So if I can give my friend a heads up on what is going on that week, so that they can plan accordingly. I would feel horrible for those children. they would probley leave and not return even if it was the first day of their vacation. Should they go and experience something that was unpleasant that is associated with just that week. They aren't keen on taking their children to Disney World, but the the two children have been begging for 4 years now so they are considering taking them. My friends are ultra conservative in all ways of thinking. I just as a parent don't want to explain it yet. That is also something I would like to avoid at this point explaining to my children. We live in a small rural town, two people of the same sex holding hands or showing affection would be shocking to my small children. You are more than welcomed to pack your own lunch and bring your own drinks, so this is incorrect. And while that wouldn't bother me as an adult, I do not want my children, who have never seen such a thing, to exposed to that while at Disney World. I think the bag search is to keep you from bringing your own food and drink into the park. But those that are gay and visiting Disney are no different than any other Dating or married couple and will think nothing of showing public affection. You can't tell me that the 80% of the gay men who work for Disney are going to show public affection that would embarass someone while working. I above comment about some people being more rude is what I was refering to.Īlso why that particular week would concern me as far as my children go. In all our trips to Disney Everyone has always been super friendly from the staff to the other guests. We have high hopes that this will spark a trend and we'll begin to see more and more LGBTQ+ characters represented in our favorite Disney content in the years to come.Ok so maybe I worded it wrong. It took until 2017 for someone to utter those magic words, but better late than never Disney. Typically, if gay characters were represented at all, their sexual orientation was merely implied and not voiced. Bex puts a serious damper on Andi and her friends' fun which takes a toll on her first year as a teenager.Ĭyrus Goodman, one of Andi's best friends, made history as the first Disney character to ever say the words "I'm gay," out loud on television. When Bex was young, she was the poster child for rebellion, but now that she's older, she's started taking on a much more responsible outlook on life. However, Andi's big sister Bex is back in town and she's here to stay. Along with her best friends Buffy and Cyrus, this fearsome threesome is ready to terrorize their parents and their school.
High School Musical: The Musical: The SeriesĪndi Mack is just about to hit her teen years and her urge to rebel and embody the angsty teen is stronger than ever. But throwaway scenes meant a lot to young queer folk when they were all we had.
Joe's "his boyfriend thinks he's handsome also," receives a hearty "right on!" from both Mia and Lily.Ī throwaway scene? Sure. While Mia (Anne Hathaway) and her best friend Lily (Heather Matarazzo) work with the Queen (literal queen Julie Andrews) and bodyguard Joe (Hector Elizondo) to find a potential suitor, Mia notes that the harp-playing Prince Antoine is a cutie. And, finally, we do get a (slim) scene where there's at least an acknowledgement of a gay couple in the film. Gay news covering everything, including LGBT celebrity stories, trending gay voices, developments in LGBT health, and all the latest in the fight for LGBT equality. Second, it's important to represent stories from different timeframes so we can see where we've been and where we hope to go. So, why is it on this list? A couple reasons: First, not to stereotype, but this bisexual writer has a very hearty appreciation for these films.
