ALT Disney isn’t the only one abandoning LGBTQ+ representation. According to Denzel Washington, a same-sex kiss was cut from Gladiator II. There’s a possibility it was cut for other reasons – flow, time, whatever – but the timing doesn’t feel great. Then you have the long downfall of HBO over the past several years, where popular queer content like Our Flag Means Death are cancelled, or gets shoved away in a vault never to see the light of day, like Batgirl. Netflix similarly axed Dead Boy Detectives. Add all these incidents together and a pattern starts to emerge. The entertainment industry is shifting rightward, abandoning the progress it’s made towards representing LGBTQ+ identities on screen, and shoving us in a closet (or a vault, sometimes). The entertainment companies that make these decisions don’t see supporting us as good business anymore.
