The Bible, Bisexuality, and Disney’s First Bi-sexual Character
Earlier this week, I came across a YouTuber’s video entitled, “A Christian’s response to Disney debuting first bi-sexual lead character,” which led me down a YouTube rabbit hole of watching and listening to opinions about the bi-sexual collective that does not yet exist in primetime, but surely exists in the corners of social media (if you are bi, heed my warning and do not go down this YouTube rabbit hole).
I did not know what to expect when I clicked the YouTuber’s video, which had nearly 10,000 views and a 50/50 split of likes to dislikes. I figured I would approach the video with openness to practice my therapeutic goals of “leaning into triggers” and “practicing neutrality,” and just because I was bored.
The YouTuber appears on screen in a well-lit room with the word Revive written in neon letters in the background. The speaker seems pleasant; she is wearing light pastel makeup and is sitting on a white sofa next to a plant with a joyful Labrador Retriever on her lap. The video opens quickly, with an animated YouTuber stating, “We are literally glorifying sin on TV.” She continues, “They’ve already got the adults, now they’re going after the kids.”
