The Right Squad, a collection of far-right homophobes on the Republican propaganda organ Newsmax, all agree that the new gay-friendly Disney+ series Agatha All Along from Disneys Marvel Studios is a threat to children.Its a recruiting video, claimed host Chris Plante. Related One of the most viciously anti-LGBTQ+ political groups is imploding Multiple board members have resigned over the past few months and half of the staff has left due to their leaders alleged groping of male staffers.

In fact, he said he hadnt even seen the show but opined that its inappropriate for children and that Disney should make sure that people know that its inappropriate for children. You dont have to act like they dont exist in film, Nichols said of gay people, referring to actor Joe Lockes statements of support for Agatha All Alongs inclusiveness. I dont know exactly what they mean.The most revealing take came from Mercedes Schlapp, wife of alleged groper Matt Schlapp, whose once-powerful anti-LGBTQ+ advocacy group, the American Conservative Union, imploded last year after young male staffers assigned to Herschel Walkers doomed Senate campaign came forward accusing the groups chairman of fondling them.Schlapp grabbed my junk and pummeled it at length, and Im sitting there thinking what the hell is going on, that this person is literally doing this to me, one staffer said in a video recorded after the incident. Another employee accused Schlapp of trying to kiss him without consent, and a third man has reported an unwanted physical advance.Without a trace of irony, Mercedes Schlapp denounced Disney for this obsession with sexuality and sex, just children in general, and then putting that in front of the children.I mean, its just sick, she ranted. Go back to storytelling, go back to the innocence of children. Thats really where they should focus on.Obviously, theyre more focused about men, Shlapp added, sputtering, and, you know, gay men and straight men. Agatha All Alongs Joe Locke, best known as smitten Charlie Spring in the hit gay teen melodrama Heartstopper, plays a gay character in the Marvel show called Teen.It was really important for Teen to be out and authentic as a queer character, Locke told SFX Magazine, but just as important that it doesnt define him.The MCU and any Marvel project has this weird ability to unite the whole world. No matter where youre from, who you are, everyone knows about the new Marvel series, the new Marvel film, which is a really great way to progress social issues in the world, he said.The cast and creators of the WandaVision spin-off, premiering tonight on Disney+, have embraced fans pre-release characterization of the show as the gayest Marvel has ever made.I would agree with that, Jennifer Kale, who plays witch Sasheer Zamata told Variety. Youll see when you watch.Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons. This show shows a really good representation of different types of people and that we can all use the power we have within to go forward and be great.
