KEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN BARBIE’S GAY BT FRIEND—NOT HER BOYIEND

The film won’t say , but a post-creds punchle about Ken’s handwrg, plete wh hearts and stars surroundg his name, tells what we need to heavily implied nature of Ken’s gayns Toy Story 3 harkens back to Hollywood’s tradnal gay bt iend-type characters. In the Hays Co era, explic referenc to homosexualy weren’t allowed, so characters like Van Buren (Frankl Pangborn) 1937’s Easy Livg, Kip (David Wayne) 1949’s Adam’s Rib, or Addison (Gee Sanrs) 1950’s All About Eve stead were imbued wh effemate characteristics, offerg a glimpse outsi of heteronormativy whout explicly beg of the characters were the same—some were tty, others sweet. In movi like Mean Girls (2004), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Easy A (2010), No Strgs Attached (2011), and Isn’t It Romantic (2019), gay iends exist entirely the orb of their female iends.

As a rult, gay men bought the doll drov, and spe Mattel ultimately rellg the doll and wipg away any trace of Earrg Magic Ken, was near-impossible to see Ken as anythg but the glor homosexual he was born to be om then on. While there is no way to “drs gay, ” there are several dolls that seem to suggt otherwise, such as:Fashnista Ken #193, who looks very exced to tell you about his new obssn, Troye Sivan;Travel Ken Doll, who has a satchel perfect for bathho and a purple overnight bag that lerally proclaims he’s “extra;”Ken Looks Doll, servg “I’m gonna give you a makeover”-type realns while sportg black pleather pants;This Ken, who wears the least heterosexual double nim I have a feelg the new Barbie movie will put the work to nvce that Ken is a hetero du who lov nothg life more than Barbie herself, the wrg’s already on the wall: Ken is, and always will be, Barbie’s gay bt obssg! In other words, where Bud Light has buckled unr prsure as bigotry grows agast the LGBTQ+ muny, Gay Water’s creator Spencer Hodson wants his new boozy brand to be the anthis of that.

“The key issue that Bud Light tapped to was the fact that they didn’t unrstand their re dience and know enough about them,” Hodson, a gay man, told CNN about the ntroversy that began when the Anhser-Bch beer brand sent fluencer Dylan Mulvaney a n of beer.

Hodson built up a strong social media followg on TikTok and Instagram durg Covid-19 and is g some of the money om that (as well as om iends and fay) to help fund Gay Water.

“Gay is an umbrella term and the ia behd the brand is to be as clive as possible, which means we want alli, we want straight people to be part of this muny we’re buildg.”. Gay Water might not have the ep pockets pared to s petors, like Whe Claw, but “even at small sle, pani of many siz are havg succs makg spir-based seltzers and premixed cktails,” Bryan Roth, an analyst for Feel Goods Company and edor of the alhol beverage newsletter, Sightl+, told CNN. “There’s lots of space the spir-based seltzer tegory which Gay Water n play, pecially if the brand n offer a cultural or emotnal nnectn that will feel more excg than the prospect of another peapple-flavored vodka seltzer om natnal or ternatnal rporatns,” Roth said.

Of urse, other drks e the word “gay,” too, cludg Gay Beer and So Gay Rosé, Hodson noted, which are also tryg to reach the queer muny and offer them an alternative the straight-domated space.

Some activists and theorists the field of genr and sexualy have partly or wholly abandoned the signatn LGBT (lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr) and stead wre and anise unr the banner of “queer”. There may be rears, cludg those who have not enuntered such ias before, who are dismayed to fd the pag of a socialist publitn a word which they had prevly taken to be a gross homophobic sult.

In both Bra and Ameri gay liberatn activists qutned the divisn of humany to gay and straight people, workg for a society where everyone’s sexualy would be liberated and male and female genr rol abolished. By 1972 the largt Brish gay anisatn was the Campaign for Homosexual Equaly, which centred s efforts on law reform and velopg social facili – there were far fewer gay bars and clubs then than there are now – and which strsed s non-polil stance, explag: “We do not believe that prejudice agast homosexuals has anythg to do wh palism or the class stggle.

The Joy of Gay Sex, published 1977, explaed that while some gay men rejected marriage as an stutn, others wanted same-sex marriage legalised, and scribed a monogamo gay uple nsistg of a “35-year-old lawyer love wh a 35-year-old doctor”, who shared expens and hoehold chor. Those shared chor reflect a ccial ponent of a “rpectable” lbian or gay inty, the rejectn of mascule/feme role-playg and ed of any genr variance – gay men are this view as mascule as straight men, lbian women as feme as straight women. Partly this reflected existg divisns society; partly rulted om the bad track rerd around sexism and homophobia anisatns – particular, the left the US – which were theory mted to workg wh everybody.

Fally, tonomy reflected the suatn of those gay groups that weren’t part of the radil movement – wh support om no parliamentary polil party, no tra unn or no part of lol or natnal ernment, such groups did have to rely on their own efforts. The Tory ernment also attacked lbians and gays through Sectn 28, homophobic legislatn effective om 1988 to 2003 (2000 Stland) which banned lol uncils om “promotg” homosexualy and teachers om tellg pupils that homosexualy was acceptable “as a pretend fay relatnship”.

In the US the years saw the growth of the Christian right, who had taken part a succsful mpaign to overturn gay rights Florida, and who supported Reagan’s printial mpaign. As the epimic spread ntributed to the growth of homophobia and panic: Florida the home of a fay whose three haemophiliac children were HIV-posive was set on fire.
