Making Disney Villains seem queer might sound very offensive towards homosexuals, in particular gay men, and it seems as if Disney is trying to create a metaphorical message that villains dress and act like stereotypical gay men. However, given the fact that the numbers of animators, creators and voice actors themselves are queer and take part in the creation of the film, such metaphors (e.g. “villain = queer”) might not be as what they seem, seeing how the homosexual audience’s reception of the films are, and how Disney influences their own lives. For example, every first Saturday in June, there is an event called the “Gay Days at Walt Disney World.” It started in 1991, and since then, every year, lesbians and gays gather in WDW to enjoy
In the book “ Johnny Tremain” written by Esther Forbes, the theme pride really stands out in the beginning of the book. In this book, it repeatedly shows pride as a bad thing. Pride is one of the few things in the world that isn’t just good or evil. Pride is only evil if you let it become more important than everything else.

The Northeast Conference sponsored a speaker to present to the student-athletes here at Robert Morris University.

This is important because studies show that athletes who feel accepted and important among their peers perform better in his or her particular sport.

Bear Grylls once said “ A man’s pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn to turn to others for support and guidance.” Gryll’s wise advice can be applied to nearly everyone in society.

“Pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death” (Hurst 2). This is how James Hurst describes pride in his heart-wrenching short story, “The Scarlet Ibis.” What speaks to me most about this quote is its profound truth. For the majority of people, pride is either a positive or negative thing, but what Hurst and I seem to agree about is the fact that pride can be both. It is an undeniable symptom of the human condition, a tool that can either create or destroy, and is responsible for the best and worst parts of history.

We sometimes find ourself contemplating about who we are and what do we want in our life. As a gay man I have found myself stuck in many places, this is totally normal. We all try to find that perfect life but sometimes it involves barriers. Being wrong and owning up to what you want in life makes the ride easier.
