Reality.

It is literally 1 or 2 seconds. It’s an extremely quick flash that’s in the background. Not even given focus from what I remember, although I could be wrong on that. It was just so forgettable.

  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.

According to out.com there are 17 and most of them have the representation of either it being a backhanded reference to them being queer or being on screen for all of 3 seconds. Oh lawd jesus. So oppressive.

Just a bunch of whiny people who are so incredibly insecure with their own sexuality that they think someone else could turn them gay. Probably because they spend more time than they want to admit fantasizing about sucking cock.

Sorry. As a gay dude I am just so phenomenally tired of hearing the most represented group on the planet whine about being “under-represented” or having to be “forced to watch gay people, THINK OF THE KIDS” when shit like Boss Baby is created where you have a literal infant lusting over women.

Good 'ol Russian Badger. Favorite bit of his is probably the one that goes on about shooting yourself with small caliber bullets to build up resistance to larger caliber.

Great bit.

I’ve got a really personal connection to 9/11 so the memories surrounding it are really vivid for me. Was talking to a buddy the other day about it and he started laughing and I asked why. He said “You were playing with a pocket knife and I was shitting in my diapers.” It was at that moment I remembered he was born in 2000. My joints immediately were filled with sand.
