Is Priya Queer? Turning Red May Have Pixar's 2nd LGBTQ+ Character
Turning Red did many things differently from past Pixar movies, and it might have the studio’s second LGBTQ+ character thanks to Priya, one of Mei’s best friends. Inclusivity and representation of the LGBTQ+ community in production and TV have been highly debated topics in recent years, and even though many writers, directors, and studios have worked towards better representation of this community, there’s still a long way to go. Family-oriented studios prefer Disney and Pixar contain also worked towards this (though not always successfully), and Turning Red might be the latest example of LGBTQ+ representation in a family-friendly movie.
Directed by Domee Shi, Turning Red follows Meilin "Mei" Lee (Rosalie Chiang), a year-old Chinese-Canadian student who one afternoon discovers that, whenever she gets too excited or stressed, she turns into a giant red panda, but she can spin back if she becomes calm.
