WHAT SUGGTS EDMUND MIGHT BE GAY?
As someone who rather lik the totally non-nonil ia of gay Edmund, there is really no textual evince to support this ia and you are right to pot out that is extremely unlikely that Lewis tend the character to be gay.
IS PETER OM NARNIA GAY
There's not even much of what most people would nsir obv gay subtext. We don't really see other characters scribe him ways that are d gay. All that beg said, the person the lked article isn't the first to e up wh the ia of gay Edmund.
IS KG PETER OM NARNIA GAY?
So why do many fans see Edmund, particular, as gay but not, say, Peter or Lucy? A lot of LGBT people read Elsa as gay, not bee she p after women, explicly or otherwise, but bee her character arc shar much mon wh the type of stggl that LGBT people face. This parallels the issu that many young gay people face wh lack of fay acceptance, feelgs of alienatn and isolatn, feelg somehow dangero to others, supprsn of a major part of themselv, and choosg to be apart om the muny that they were born to bee they don't feel they n be themselv there.
But someone uld, of urse, rrectly pot out that there is nothg the movie self that suggts Elsa is gay and her sexualy go entirely unaddrsed the movie. I'm not sayg that all gay people intify wh the experienc or that no straight people n intify wh them, but I thk there is a certa overlap between Edmund's experienc and the experienc of many LGBT people that isn't really te of the other Pevensie siblgs.
And to answer this qutn: Conversely, is there a way to terpret the text that suggts he's not gay? This certaly don't mean that he's gay -- but is one ls obstacle to people viewg him that way.
