Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5 is prompting online debate over whether the film includes an LGBTQ+ wedding. In an opening scene, Forky marries Karen Beverly, a DIY toy introduced in Toy Story 4. The discussion centers on the ceremony referring to the pair as “husband and knife” instead of “husband and wife.” According to Erik Hall of The Telegraph, the wording suggests Karen Beverly is gender neutral, making the wedding queer. However, many fans have disputed that interpretation, saying they “did not see an LGBTQ+ wedding.” Disney and Pixar have not described the wedding as LGBTQ+, leaving the scene open to audience interpretation. Toy Story 5 is now playing in theaters.
