This month, Disney+ released a musical comedy aimed at pre-teens titled Better Nate Than Ever. The movie features 13-year-old Nate (Rueby Wood) who is upset about losing the audition for his high school musical and who goes on a trip to New York City with dreams of winning a part in a Broadway play.

While the movie never affixes the label of "gay" to its young star, according to the Daily Beast, the movie is an homage to every gay kid who loves stage plays and musicals.

"Better Nate Than Ever, which just may be the most gay-positive and encouraging youth programming that Disney has ever released," the Beast reported on Friday.

Rueby Wood, the film's 15-year-old star, is frequently seen in gender-bending garb. At the film's premier, he wore a black frock festooned with a colorful rock necklace, fruit-tart finger rings, and colorful, long fake fingernails.

The Daily Beast gushed over the gayness of the film.

"The film, in the most beautiful sign of progress and the greatest compliment I can give, is something I desperately wish I had when I was growing up," the site enthused. "It's a love letter to kids—to theater kids, and most specifically theater kids who were made to feel shy or ashamed about who they were and how they acted, and who probably, almost 100 percent of the time, grew up to be gay."
