Gay Pride In My GSA

166 Words1 Page

Gay pride. That’s the type of pride I have in my GSA (Gay-Straight alliance). A suitable metaphor would be that little shop around the corner in your neighborhood, the new family business that just sprung up out of nowhere, charming and inviting, and most of all accepting. That’s what our GSA is, it provides a safe place for everyone, because it is needed. Our GSA has a handful of members, and of course one advisor.

However, given the fact that the numbers of animators, creators and voice actors themselves are queer and take part in the creation of the film, such metaphors (e.g. “villain = queer”) might not be as what they seem, seeing how the homosexual audience’s reception of the films are, and how Disney influences their own lives. For example, every first Saturday in June, there is an event called the “Gay Days at Walt Disney World.” It started in 1991, and since then, every year, lesbians and gays gather in WDW to enjoy

This is how James Hurst describes pride in his heart-wrenching short story, “The Scarlet Ibis.” What speaks to me most about this quote is its profound truth.

It is an undeniable symptom of the human condition, a tool that can either create or destroy, and is responsible for the best and worst parts of history.
