Homosexuality isn't something that should be age restricted, it's not inherently dirtier than a hetero relationship and it's not going to be in any way shape or form more explicit. You can tell a chaste love story between two people of the same sex just as well as you can tell a chaste hetero love story.

I'd be all for a gay princess but I don't think it's too likely to ever happen especially now Hollywood is learning that diversity doesn't always equal profits. At best we might get a nod to it in Frozen 2 but Elsa will never have a girlfriend, they'll just keep her on her own rather than pair her up with anyone else.

Trans issues require a more intricate story to tell, many adults don't fully understand it so to cover it in a good way for children would be difficult. I imagine Disney won't touch that hot button because they'll risk upsetting both sides of the coin. People will be mad that they included trans issues and others will be made if it's not done in the way they want it.

Having a slutty prince or princess is really not needed tbh.

The point is there’s no difference between two men/women kissing or a man and a woman kissing, theres no “conversation” to be had

I wonder if Hollywood would be able to treat it just like another romance, or if they'd act like it's a big deal. Being LGBT is inconsequential, and if the matter is shown in a film it should be treated as such.

Just as long as a creepy weirdo like the presenter of Queer Kid Stuff on youtube isn't consulted, it could be okay.

This. I think with the trans stuff they'd just have to not make it political. Maybe have a trans character shown to exist and just treated normally, but yeah nothing to do with 'trans issues', we can't even figure all that stuff out ourselves never mind try and communicate it to kids

[Withano]

Wasnt the character from inside out bigender, or gender-fluid or something?

Rileys Mom had all-female emotions

Spoiler:

Rileys dad had all-male emotions

Spoiler:

Riley had both genders

Spoiler:

I’m pretty sure Disney has been trying to get these more taboo things in for years now

Riley's a unisex name too so all of that probably isn't a coincidence. I haven't actually seen it though.

I think its overrated tbh, but yeh, seems deliberate.

ofc I think if I grew up knowing what homosexuality was through film (especially Disney films as I was obsessed with them as a kid)it would take me a lot less time to accept who I was. I don't think people understand how much a media presence can help a child understand differences. theres a reason kids as a whole are far more accepting of homosexuality than they were a few years ago as they are told its okay. its better for it to be explained than be ignored right off

[Jamie89]

The only reason I can think of why it would be inappropriate is if people think it would encourage kids to be gay, but surely in 2018 we've moved on from the 'being gay is a choice' way of thinking?

People can have whatever conversation with their kids they choose - it isn’t your call.

Gay / ambiguous sexuality or transgender is fine, why not?

I think I'd draw the line at them snorting coke and shagging anything that moves, though .

Let them shag!

[Jamie89]

Genuine question but what even is 'the conversation'? If it's just about gay people existing (nothing to do with sex) I don't understand what the conversation would involve?

i don't have a problem with people sleeping around (while practicing safe sex) but i would still consider that as more of an adult topic so i don't think we need a promiscuous prince/princess

[user104658]

There could be a promiscuous gay version of Cinderella, except instead of a glass slipper, the Prince swabs a sample of cum from his arsehole and goes on a quest to match the DNA.
