Just a little over halfway through Pride Month, we are seeing people flock to Twitter to present their theories on why and how the lead duo in Disney and Pixar’s latest coming-of-age animated feature film, Luca, is, in fact, gay.
On the Italian Riviera, an unlikely but strong friendship grows between a human being as they share adventures, laughs, and challenges whilst trying to blend in on land, all the while hiding the fact that they are actually fish-like creatures who dwell under the sea.
HOWEVER! While Disney has not come on the record saying that Luca and Alberto are gay, we believe that the great minds at Pixar may have meant for the movie’s plot to be an overall metaphor for gayness and acceptance.
In addition to this, Luca and Alberto just generally have an adorable relationship full of acceptance, support, and genuine affection for one another that could very easily be the beginnings of the age-old friends to lovers trope we all know and love.
