"Jafar's orig story is that he's gay and pissed." * gay coded disney characters *

the amount of people who replied to this sayg that shego was the e of their gay awakeng is outstandg so here’s an appreciatn post for our queen. are we all jt gog to ignore the fact that natalie certa and cz ramirez rs 3 are gay girls bound to hook up or what. As one cric said at the time of “closeted gay fashnista” Ken: “Pairg homophobia wh misogyny, the jok about Ken suggt that the worst thgs a boy n be are eher a girl or a homosexual.

Disney faced more flak 2018 when Jack Whehall, a straight man, was revealed as playg the “hugely effete, very mp” gay man McGregor Jungle Cise. But when the gay actor playg Artie (John McCrea) took ownership of the character (tellg Attu an terview “to me ’s official: he’s queer“) the cricism didn’t really stick. There was bate around Disney+ relegatg the gay-centric TV versn of h film Love, Simon to s adult-foced ‘Star’ sectn.

It’s logil to assume the character is queer-d, for the film rri the DNA of the late lyricist Howard Ashman, who was gay, and whose magil songs, cludg A Whole New World, were creded wh reversg Disney’s wang fortun the 80s/90s.

Bety and the Beast director Bill Condon nfirmed Disney’s first “exclively gay moment” a 2017 Attu terview, generatg global headl. Still, the film brgs reprentatn other ways, om out gay actor Le Evans’ stg as Gaston to Sir Ian McKellen as a Vic-que Cogsworth.

The film’s gay subtext is siarly disguised – but Disney and Pixar arguably break through the ference lookg glass wh Lu. It don't help that the naval life is often mocked as beg herently homosexual due to the fact that only until recently, pre-domantly male naval crews didn't get to teract wh women for a long stretch of time. There are few characters que so foppish as Capta Hook, a man whose effemate wig, feather p, and sassy swayg style of body language all are rooted gay stereotyp.

He is also obssed wh pturg a young boy, Peter Pan, once more rrelatg beg gay (or at the very least beg effemate) wh perasty an sensive manner highly siar to the problem that Jafar reprents. However, the fancily drsed Facilier que lerally leans to gay stereotyp by archg his back and wearg sk-tight shirts to accentuate his physique.
