So Disney has never had a mainstream openly gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans character. That might all change when Frozen 2 is released, but did Frozen already have a gay character in it?

So, there are no mainstream gay characters in Disney films but that doesn’t mean that there hasn’t been any representation at all.
In the 2013 hit Frozen, the film-makers managed to sneak in a nod to gay families by making Oaken, the mountainside store owner, gay.
There’s a quick scene where he introduces his partner, another man, seemingly surrounding by their children, blink and you’ll almost miss it, but it proved to be a powerful commitment to added a more diverse set of characters for Disney.
The Big Issue asked Jennifer Lee, the film’s writer and co-director, if Oaken was gay and whether the image of another man surrounded by children was an acknowledgement of LGBT families.
She told them,
“We know what we made,
“But at the same time I feel like once we hand the film over, it belongs to the world. So I don’t like to say anything, and just let the fans talk. I think it’s up to them.”
In the first film, the film-makers shunned the normal heteronormative narrative for the character of Elsa and she managed to get through the entire film without falling in love with someone of the opposite sex, something that was widely lauded as a positive.
Gay hook-up app Grindr is famous for its application as its distinctive look. So, how did the name and look come about?
We asked the app’s creator Joel Simkhai about the look and name. He told us in 2012 that the look came about because he wanted it to be “powerful” and a “little rough”.
When asked about the colouring and the use of the ‘gimp’ mask, Joel said,
“We looked for something that was masculine and tough and I think all our branding: our logo, our colouring almost everything about it falls into those categories.”
Aggressive
When deciding on the whole look and branding for Grindr the creator decided that the look and feel of the app should be “a but aggressive” and “powerful”.
The name came about because Joel liked the idea of grinding coffee and the notion of mixing.
Speaking to THEGAYUK in 2012, Joel said,
“We were looking for something a bit aggressive and thought of this notion of the coffee grinder and the notion of mixing, but it’s not just the idea of mixing it’s about grinding, very powerful and so it’s a little rough, we wanted an edginess to it, we didn’t want a softness to it.”
One of Strictly‘s most enduring judges is the passionate Bruno Tonioli. His excitement and intensity have been getting people questioning whether the TV personality is gay.
BBC
Is Bruno Tonioli gay?
The simple answer to this is yes. The Italian dancer, choreographer and TV personality Bruno Tonioli is openly gay. In previous interviews, he has spoken candidly about how he was homophobically bullied as a child and joked that he was the “only gay” in his village. As a child, Bruno was more interested in going to musicals rather than playing football like the other boys in his village. He said that he was frightened and that he assumed that he was the only gay in his hometown.
Speaking to The Mirror in 2005 he said,
“When I was 10, I knew there was something different about me,
“Everyone was football-mad but I just wanted to watch musicals and see art.
“It was frightening. I really WAS the only gay in the village. I was labelled ‘the queenie guy’ and ‘the queer’, which was the worst thing you could be told in Italy in those days.
BBC
Despite knowing that he was different to others, the topic of homosexuality and coming out to his family was totally off limits.
“When I was growing up, Catholics didn’t talk about sex – it was taboo,” he says.
“To my mum I was never gay. It was not in the realm of things my parents could compute. I was never even tempted to bring up the subject.

“The main reason is as my grandparents get older it’s a show they absolutely love. Although they’ve always been unconditionally proud of me I think there is something magical about being able to take part in something which gives them such joy and escapism especially as they suffer from all sorts of illnesses.”

I mean, here’s the thing: I wasn’t raised in a household where it was considered abnormal to be gay. So for me to meet people who use the word ‘faggot’ as an insult, with a derogatory meaning, I can’t take it. I don’t understand it. It’s so foreign to me.
