I'm Sorry, But "Luca" Is Totally A Gay Movie, And These 18 Tweets Prove It
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Disney released Luca on Disney+ this past week, and to be completely honest with you, I have never felt so seen in animated children's movie form in my life.
Ever since the trailer was released, members of the LGBTQ community have said the story *felt* queer-coded.
After watching the movie myself, I took to my Twitter to tweet my own feelings:
Well, just saw Luca and 😭 Can you even imagine growing up with a movie like that? Whew.
And a few gays asked me:
@mattstopera Is it gay
To which I say, yes, totally 1,000%. Luca is a gay movie.
1.I don't care that the director of the movie said it wasn't, this is how I feel!
i know gay when i see gay #Luca
2.And I'm not the only one.
Yes I loved Luca, yes I cried, and yes it is very gay #Luca
3.From people saying the movie is "queer AF."
#Luca is top-tier Pixar and it’s queer AF 🌈
4.To others saying "Luca's unapologetically gay subtext is evident."
Luca’s unapologetically gay subtext is evident and I absolutely adored it!
5.This movie is 1,000% a metaphor for the growing up gay experience.
I'm just sitting here after watching #Luca unable to stop thinking about how it was a metaphor for being gay. "Not everyone is going to accept him, but he seems good at finding those that will." Loved it cause it's a #Pixar movie and not a dumb sequel.
6.Personally, I felt this tweet especially hard:
Just saw Luca, & I don’t care what anyone else says, it’s the first gay animated film by Disney/Pixar. Feeling like you have to hide a part of yourself, meeting someone like you 4 the first time, strangers calling you and your “friend” monsters, finding the good ones. I cried. ❤️
7.People are calling it Pixar's first "queer coming-of-age movie."
#luca is pixar's first queer coming-of-age movie no one can tell me it's not
8.From the old nonnas...
historians: and they were roommates #luca
9....the "weird" friend group vibe...
watching luca and giulia saying all three of them "dress weird" when they collectively look like a gay friend group in 2021................ ok
10....to the last scene. That last scene!!!!
The scene The audience#Luca
11.Also just, like, they released it during Pride? Very appropriate!
they deserve the best pride month #Luca
12.I don't care if you disagree, because I've never seen a movie like this before.
me: we need to normalize platonic male affection!!also me, watching Luca: gay? the boys are in love?? queer coded??? they're precious and perfect oh my god????
13.There's a resounding "I wish I had this film while I was growing up" sentiment going around.
Crying joyful gay tears for all the confused LGBTQ+ kids who will watch Pixar's LUCA and have their inner world validated. I wish I had this film while I was growing up.
14.Because if I had a movie like Luca growing up, it definitely would have made a difference.
I feel like Luca will make a lasting impression on the LGBTQ community because even though the characters weren’t stated gay it clearly draws on many experiences that gays face in adolescence and even after speaking as a 19-year-old out guy I could relate to it #Luca #PixarLuca
15.So yeah, go watch Luca, especially if you're gay.
gays talking about luca
16.It's one of the most heartwarming movies I've seen.
luca spoilers.......alberto and luca not being able to let go of each others hands is the most heart breaking thing omfg i love gays#lucamovie
17.And I never thought gay fish would make me cry so hard.
Luca got me crying over gay fish at 3am 😭🌈
18.The end.
the gay agenda always wins #luca was so good
