From Ursula and Drag Queens, to Ethan Clade and Gay Teens, and All the Queerness In Between!
<p>Roundtable Discussion About Representation For Queer Stories In Media For Pride Month, some of the Incluvie movie critics sat down to talk about a variety of topics concerning on-screen queer visibility in movies and television. So many fantastic movie rec gems hidden in this video! We examine the storied cinematic and theatrical history of drag, from Shakespearean times all the way to the influence the art form had on Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of Ursula in the recent live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. We discuss how gender-bending storylines serve a layered purpose - films like Mrs. Doubtfire use drag as a vehicle for comedy, while films like Yentl provide important nuanced visibility for those questioning their gender identity. We highlight the uptick in queer creatives telling their own stories, hailing Elliot Page and Mae Martin as shining examples of artists who have taken agency over how their journey is explored on-screen. And, last but not least, we laud the positive ways in which media directed to kids and teens has embraced LGBTQIA+ characters and storylines in recent years. Fun fact: The original Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen was completely queer coded, in addition to Ursula and drag. The famous author was gay, and the Little Mermaid living in the water represented how he was separated from a whole community, and becoming human represented transformation.

We hope this conversation provides some insight and lets you know that you are valid :)</p>
