Abstract

The Walt Disney Company has a long, complicated history with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly regarding film representation. There has been much external pressure on Disney to provide better LGBTQ+ depiction, further emphasized with controversies surrounding their involvement in Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill. In recent years, there have been some indications of progress in animated films such as (2022) and (2022). In this article, I analyse these films as exemplary of how Disney can be more LGBTQ+ inclusive in both their censorship practices (the re-instatement of a same-sex kiss in ), and their narratives, themes and character developments (the introduction of Disney’s first openly gay character – Ethan – in ). I also place these films within their wider political context, recognizing them as both reflective of Disney’s efforts to correct its past, and their significance in normalizing queer experiences during a time of growing hostility towards LGBTQ+ communities, and introduction of laws that negatively impact queer youth. I conclude with some thought on the company’s future, and whether progression will continue in film representation – when the future of democracy and visibility is increasingly uncertain, Disney can and need to ‘say gay’, now more than ever.
