WATCH: Is Riley From Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ Queer?

Inside Out 2

Is there… another gay in town?

Disney Pixar has just released the latest trailer for the sequel of the smash hit animated film ‘Inside Out’ and some of our brothers and sisters in the community might have a few thoughts about it.

The newly released trailer for the sequel introduces us to the main character Riley, who has gotten older and more complex. This makes her emotions— Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust— have a hard time keeping up with her. As Riley starts high school, she starts to experience new emotions: Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment. As Riley starts to learn how to be a teenager, thus she starts crushing on the coolest girl in school, Valentina “Val” Ortiz.

The question, though, is whether Riley’s crush on Val is platonic or romantic.

Fans were quick to hype the trailer and rejoiced at the possibility of Riley being queer. Notably, this is not the first time viewers theorized that Riley might be genderfluid with people noticing that Riley’s parents’ emotions are the same gender as themselves while Riley has a mix of gendered emotions.

“The post-credits scene is a reveal of Riley’s newest emotion…bisexuality,” a user wrote.

“Not Riley’s lesbian ass leaving her BFFs for a chick with dyed hair and pronouns,” one quipped.

Some, though, were iffy thanks to Disney’s history of unimpressive LGBTQ stories and characters.

“I’m so proud for Disney… they’re going to include [a] rainbow pin on her backpack, visible for exactly two whole seconds,” one person wrote sarcastically.

Will Disney finally pull through and give the gays some good representation? We’ll find out soon enough.

‘Inside Out 2’ comes out in theaters on June 14.
