pretty wonderful for young people to see. Like her dad says this, "Well, I'm proud of you, honey, for trying to make all your fans happy. But since you can't do that, the one that you really need to make happy is you." And you can just see that being the line that he says after an episode where she decides whether or not she's going to come out as gay as Hannah Montana. In conclusion, this video is obviously like a fun joke in a lot of ways, but I think it's pretty telling that there's a popular Tumblr, LGBT Disney head cannons, that is literally run and was created by a group of teenagers. Clearly there's a desire for this representation, not just from adults who feel that they would have benefited from it as children, but from actual children as well. The fact that we're still talking about first gay characters is frankly ridiculous. And the fact that there will almost certainly have been people who looked at the title of this video and thought that it was unnecessary, or wrong, or even dangerous only serves to prove how needed this representation is. Disney is a powerhouse of storytelling that defines so many people's childhoods. What they value, what they dream of. And although everyone can learn from the stories of bravery and empathy that straight characters go through, they could just as easily learn those from queer characters. And it would have the added benefit of giving young queer and questioning people the support and validation of seeing themselves in an onscreen hero. I would love to hear your queer Disney theories in the comments, and if you would like to help support me making videos like this one, then I will leave a link to my Patreon in the description as well.

We're done guys, and for the people who have stuck around to the end of this video, I've started to do little treats for people who stick around until the very end. And this one is a doozie because I have kittens now. I realised I don't think I had them last time I did a video, so I'm going to, they're locked in the other room. I'm going to go and get them so you get to see them. This is Ichabod. Hi,
