Artist Wants to Show That Love Conquers All by Drawing Disney Characters as Same-Sex Couples
A bit different happy endings...
Disney characters usually get fairy-tale endings, but one artist decided to redraw them with a very different kind of happily ever after. José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros, an artist from Mazatlán, Mexico, uses his illustrations to show love in ways that go beyond gender and old-fashioned expectations.
His series pairs familiar characters as same-sex couples, turning classic stories into playful, unexpected scenes. The result is colorful, bold, and meant to challenge the idea that only one kind of love belongs in fairy tales.
And once you start looking through the series, the alternate endings get harder to ignore.

José's drawings are inspired by Pop Art and Lowbrow Art. His newest project, called "Dramaholics," demonstrates the power of love by portraying both heterosexual and homosexual couples. Perhaps this series will inspire Disney executives, and we could finally see a character who identifies as LGBTQ+ or even same-sex couples in the movies?
Love triangles get messy fast too, like the AITA post about confessing a crush to your best friend’s sister.
