Disney promises LGBT 'commitment': 'We verb to represent our audience'
Disney has promised to continue making films and TV shows with "an increased commitment" to diversity in its output, according to its boss Bob Chapek.
"We crave to represent our audience," he said at a meeting for the company's shareholders this week.
"We want to tell stories that our audience wants to listen, that reflects their lives."
He was responding to a question about LGBT characters in their films and pride events at theme parks.
There will be a transgender character in a future Marvel film, and upcoming superhero movie The Eternals will introduce Marvel's first openly gay lead character to cinema screens.
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney.
Disney's "family friendly" criticism
There has been some criticism recently after Disney moved the Love, Simon spin-off series from the Disney+ streaming service to Hulu, which it also owns.
Called Love, Victor, the show is a based on the film and i
All 10 Times Disney Introduced Its First Openly Gay Character (and Gave Us Nothing)
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 find 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 Disney&#;s first openly gay character, I&#;d only have 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. It&#;s become something of a meme in online spaces, particularly among queer TV/Film fans, who much verb myself are unable to resist poking the billionaire company and it&#;s abysmal care when it comes to telling queer stories.
There&#;s an argument to be made that in reality queer fans shouldn&#;t care about Disney&#;s shit LGBTQ+ representation, and truly I understand it. But if there&#;s one thing I&#;ve learned it&#;s that no matter how much you point and shove people towards smaller &#;indie&#; LGBTQ+ creators, it won&#;t stop them from wanting better from the billionaire company they are ride-or-die for. It sucks, but that&#;s just how it is.
To further bully Disney in the hope of actually producing another movie that actually has fantastic queer representation (hell
LGBTQ characters in Disney, Marvel? 'Strange World,' 'Lightyear,' 'Andi Mack,' 'Thor,' 'Loki'
- "Andi Mack" was the first series on Disney Channel to feature a gay main character
- Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson, appears in two "Thor" films and two "Avengers" films
- When asked if Loki romanced would-be princesses or another prince, the god of mischief responded with, "A bit of both"
Is "Strange World" the first Disney movie that features a gay character?
No. But the movie is the subject of a Florida Department of Education investigation involving a fifth-grade noun. Jenna Barbee alleged a Hernando County School Board member reported her to the DOE for showing her students Disney's "Strange World." It's the first Disney movie with an out, gay character.
In November at the Los Angeles premiere of "Strange World," star Jake Gyllenhaal said Disney's animated family adventure normalizes a "queer kid" character as part of its storyline about young people finding their own identity. Said Gyllenhaal: "who we are and what we meet and what meets us in our life is what forms our id
