Lu is marketed as a "metaphor for anythg" but the sea monster setup is a perfect allegory for a gay story, and LGBTQ viewers n read that way.

Lu is a gay movie. This movie is 1, 000% a metaphor for the growg up gay experience.
IS LU PIXAR’S FIRST GAY MOVIE? MAYBE
I'm jt stg here after watchg #Lu unable to stop thkg about how was a metaphor for beg gay.
Jt saw Lu, & I don’t re what anyone else says, ’s the first gay animated film by Disney/Pixar.
Watchg lu and giulia sayg all three of them "drs weird" when they llectively look like a gay iend group 2021................
LU FANS ARE NVCED 'S A GAY LOVE STORY AND THE MEM ARE INIC
Also me, watchg Lu: gay?
Cryg joyful gay tears for all the nfed LGBTQ+ kids who will watch Pixar's LUCA and have their ner world validated. I feel like Lu will make a lastg imprsn on the LGBTQ muny bee even though the characters weren’t stated gay clearly draws on many experienc that gays face adolcence and even after speakg as a 19-year-old out guy I uld relate to #Lu #PixarLu.

Alberto and lu not beg able to let go of each others hands is the most heart breakg thg omfg i love gays.
They're gay. The film's director said 's about iendships, but many viewers observed a strong gay subtext. Alberto and Lu's relatnship is laced wh gay subtextLu is immediately taken by the ee-spired Alberto when he meets a fellow sea monster off the ast of 're sually physil wh each other, sleepg si by si unr a star-filled sky, wrappg their arms around each other's waists, and watchg the sunset together.
DO DISNEY’S ‘LU’ HAVE A GAY CHARACTER?
"This might seem rehg to some, to see a Disney movie explore iendships as opposed to a fairy-tale love story, but s a shame that this cisn has e when a gay romance uld have so easily and naturally be Lu and Alberto explicly gay or queer wouldn't have felt ntrived. It would have been a meangful nfirmatn of what is already a story rich gay subtext. "Bety and the Beast" and "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" both featured blk-and-you'll-miss- "gay moments:" a dance between two men and a kiss between two women.
Queer kids will still feel forted by this story bee the scene plays out like an allegory for g out and beg gay, even if Casarosa said isn't.
