If Lu is not or do not have any “gay overton” as Disney/Pixar keep sayg, then what the fuck is ? (@faveisgay) June 20, 2021Lu is fact one of the most betiful stori about two boys love masterfully wrought to pture adolcent non-sexual romance that I’ve ever gay people often feel very different om others before such feelgs velop, which n occur squarely the age bracket the story plac Lu and Alberto. Not to mentn Giulia’s posn as an ally and fenr of the boys at several pots the Fair: Is Lu Pixar’s First Gay Movie?

Lu and Alberto share an tense, fg, and world-crackg-open bond, but mt hi who they really are the prence of judgmental, fearful outle holds an obv potential for queer allegory, and ed many Pixar fans trackg the film’s velopment quickly labeled Lu as the stud’s “gay movie”—a g-out story to be placed on Pixar’s mantle alongsi s medatns on grief, artistic exprsn, lonels, Ayn Rand-ian objectivism, and parentg. ” That suggts a limed unrstandg of gay growg up, particularly of when our feelgs of affectn and special closens and difference n first velop. ”Back to the gay stuff:Asi om who may or may not reprent, the film is a nice troductn to summer s toxitg wash of blu and greens and orang, the way njur up the heady momentum of youth, the thrillg sh of life’s pag turng.

Lu do well that regard, though perhaps may be more memorable for what might have been than for what actually re-watchg Lu knowg all this I still feel like ’s so good and I’m like why not jt say … a month where nearly all of rporate Ameri went gay-for-pay or at the very least “wokewashg/pkwashg-whatever-the-phrase” of the moment is— this se, this is a movie that Pixar, Disney and anyone volved s creatn, n be proud why aren’t they? ” A quick anecdotal (and slightly tongue--cheek) check list of gay signal virtue-g Lu: the scene where they meet, the secret of their solidary inty, Alberto agast eatg rbs (the part where the pasta eatg part of the Vpa petn is explaed), when Alberto is outed, when Lu betrays Alberto when he’s outed… the list go on. The thg is they never say ’s not gay they jt keep sayg ‘they’re children blah blah… no sexual overton.
