There’s been a lot of talk lately about introducing gay characters to popular Hollywood franchises, from Captain America to Disney’s Frozen.
And while we’re sure the demand for queer main characters will rage on, some eagle-eyed Disney fans think they’ve spotted the first LGBTQ Pixar characters in the recently released UK trailer for Finding Dory. And no, it’s not “Dory,” voiced by Ellen Degeneres.
The maybe-lesbian couple pop up in a scene at an aquarium, and as far as speculation goes, it seems pretty believable that it’s what the animators were going for.
We can almost hear One Million Moms’ desperate cry for a boycott coming from a mile away.
Take a look:
Not to over-generalize, but we’ve known more than a few lesbians over the years who fit the bill.
We think this is one cute couple!
You can watch the trailer below — the ladies come in around the 1:10 mark:

I’m not surprised seeing as this is Ellen’s project that she has been talking about for years. Great to see gay couples included in mainstream cinema without fanfare.
