is minnie just a beard?

Walt must be turning over in his grave. According to a new book by Sean Griffin, amusingly titled "Tinker Belles and Evil Queens: The Walt Disney Company from the Inside Out," there's a long connection between gay images and issues and the creators of the Magic Kingdom. Salon.com queried Griffin on topics including the use of the term "Mickey Mouse" as queer code, the subversive messages in films like "Ferdinand the Bull," and the seminal role of openly gay lyricist Hal Ashman. This is a great read for pop-culture aficionados, so hop over to the URL above for more.
