What are the other movies?

  1. Finding Dory: Has a lesbian couple on screen for 3 seconds. Was an ENORMOUS deal at the time. Disney marketed it.
  2. Beauty and the Beast (2017 Live Action): Disney specifically marketed how Josh Gads character was their first gay character. They also marketed an "exclusive gay moment". That moment was him dancing with another man in a group scene for like 2 seconds.
  3. Thor Ragnarok: Wasn't announced until Love and Thunder but Valkyrie is bisexual.
  4. Avengers Endgame: Also touted as a "big moment" and the first gay character in the MCU. During the opening grief counseling session that Cap America runs, one dude is talking about how he went on a date with another man. Here's there for a maximum of 20 seconds.
  5. Toy Story 4: You can see a lesbian couple for like 1-3 seconds.
  6. Rise of Skywalker: Also touted as a huge moment for Star Wars, Disney started talking about how it was the first lesbian couple. At the end of the movie there's a 1 second shot of two women kissing. Disney marketed it as first on screen same sex kiss.
  7. **Onward:**The cyclops cop is a lesbian. There's a single line where she says her girlfriend's daughter did something.
  8. Jungle Cruise: Disney said that Jack MacGregor was their first "major gay character". There is a single line in the film hinting towards his sexuality. Dwayne Johnsons character asks why he never got married and Jack says "my interests lie elsewhere". That's it. Apparently that counts for being gay.
  9. Eternals: Disney touted that one as being the 'First Gay Superhero'. He's not a major character or anything but you do see a scene with him and his husband/son.
  10. Cruella: Also marketed by Disney as being their 'first major gay character' despite them claiming that twice for Beauty and the Beast and for Jungle Cruise. In this movie, the gay character is the hyper flamboyant, fashion loving villain.
  11. High School Musical The Series: A Disney+ show. They marketed that one for the 'First Gay Disney Love Song'.
  12. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: America Chavez is a lesbian and the movie was marketed for having the 'First Gay Superhero', apparently ignoring Eternals from previously.
  13. Lightyear: 'First Pixar Same-sex Kiss in a Pixar movie' was claimed for this one. However it was only put back into the movie after news broke that Disney was donating to anti-gay politicians and that they constantly cut LGBTQ content behind the scenes they stuck this scene in. Then it came out that this scene too was originally cut. Shocker.
  14. Ms. Marvel: Another Disney+ show. They have a same-sex teenage lesbian couple.
  15. Strange World: The thing in the meme. First Gay Teenage character.

ABC is owned by Disney. ABC owns Scrubs. Therefore the first gay love song from Disney is “Guy Love” sung by JD and Turk and I will die on this hill.
