Some YouTube channels, such as Pop’n’Olly and Queer Kid Stuff, are well-known for providing age-appropriate and entertaining LGBTQ+ educational videos, but they’re hardly movie-night fare for families. Not a single film in the kids and family genre included LGBTQ+ characters in 2022. In GLAAD’s latest survey (from 2022) of major studio film releases, only 16 of 77 theatrically released feature films included LGBTQ+ characters those who were included appeared in mostly minor roles, with less than five minutes of screen time. Parents in LGBTQ+ families don’t need to be told how little representation of gender and sexual diversity there is in media aimed at children. It was a huge leap for a major studio, but one that came decades late. Pixar’s 2020 short “Out,” now streaming on Disney+, tells the story of a grown man coming out to his parents as he’s about to move in with his partner.
