Has Disney ever had a gay prince? No they have not. To all John Barrowman fans wouldnt you love to see John as the first gay disney prince? It would be a live action movie like enchanted but with an older cast and involve him singing a couple of songs. It would also show that people can find true love no matter who you are, who you love or your age. Its shows true love is not just for younger straight people. It also will be giving the LGBT commubity consideration. This would all work as long as he gets to be himself and not the American steryotype for gays as he dosnt like that.

Much as I love John Barrowman, I don't think this petition needs to be geared specifically towards him - it would be enough to simply ask Disney to produce a movie which includes a gay prince, or indeed a lesbian princess. It has nothing to do with pushing sexual agenda onto children - if anything, it's about encouraging them to be comfortable with themselves, and letting any of them who grow up to be LGBT know that there's nothing wrong with their identity. Estimates of how many people are LGBT range from 1 in 10 to 1 in 25 - either way, Disney have made more than enough films that it's starting to get unrealistic that so few characters have been (openly) LGBT. (Shout out to Disney for the background gay couple in Frozen!)

It's about time that there was a gay Disney pairing, and who better to play the part than the ever stunning John Barrowman?

If disney can empower women with equal rights, why cant a gay man be afforded the same equality?

I'm not sure the Disney Co. is ready for this but I think the world is ready for it! It would take a great script to succeed. Nothing sappy or stupid.

Let's get LGBTQA (and pansexual and genderfluid and more) into the world of Disney and show the world that this is who people are and that is perfectly okay.

John would make a brilliant prince and I fail to see why Disney hasn't had a gay prince yet. Get your act together Disney
