IS RAYA GAY? HOW RAYA & THE LAST DRAGON CONTU DISNEY'S ELSA PROBLEM

The Problem Wh Rondo’s Anti-Gay Slur Is That He's Not Alone * raja gay *

Raya, voiced by Kelly Marie Tran, serv as the primary protagonist, and a few key scen are churng up a bate whether or not the character is gay.

While speakg an terview (via Vany Fair), Kelly Marie Tran nfirmed her belief that Raya is gay, addg she voiced the character as if there were "some romantic feelgs gog on there. Frozen II brought back the bate when Disney failed to addrs if Elsa is gay spe an outcry om fans regardg clarifitn.

Asi om Elsa's ambiguo sexual orientatn, Disney recently drew cricism for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's blk-and-you'll-miss- gay kiss and playg too safe wh Valkyrie's alleged bisexualy the MCU. Kennedy has sce e out as gay, and the nature of Rondo's rogatory remark has been revealed as unambiguoly homophobic -- he reportedly lled Kennedy "a motherf**kg faggot" durg the game.

THE PROBLEM WH RAJON RONDO’S ANTI-GAY SLUR IS THAT HE'S NOT ALONE

And there is a sense that Rondo was among those the league that gused or knew that Kennedy was gay, and that his remark was purposefully hateful. The NBA, which has a reputatn as one of the most progrsive sports leagu, pecially when to gay rights, is still filled wh homophobic speech. Rondo isn't the first high-profile player to face scty for employg anti-gay rhetoric eher durg gam or at prs nferenc.

In 2011, both the LA Lakers' Kobe Bryant (directed at a referee) and Chigo Bulls' Joakim Noah (directed at a fan) ed homophobic slurs durg gam. Roy Hibbert, then Indiana Pacers center, ed the term "no homo" a postgame terview.

ASSSG ATTUS TOWARD LBIANS AND GAY MEN: THE MORN HOMOPHOBIA SLE

All three were issued has been all too easy for fenrs of the league to say the cints are isolated, that they do not reflect the overall feelg of a league that celebrated Jason Colls' cisn to bee the first openly gay athlete to pete any of the four major North Amerin sports. Look at the larger sports environment, and shouldn't e as a surprise: Amatr and profsnal sports leagu ntue to be unwelg, whether advertently or not, to gay athlet and personnel.
