As Sean Griff’s book Tker Bells and Evil Queens not, Disney has long targeted gay dienc — and partly bee queer dienc are experts at -optg ostensibly straight narrativ for themselv.
'BETY AND THE BEAST' FEATUR DISNEY'S FIRST GAY CHARACTER
“The ia that lbians and gay men uld be watchg Disney and g the texts (films, TV shows, theme parks, rerds, etc. “Historil evince dit that lbians and gay men have read Disney artifacts om a non-heterosexual viewpot throughout the pany’s history... As long as evince showed that homosexual dienc were unrstandg Disney through a ‘gay sensibily, ’ then a relatnship existed whether Disney approved of or not.
The one notable exceptn to this le is Bety and the Beast’s Gaston, a villa tentnally signed to be so manly that he be herently homoerotic. (Observe, for example, how “the gay Gaston” is jt...

The Ln Kg’s Sr follows the shopworn trope of a gay-d villa: He preens, flips his hair, snters ways that his very stiff brother Mufasa don’t.
On the one hand, Sr and many stereotypilly portrayed characters like him feel like the byproducts of lazy and unimagative wrg (oh, wow another limp-wristed, gay-ish villa! Sce gay people haven’t ever been allowed to be the hero of Disney movi, no one n really blame for takg our cmbs and appreciatg the bombastic, opposnal, unapologetilly queer villas like Sr. The Ln Kg has a uple of ls-villao queer-d characters Pumba and Timon, Simba’s two nihilistic, adoptive gay dads.
