Disney now has an openly gay President and has dumped hundreds of thousands into Orlando’s first ever annual weeklong vacation celebration for LGBT families, but it wasn’t always so gay-friendly.

The comic below, which was created in 1931, shows Mickey visiting Kat Nipp, an effeminate cat with a fabulous prance and a noticeable lisp:

We’re not going to hold it against you, Mickey. You’ve more than proven yourself in the last 80 years.
