Which Disney Characters Were Gay/Bi?

I always thought Gaston pinged and just used Belle as his beard.

Peter Pan is a total aging power bottom who surrounds himself with twinks and a bitchy fag hag.

I could see Pocahontas as bi, or 'no labels'.

Elsa is a former closeted lesbian who 'let it go' yet still obsess over her family with no girlfriend in sight.

Who else?

The Disney Channel series are often good places to find obviously coded Gays, especially the mid-90's/00's cartoons and certain live-actions that aired on a Saturday morning.

Lloyd of LLOYD IN SPACE is clearly a baby-Gay. Cadpig from 101 DALMATIANS: TAS is a baby Yoga-Les. Herc from HERCULES: TAS is a young stud still confused about his sexuality. Same for Gordo of LIZZIE MCGUIRE. Jumbo & Pleakley from LILO & STITCH were canon Gays, they got married in one episode.

Totally, R32. John Smith was a man, not a boy, and there's something attractive about that. Some would say he's more attractive than almost all the Disney Princes and beaus, because he's so worldly and dauntless. He wouldn't be a stranger to gay experiences either - Disney's John Smith is a tolerant fella, and you know, he's a sailor in any case....

Looking back it seems like Thomas (the young redhead crewman, played by Christian Bale) was in love with John, or at least hero-worshipped him to an extreme degree. The two hold hands in a scene where John is stretched, iirc.

R36 you probably already noticed that by the last seasons, Cory's love for Shawn is so blatantly romantic that after her marriage, Topanga throws her hands up and just starts treating Shawn as a 2nd spouse. It's played for laughs but also made clear that Shawn is Cory's soulmate and will always be a presence in his life....and this proves true in GMW.

Didn't the girl that plays Riley recently say something to the press, to the effect of 'I'm Queer, but don't label me'? There have been plenty of rumors about Rider Strong since the mid-90's, like that he identified as openly gay in College.

Wanna say Tommy the Green Ranger, but the Saban vs. Disney disputes confuse. Anyone know whether Mickey ever actually got his sticky gloves on the Mighty Morphin' (or any version) Power Rangers in the end?

by Anonymousreply 45June 15, 2016 3:11 PM

The only time Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto actually says anything occurs the cartoon "The Moose Hunt" (1931), when Mickey thinks he's dead, and hugs him, begging, "Pluto, speak to me!" Whereupon the dog holds out his front legs and and calls out, "Kiss me!" Only time Pluto ever spoke!

Also, in their 30's cartoons, characters were constantly dressing in drag. In "Moose Hunters" (1937), Goofy and Donald dress up like a female moose, complete with blonde curls and lipstick. The Big Bad Wolf dresses like a fairy with wings, complete with what appears to be the same blonde braids and red lipstick, in the short, "The Big Bad Wolf" (1934), calling himself "Goldilocks the Fairy Queen!," in order to lure Little Red Riding Hood and the 2 other dumb pigs home for dinner. He tries the same thing again (!), in "The Three Little Wolves," (1936), when he dresses up like Little Bo Peep, complete with what appears to be that same blonde wig again.

And, of course, we can't forget "Who Killed Cock Robin?" (1935), wherein a very fey Dan Cupid admits to shooting the title character with his love arrow. Very queer stereotype.

CADET KELLY must be the gayest DC:OM, bar none.

Hilary Duff's perky-titted bottle-blonde Kelly and Christy Carlson-Romano's hardass bitch Capt. Stone (really, that's her name) had SO MUCH tension. This movie's main plot is about them learning to negotiate their attraction vs. the power imbalance in their relationship, and trying to resist the urge to jump into one another's bunks. Had this been made a non-Disney/kids movie it would be a lesbian cult classic by now.

One major plot device is about a rainbow striped blanket, for crying out loud. Also, military school.

Shawn Ashmore also stars, but not remotely as a serious love interest. He's an irrelevant twinky B-chara to tick the Token Gay Boy box, and to give Christy C. Romano someone to push around and domme a little.

Jason Grey (played by Kevin Jonas) in 'Camp Rock' is far less flamboyant & horribly stereotypical than Grabeel's Ryan in HSM, but is so naturally out there, he doesn't need to be. Jason is still too sexless, but at least he's down to earth.

Unlike Ryan of HSM, Jason never even gets a female love interest or even the slightest implication he could be straight. Jason is also older than typical Disney teens (around College grad age in 'Camp Rock') so it's not weird to lust after him.

He's got to be in the Top 5 for Gay Disney Characters, at least in a live-action only ranking.

Adam 'Banksy' Banks played by Vincent LaRusso, the shy & insecure Glass Cannon of JV hockey team in THE MIGHTY DUCKS.

Banks was young throughout those movies (only 16/17 by the final one) so possibly was just a kid with no interest in a lovelife or romantic attachment at all, but several of his teammates were coupled up even in the first film (when they were all like 12 years old) so he stood out for not showing interest any girls or anyone else. He also had a strong 'friendship' with his teammate Charlie played by Joshua Jackson, which took a turn for the angsty when they fell out in part 3 and wound up looking like a bitter breakup. Banks' team often affectionately called him 'cake-eater', which in hockey parlance means 'wussy rich-kid' but somehow also sounds like a dig about being a little too fabulous. Go, Banksy!

Bansky totally wanted Charlie R65, good catch. Which was insane as Banks was cute enough to get any Varsity hottie he wanted even as a Junior, and Charlie was a petty whining mess in all three of those movies, wayyyy too obsessed with his coach (serious Daddy issues). But a gay hockey player is something Disney would never touch no matter how 'tolerant' the Company get, even the NHL don't talk about it.

Vincent LaRusso grew up hot btw. He tends bar somewhere in SoHo now, according to Twitter.

I can easily imagine Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty 1959) having a slightly older, little chubby but still good looking "gentleman's gentleman" who helped him with his bathing, dressing, etc. Unbeknownst to his daddy the king but well known among the servants, Phillip and this man were much more than master and servant. In fact, when they were alone, Phillip called his dresser "Sir" 😉 Can you imagine what Phillip looked like naked?!

"Frozen"'s Kristoff Bjorgmann, maybe it's Jonathan Groff's voice, but the ice harvester kind of pings to me. I have a feeling the grand romance so many way too obsessed "Frozen" fans are expecting will just be Kristoff and Anna being besties like Mouse and Mona and going out hunting for guys together. Then Anna will walk in on Kristoff's big furry blonde bubblebutt bouncing up and down as he plows Prince Hans' skinny ass (yeah I think he's gay too). Anna runs off to tell Elsa and finds Elsa getting scissored by Pocahontas. Anna throws herself off the nearest balcony. Once she's dead on the cobblestones below, that fucking snowman comes waddling by. "Oh look! She's dead!" then does his annoying chuckle as he waddles away. The End. I wonder what kind of 17 inch limited edition dolls The Disney Store could make for that?

Yes, The Prince from "Snow White" does have serious gay face. I've never noticed it before because I was too busy staring at his chest and thighs! I can only imagine what that ass must have looked like!

A BUG'S LIFE (1998) is replete with coded gay characters and camp, principally among the 'Carny' bugs. Francis the Ladybug has trouble with his identity, and stick-insect Slim is voiced by David Hyde-Pierce. There's also queeny eldergay praying-mantis Manny and his hag, the beautiful Gypsy Moth (really).

However, the strongest gay vibes in this movie actually issue from the tortured antagonistic relationship between the plucky, sensitive hero ant Flik and his bullying tyrant oppressor Hopper the cricket. Through the length of the movie they dance around each other with a thick tension loaded with curiosity but also panic. They have a physical showdown (although more exactly called a curb stomp) toward the end that comes off uncomfortably sexual, with D/s dynamics between Hopper & Flik in spite of the brutal context. All the whimpering from Flik....

Disney never should have touched that Power Ranger shit with a ten foot pole. Knowing that the producers were homophobic assholes goes a long way of explaining why I fucking hate that show then and now and think anyone who likes it is a tool and an enabler. The only reason Eisner ever had anything to do with it in the first place was to get back at Fox over some bullshit contract dispute regarding which channel in LA had [italic]The Disney Afternoon[/italic]; Disney bought out KCAL party so they could air it there, but the Fox affiliate KTTV had their two-hour block of shows and didn't want to give it up. Meanwhile, Fox also started their own version of [italic]Peter Pan[/italic] to compete with the re-releases of the Disney and Mary Martin versions while they also got involved in WB's animation revival with [italic]Tiny Toon Adventures[/italic] and [italic]Animaniacs[/italic]. But then Warner Bros wanted their own network and got one, so in 1995 [italic]Tiny Toons[/italic] ended and [italic]Animaniacs[/italic] moved to Kids WB and the douchebro crap (which I hated) replaced all the funny animal shows (which I loved) on Fox, the network that helped normalize being an asshole. Barry Diller and Michael Eisner once were friends and colleagues, but they burned bridges over this and the output of Disney suffered as a result.

And back on topic, Andreas Deja, the former Disney animator who animated, among other things, Gaston in 1991's [italic]Beauty and the Beast[/italic], is gay.

R65 that subtext between Bombay & Charlie gets very interesting in Part III. Watching it as an adult makes for an awkward experience.

Their bond is supposed to come off as father/son (Charlie's dad is absent, Bombay's is dead/was emotionally abusive) but as Joshua Jackson starts crying mid-scene having spent the whole movie pining embarrassingly for his Coach it is overplayed and becomes romantic. This would not be a problem in an adult indie movie about college kids (might even be a good B-plot), but this is a Disney movie where the leads are in 9th grade; Charlie is 14 (played by a 19 year old Josh) and Coach Bombay his late-30s. It's a squeamish watch and too overwrought to be cute.

Wiggins, the horribly stereotypically- femme sidekick of mercantile Governor Ratcliff in POCAHONTAS.

In fact Ratcliff was this side of fabulous too, but in a posturing social-climbing way typical of courtiers of the time.

The Mouse will not touch bestiality where it involves a human character, but interestingly there's plenty of material between other species or entities. The canon is littered with examples both official and jsubtextual, starting with the coded-gay Baloo & Bagheera in the 60s and continuing right up to now.

In ZOOTOPIA an inter-species romance was never made explicit, but was so heavily hinted at that in the end writers threw their hands up and admitted it was meant to be a thing. They even released deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray that show the two (a rabbit & a fox, insanely) are considered a romantic couple.

[quote] ZOOTOPIA has the unlikely pairing of rabbit police officer Judy Hopps and fox con man Nick Wilde. As different as the two characters are, by the end of the film they have become incredibly close. It turns out, an early version of the film included a scene that joked with the idea of the two being more than simply friends. As part of the film’s Blu-Ray release, we can now get an idea of what that would have looked like. For obvious reasons, this relationship status would have to be listed as complicated.

R75 meet R97. The 'Cappie' actor Scott Michael-Foster played the live-action Kristoff in OUAT.

There is definitely sexual tension between Kristoff and Hans.

There were some gay/twincestuous vibes in the THE SUITE LIFE MOVIE (2011) on Disney Channel.

The gay tension starts in the opening credits. We meet 18 year-old Cody (Cole Sprouse) suit-attired and preparing a romantic dinner for his girlfriend....which is then interrupted (before the girl can even arrive) by Cody's twin brother Zack (Dylan Sprouse), who mocks the poor girl in her absence and then proceeds to sabotage the date so it can't happen (because "it's fun" to break up straight people, in Zack's words).

From this point the twins bicker yet remain attached at the hip (for no strong reason), until after a day of disaster Cody tells Zack he hates him and wants an estrangement (breakup). They get back together by the half-hour mark, then become entangled in a shady underground science-program designed to induce telepathy, empathy and a tangible remote connection between twins (I.e., one feels what the other feels physically & emotionally). Now, were this NC17+ or a National Lampoon film this plot device would naturally lead to sexual hijinx and experimentation (imagine the possibilities...), but this is the Disney Channel so Zack/Cody just cry together, tell each other "I love you" telepathically and pinch/punch each other a little to diffuse the romantic atmosphere. Even in a sexless PG environ it's still really gay. Helps also that the Sprouse Twins became a) legal and b) somewhat post-pubescent on the set of TSLM.

As I recall there were a couple of subtle but explicit twincest jokes in the actual script, and after the movie came out the fundie parents watching with their kids took to the Internet to complain and get them censored. They never show this movie on the Disney Channel anymore so perhaps they succeeded.

R108 that checks out. I'm guessing you watched the second series of 'Zack & Cody' if you know that much about them, but if you didn't know there's more content like that in the series, only more comedic and less angsty.

In one episode ('The Play's The Thing'), Cody is hurting fresh off a nasty breakup with his girlfriend. To get over this hurt, he decides to throw together and star in an improvised farcical play about how poorly his girlfriend treated him. Cody naturally asks his brother Zack to play him i.e. the boyfriend role. All well and good....except that come show-time Cody has, unbeknownst to Zack, donned a cute pink-sequin prom-dress & pumps ready to play the part of his ex. On the appearance of Cody in costume, Zack takes it oddly in stride and registers only mild surprise ("Cody, I knew this day would come but I didn't expect it so soon), unlike the disgusted audience.

Midway through the production Cody demands a kiss from Zack, who declines but compromises by kissing his own palm (and then slapping Cody). They play out the rest of the story complete with romantic dialogue (Zack, deadpanning: "She's gorgeous....every mans' Dream") with only one character (a gay-vague coded character himself) pointing out the gay/incest subtext. The whole scene is more funny than weird, and even a little Shakespearean in nature. It helps that skinny teenage Cole Sprouse with hair extensions looks like a younger sister to Patti Smith, and his Southern Belle accent and overplaying are endearing and zany ("or IS ITTT??"").

R114 thanks for the breakdown - I do know that episode and saw most of the spinoff series it came from, but haven't seen it for years (kids I used to sit for watched religiously) so it was very cool of you to hunt down the clip for me.

Cole is cute in drag and almost looks like a real geeky, gangly chick. It's uncanny. Iirc that was the third time he crossdressed in the series, it was kind of a long-running occasional gag. Interesting that Dylan never did it.

Amazing. Disney Channel would never get away with that now, as the T-kids and their parental Controllers would glitch and scream phobia. But you just know if the brothers had kissed for the camera, there would be equal outrage.

Courtesy of pioneering gay playwright/lyricist/composer and eventual concept designer Howard Ashman, R121. He was the first director of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS off-Broadway, and wrote with Alan Menken at Disney.

His contribution to BEAUTY... is enormous, and he is responsible for both the leading character Arc and the iconic musical motif ('Tale As Old As Time'). It was the final film he worked on before succumbing to AIDS at just 40 years old, just 8 months before the movie was released to critical acclaim (first animated feature-length to win the Best Picture Oscar), and the parallel between the suffering of Beast and Ashman himself is fairly obvious. Ashman was the very first gay man with AIDS to win an Academy Award.

[quote] Beast works as a tragic allegory for Ashman’s own plight. Cursed to bodily transformation, the Beast ages and weakens in accordance to a wilting rose, and he is shunned from a society that fails to understands his plight amid public fear and speculation. [...] Shortly before his death, the production team made one last visit to Ashman's New York home. Ashman was suffering from Dementia and had lost his sight, while his weight had plummeted to five stone. But the filmmakers told him that the results of the film's first private screening had been an enormous success. "Who would have thought it?" Hahn asked him. "I would," was Ashman's reply.

Ashman also had a hand in ALADDIN in 1991-2 (the songs 'Arabian Nights' and 'Friend Like Me') and prior to that THE LITTLE MERMAID in 1988-9.

[quote] While Disney rejected his original concept (one based on the look of Joan Collins's Dynasty super-bitch Alexis Carrington) the eventual Ursula design was based on the drag queen Divine.

Question is, will Jafar be the camp gay he was in the animated? Sadly it looks like Disney are going for that Frau dolla and making him a typical 'Zaddy', playing down any flamboyance and gay traits.

There's a hilariously cruel nugget of gossip history about the 'Suite Life on Deck' from the gals at L-Chat, R114. I read it years ago and never forgot it. Every time I look at a Sprouse I see Debby Ryan crying. If it's true then fuck those bitchy twins, Deb was a healthy girl and did not deserve bullying, least of all for her weight (funny as the scene may be in my mind). If anything they should have picked on her for her faith.

[quote] As for the Debby Ryan stuff, I don't think she is a lesbian. The past gossip I've read and heard about her was that Sprouse twins always hated her and made fun of her weight in the Suite Life on Deck. Debby does come from a conservative Christian background. Her mom has a blog and comes off as a sanctimonious bitch.

I had a Lez crush on Megara from HERCULES as a kid, although I didn't know that's what it was then.

In her mid-late 20s she's the oldest Disney 'Princess' (some people don't even consider her one, and I'm more than ok with that) and is absolutely incontrovertibly the hottest woman in the canon. Her attitude is extremely sexy and her wit sharp as a knife, she's more than just a pretty 'nice' girl like most of them. IMO she could have done better and more for herself than a boring farmboy like Hercules.

R96 you know, ABC Family were seeding subtextually bi/gay couples in the 90s. Nice to know they got around to making gay a tangible reality in the years following.

When it comes to the early ABC teencoms many people forget about Steve & Marty (& Jordan), the ambiguous boys of ‘Teen Angel’.

Steve & Marty in particular have a relationship that is closetqueer-coded to the max - it’s ‘invisible’ (Marty is a spirit), it has its own secretive place in Steve’s world (ie. his bedroom & his head), and on account of being an Angel Marty can perform ‘magic’ for Steve’s benefit (defying widely accepted natural laws). There’s also the matter of campy Marty’s fabulous Victoria’s Secret-esque angel wings, and his raging jealousy over cute clueless Steve’s affectionate friendship with their school’s very dumb & very gorgeous jock Jordan, who unsually reciprocates the fascination.

Shame about the seemingly obligatory no-homo joke slotted into every episode. Maybe that why it only got one season where the indulgently & unapologetically gay ‘Boy Meets World’ got seven....

Well if Star Wars counts, I'm going to have to mention the Emperor.

He was a fabulous queen who never had a wife or family, not even when he was still keeping up the appearances of an innocent politician. And there was definately something going on between him and Anakin. Think about it - if you knew a powerful politician with no woman around, who always shows up with a pretty young male "protege", what would your conclusion be? Yes, Palpatine was Anakin's sugar daddy.

His goal was always to make Anakin into his personal dungeon sex slave, which he ultimately succeeded in as we can see from the leather gear Anakin wears as Vader and how he refers to the Emperor as his "master".

How quickly some gays forget. ‘Phantom Menace’ redefined Jedi as passionate warrior monks with no heterosexuality to speak of, ascetics with ‘partners’ as seen with the tender bond-relationship between Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan (which btw endures beyond the grave).

Yeah, for about five years until they spent all the profits on making pretentiously bloated shit and using that to justify shutting down traditional animation and switching to CGI, all the while enabling two serial sex offenders.
