I found this very timely blog article that discusses how Ken was portrayed in Toy Story 3. I have posted it for my readers who participated in yesterday's class about whether or not Disney is truly gay friendly. I have not seen TS3 so I can't give my opinion on this matter, but I find the comments section of this blog entry very interesting. Some folks get very defensive when Disney is criticized regarding the messages in their movies. This time the people defending Disney are saying that such a LGBTQ company is incapable of sending out homophobic or misogynist messages. I don't think Disney's reputation (or any company's for that matter) means that they are above scrutiny. And really, I have mixed feelings about whether they truly deserve such a reputation. What do you think?
