Best LGBTQ+ TV Shows On Disney+ Right Now

Although Disney+ still has a ways to go to compete with many of its competitor streaming services, they do offer a few noteworthy TV shows with LGBTQ+ representation. Disney and Disney+ have often avoided queer representation in the past as it attempts to court wide markets and doesn't want to rock the boat with more conservative audiences. Yet, viewers interested in shows featuring queer characters and relationships do still have some options to choose from.

Disney has been infamous for preventing its LGBTQ+ representation from becoming more than subtext. Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch has claimed that Disney stopped him from including queer characters, and the more recent series The Owl House had to fight for its groundbreaking representation. Most of the time, however, Disney's LGBTQ+ representation has remained the bare minimum, like with the MCU series Loki, which only included a brief moment in episode 3 that alluded to Loki's bisexuality and easter egg about his gender identity.

Disney+ Considers These Shows to be LGBTQ+ Shows

Jonas J Campbell asks &#;What is a Pride Month Piece of Content?&#; Luckily, Disney has made a list.

 

Ever since I started a YouTube channel that aims to shine a light on woke elements of pop culture, I get a lot of pushback on what is considered &#;woke&#; and what is &#;definitely not woke.&#; While it can be subjective at times, I have to roar when someone tries to narrate me that non-binary characters in children’s show is not a representation of woke values, or that woke used to indicate something else so my argument is invalid.

Well, today Disney did me a favor and outright stated that the following shows contain LGBTQ+ content by adding them to their “Pride Collection.”

I’m saving this list here at That Park Place for exploit as reference for myself and to be helpful to any people wishing to know how Disney classifies its content. Also, it might come in handy for when somebody questions if a children’s show is “woke.” Productions that are specifically marketed to underage viewers appear in bold text.

    In November at the Los Angeles premiere of "Strange World," star Jake Gyllenhaal said Disney's animated family adventure normalizes a "queer kid" character as part of its storyline about young people finding their own identity. Said Gyllenhaal: "who we are and what we meet and what meets us in our life is what forms our id
