LGBTQ+ Included In Disney Cartoon Show. Can we get more black representation now?!?!
It’s a new day and age…
February 28, 2022
Disney made a reboot of the show ‘Proud Family’, a classic! Disney fans were going crazy over this reboot, very hyped and excited for this show to be making a comeback. Two episodes have been so far released and there are some characters apart of the lgbtq+ community. Some may agree with Disney’s decision and some may think it’s not appropriate for a children’s show. My opinion is if you don’t want your kids watchin’ it then don’t let ’em!! But it’s a new day and age, they’ll learn about it one way or another.
Disney making a reboot of this show was definitely the right move to make. Now all we need is either a live action ‘Princess and the Frog’ or another Black Disney Princess! C’mon Disney, there’s only one African American princess. We need representation! Don’t get me wrong Disney has been doing amazing with including different cultures, especially in their latest movie ‘Encanto’ but still, we need another Black princess. Am I asking for too much?
How do you feel about Disney including LGBTQ+ ? Do you agree there should be a live action ‘Princess and the Frog’ and/or a new black princess movie?

I don’t think it’s the right time for kids to be thinking about their sexuality. it’s way to early and i think kids should just be worried about kids things.

Glad to see the LGBTQ+ community is finally getting the representation they need!

Me personally I feel like its cool to have that community involved but they don’t need to ruin childhoods by involving them all the time, especially old shows.

I disagree…… how does a character´s sexuality ruin your childhood? It´s extremely disrespectful to say that and it helps for the normalization of the lgbtq community if they are included all the time.

I am very glad about Disney including LGBTQ+ people!

LGBTQ+ representation is just as important. It can makes people feel less isolated in society.

This is amazing !! More shows and movies need to add things like this.

Now I want to see how good this reboot is.

Representation in all communities is needed. Bringing one down for the other is unneeded.

right!!

I don’t like how they try to change everything in the 21st-century gay, like it is no problem with being gay but the show should have been left the way it was in the beginning.

See this is something I wanna see, yes it is fine that they are supporting LGBTQ+ what is up with seeing the black return, we had proud family, static shock, that’s so Raven and so on. I wanna see more just like everyone else.

Glad to see that the LGBTQ+ community is getting more representation.

Disney including LGBTQ+ representation is a big step for the company, especially since so many parents don’t want it. Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse started as a minstrel character, and is founded on racism. So there being more black figures would be great.

The new show is very good, i really enjoy it.

It’s nice that Disney is being more diverse and evolving with the up coming generation but it just seem like they never evolve when it comes to the black communities.

I feel its nice that Disney is including more people of different beliefs, races, religions and preferences.

I really like the show.

I think it was cool for Disney to include LGBTQ, considering people feel that LGBTQ needs to be represented more.
Grace Shongo • Mar 1, 2022 at 7:55 AM
I agree! Another black disney princess would be super great!
Sharon Madu • Mar 1, 2022 at 7:43 AM
Agreed!

I think that characters that are lgbt+ should be included more in media and not as just a gag or paint badly, they’re regular people and kids will encounter them in their life or be apart of it when they are older. I also think that we’ve had enough reboots and remakes, we need original content; give us a black character that hasn’t been ran through the ground yet.

Nice article!
