'Finding Dory' Trailer Hints Of First Disney Movie Lesbian Couple? The Whole Truth About This Buzz

There's a buzz involving Disney and Pixar's "Finding Dory" after a recent teaser release. Curious film lovers are saying that the film, which will be coming to theaters June 17, hints of a lesbian couple. If true, this would make them a first in a Disney movie. But just who are these characters and will they impact the upcoming animated film? What's the whole truth behind this buzz?

The "Finding Dory" teaser, which was posted via TheEllenShow on Youtube, has already received over 3 million views since its release May 24. At the 1:07 mark of the clip, fans took note of two women with a baby. One of them has short hair, which prompted some to believe that they were Disney's first lesbian couple on film.

According to The Wrap, it's still unclear how important the alleged lesbian couple are to the story of "Finding Dory." Disney has yet to respond about the fuss, but fans are already buying the idea.

Salon reports that viewers of the teaser might be too quick to assess that the characters are lesbians or a lesbian couple. However, this is not surprising since there has been a growing support from LGBT advocates into pushing Disney to have gay characters in their kids' movies.

The problem is that the teaser's narrative isn't indicative of the whole story. But viewers choose to believe what they want to believe. In this case, they believe that what they saw from the teaser is the first lesbian couple in a Disney movie, despite no clear indication of the character's roles.

The Guardian suggests that the whole big deal might not even be a big deal, despite what the teaser has hinted. However, both news outlets state the obvious: that people do want to see Disney acknowledge gay characters in the mainstream. This is the reason why there's a growing fan campaign to #GiveElsaAGirlfriend on "Frozen," another Disney movie. This is also the reason why the "Finding Dory" teaser drew such strong buzz.
