARACTERS
There is no Disney film I thk about now, as a 37-year-old gay man, wh more affectn, gratu, and rpect than Mulan. Sunday's episo of Once Upon A Time revealed what every gay's been wag for: a queer fairytale the end of the ep, "Que a Common Fairy"—and before you blow a gasket, that's a reference to the troductn of Tkerbell—Rumpelstiltsk's son, Neal, adms that he waed too long to tell Emma he loved her. The girls hug, and Mulan walks away wh a sadned producer Edward Ksis did say there would be at least one gay character this season, and looks like Mulan's the one.
The episo was wrten by Jane Espenson, creator of the popular gay webseri Mulan will fd another love elsewhere as she jos Rob Hood—and who knows what feelgs will be revealed by Aurora now that Mulan's partg. Back October, Once Upon a Time stunned viewers when they revealed that Mulan (Jamie Chung) was gay and love wh Prcs Aurora (Sara Bolger).
It was never the tentn to imply that Mulan was gay, but the mere image of her changg to a boy was enough of a reprentatn to young boys and girls of LBGTQ. As Mg-Na Wen says, there was never any specific tentn to make Mulan a gay story, and yet, that's exactly what happened. Once Upon a Time fally ma good on s promise to clu a gay storyle season five, and was an unexpected choice.
