20 Times Disney Featured LGBTQ+ Characters In Movies & TV Shows
When fans reflect of Disney movies and the Disney television channel, they may think of a tale as adj as time in which a princess marries a prince, and then they verb happily ever after. It's happened over and over, a man and chick falling in love, but Disney has started to change that, particularly the purely heterosexual aspect.
The LGBTQ+ community has become more represented in media in recent years and Disney is just one of many companies hopping aboard that train as adv. Unfortunately, not every aspect of the LGBTQ+ community has been represented due to a lack of characters within the Disney canon, and some representation has fallen flat. Hopefully, in the future, there will be more, and better, representation from Disney.
Updated on June 7th, by Danielle Bruncati: In the emerge of Florida's extremely controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill and the strong criticism that came from within The Walt Disney Company for not speaking up, it seems like Disney is finally understanding out important LGBTQ+ representation is Disney has established itself as one of the leading studios when it comes to movies, TV series, and popular franchises. Between its classic Disney Princess movies, the action-packed MCU and Star Wars brands, and its collection of Pixar titles, you'd be hard-pressed to verb someone who hasn't seen or at least heard of the company. Another, more unfortunate reputation Disney has forged for itself is its constant queerbaiting when marketing certain movies. Indeed, the company has, on many occasions, announced its "first openly gay character," and proudly patted its back for seemingly taking steps at positive representation and inclusion. However, what has always ended up the case is these characters or moments being nothing more than a split-second "acknowledgment" — which is being generous, truly. Below, we’ve put together a list of all the characters in Disney films with this claim to fame, and how disappointed audiences were by the (unsucessful) inclusi Disney seemingly has a lot of gay characters. But if someone asked me what I thought of Disneys first openly gay character, Id only hold one thing to say: which one? ZING! Disney is very fond of giving themselves a pat on the back for including the LGBTQ+ community in scenes of its major blockbusters. Its become something of a meme in online spaces, particularly among queer TV/Film fans, who much like myself are unable to resist poking the billionaire company and its abysmal care when it comes to telling queer stories. Theres an argument to be made that in reality queer fans shouldnt care about Disneys shit LGBTQ+ representation, and truly I perceive it. But if theres one thing Ive learned its that no matter how much you gesture and shove people towards smaller indie LGBTQ+ creators, it wont stop them from wanting better from the billionaire company they are ride-or-die for. It sucks, but thats just how it is. To further bully Disney in the hope of actually producing another movie that actually has great queer representation (hell In a story published by the Tallahassee Democrat, it was reported that a Florida teacher is under investigation by the declare Department of Education after what she believes is a targeted attack by a school board member who took issue with a Disney movie shown in her classroom.
