‘Rugrats: Totally Angelica’

[PS1] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [2001]

Here’s a personal anecdote from my childhood: Rugrats was a show that I wasn’t allowed to watch growing up because my parents thought Angelica Pickles, the show’s big brat character, would be a bad influence on me.

She has appeared at gay pride events such as the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.” ~Wikipedia

Just… writing that down.

I Don’t Dance was a revolutionary gay anthem because it not only showed Ryan (a camp and out gay) trying to convince Chad (a macho bisexual trapped in his ideas of masculinity) that liking guys isn’t wrong or feminine in an epic baseball dance number, but also showed a flirty and real relationship filled with sexual tension that is far more accurate to young queer relationships than many of straight-appropriate watered down versions of queer relationships that we see in modern media today. In this essay I will
