Honestly, I’ve felt uneasy about the queerness throughout for all the reasons outlined above, but seeing a Trans Lives Matter flag in Billy’s room, given all that, felt like a delightful punch in the face. I would have thought the one thing Disney wouldn’t do would put a main character’s endorsement of a painfully current and relevant political sentiment. As a trans person, I was kinda resigned to us just being too ‘complicated’ to be supported in even such a fleeting, ephemeral way. More than anything, that moment made me *feel* that Jac Schaeffer genuinely cared about the queerness of the story (as opposed to just hoping she did).
Seeing the Trans Lives Matter flag in Billy's room last night just warmed my elderly bisexual heart. But I completely missed that the Agatha/Rio kiss was the MCU's first lesbian kiss because, come on, it's 2024. It surely must have happened already and I just missed it. (Apparently not.) Now I'm wondering if it still counts as 'bury your gays' if one of the lesbian kissers is actually Death.
