Disney's first openly gay character sounds like it might be a massive stereotype

Plus he's being played by a straight comedian that I'm told does a similar kind of routine in his shows. Needless to say, people are not happy.

A row has broken out on social media after reports that Jack Whitehall will play the first major openly gay character in a Disney film.

Whitehall announced on Instagram that he was working on Jungle Cruise, a film based on the Disney theme park ride of the same name, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. Whitehall is to play the brother of Blunt’s character, and according to a report in the Sun, “he is playing a gay man – one who is hugely effete, very camp and very funny”.

I have no idea what Disney thinks they're accomplishing with this. They're literally going to please no one - the "moral majority" types will still protest it, and progressives and LGBTQ people will hate it too.
