Disney+ actress comedian Margaret Cho said it’s time for a transgender
Disney Prince and Disney Princess as she promoted her latest role as an
LGBTQ guidance counselor in the network’s latest movie, “Prom Pact.”
During the 54-year-old actress’ interview with Times of India, the
LGBTQ activist described her role in the movie as “a Queer character in
the film who’s somebody that the kids look up to, which I think is
really amazing,” and said it’s “absolutely” time for a lead LGBTQ
character in a Disney movie.
“I would love to see them everywhere,” Cho said. “I would love to see
trans characters and different types of people in roles of like Disney Princess, Disney Prince and Disney everything.”
“I think this would be really important and it’s a move towards the
future,” she added. “It’s a move towards who we are. I think it’s
really admirable and really exciting.”
Comedian Margaret Cho is calling on Disney to introduce
Transgender Princes and Princess in children’s movies.

The TV-14 movie first aired on Disney Channel on March 30 and was
somewhat edited for broadcast, the outlet noted. A “slightly longer”
version of the film then streamed on Disney+ “with some more explicit dialogue,” according to IMDb.
Reading through parental reviews on Common Sense Media, the majority of
parents found there was nothing safe in the show for children to watch
with all the sexual references.
“Lots of virtue signaling. Pushes a lot of left political views onto
children in an inorganic, forceful way,” one parent wrote. “The main
character feels the need to mention sexism in almost every single line
and can’t even get behind the basic principles of prom at first like
dancing or dressing up. Protagonist is unlikable and is giving ‘I’m not
like other girls.’ There is a mention of sex at one stage in a supposed children’s movie. Stripping away the incessant need to push a political
agenda, this movie is a generic high school film with several cliches.
I would not recommend.”
Another wrote, “Don’t Bother, Sex, political correctness, & cussing.
Thought about watching this with my 12 year old but had to turn it off
within the first 10 minutes due to sexual references and political
correctness. Can’t they let kids be kids? I mean this is Disney.”
Yet another commenter noted that in just the first few minutes of the
movie, “high school boys are in a grocery store talking about sex. They actually reference putting a ‘P in a V’ (more than once!) I was shocked
that this is Disney.”
“The main character is pretty annoying, every scene she has something
to say about sexism, feminism, etc […] it’s too much,” the person
added. “Was hoping for something lighthearted to watch with my kids
since we love Zombies, Descendents, and the other Disney originals. I
am pretty lenient with what I let my kids watch and find myself on the
more liberal side of things, but this was a lot…”
