Of course, an actor’s sexuality doesn’t dictate what kind of characters they can play and just because McKinnon is gay doesn’t mean her Barbie is. Before being on SNL, she starred in The Big Gay Sketch Show and she has a very public long-time crush on Gillian Anderson.

In 2020, while presenting Ellen DeGeneres with an award at the Golden Globes she thanked her for making it less scary to accept her sexuality and helping her feel like she wasn’t an alien. So why is this so gay? Let’s break down and unpack the evidence that Gerwig and the team made a series of seriously lesbian-coded creative choices. Margot Robbie’s Barbie first tries to choose the heels, but Kate McKinnon’s Barbie says she “has to want to know” and then we cut straight into a scene of Margot Robbie’s Barbie driving in her car singing her heart out to “Closer to Fine” before Ken pops out of the backseat and sings along too. Kate McKinnon’s Barbie then presents Margot Robbie’s Barbie with a Matrix-esque red pill/blue pill scenario: she can pick the classy, rhinestone baby-pink heels and “go back to her regular life” or she can pick the mocha-brown Arizona Birkenstocks and “know the truth about the universe”. The opening strums of the Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine” kick in as Margot Robbie’s Barbie arrives at the doorstep of Kate McKinnon’s Barbie. Yesterday, the new trailer for Greta Gerwig ’s hotly-anticipated Barbie movie was released and it’s an absolute pepto bismol-hued romp, filled with camp cowboy outfits, top-tier acting from Ryan Gosling and some quite unsubtle hints that Barbie is gay. The white represents neutrality.Barbie is a lesbian. The green is the contrast of lavender, representing anyone outside of the typical gender norms.

The purple circle in the center represents completeness. The Organisation Intersex International Australia created the flag in 2013 to represent the group with the color yellow, which represents neither male nor female. Intersex people comprise of just over 1 percent of the U.S. Intersex is a term for people born with differences in their genitals that don’t conform to the medical definitions of male and female. Their flag is a spectrum of reds and purples with a lipstick stain in the upper left hand corner. Finally, the color purple symbolizes the community bond between all branches of the LGBT community.Ī “lipstick” lesbian is a term for women who identify as lesbian and choose to express their gender in a feminine way - including wearing lipstick, high heels and stylish hairstyles. Black’s counter, the white stripe, represents non-asexual allies, while the gray represents the space between sexuality and asexuality. In 2010, the Asexual Visibility and Education Network asked members of their community to design a flag for the group. The blue stripe represents those who identify as male, the pink is for those who identify as female, the yellow for anyone who doesn’t fit the standard gender binary, including those who identify as genderqueer.Īsexuality means no or low interest in sexual attraction. Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual attraction regardless of gender identity or biological gender. The colors of the flag represent male and female genders and everything in between, including intersex and those who are transitioning. With a total of five horizontal stripes, the flag consists of two pink, two blue and a single white stripe in the middle. It was first flown in a pride parade a year later in Phoenix, Arizona. Monica Helms, a transgender woman, created the flag in 1999. Other interpretations view the magenta and blue stripes as attraction to women and men respectively, and the indigo as an attraction to both.

Some believe the magenta represents homosexual attraction and blue heterosexual attraction, with the indigo representing the middle ground of a blend between both types of attraction. He borrowed the colors of pink and blue from two interlocking triangles that came to represent the bisexual community and incorporated the indigo’s harmony. Michael Page introduced the the bisexual pride flag in 1998 to celebrate members of the LGBT community that are attracted to both men and women.
