When asked by Attitude magazine if Ryan Gosling‘s Ken is gay [start at 2:35 mark] and if the film is inclusive in this particular respect, Barbie star-producer Margot Robbie answers with a flabbergasting sidestep**:
“It is but they are all dolls…so they don’t actually have sexual orientations because they don’t have any organs or reproductive organs.”
Due respect, but that’s a dishonest reply. Ken is as gay as Liberace or William S. Burroughs ever were, and probably more so.
“They’re Kenning all over each other.” — Ryan Gosling.
“Ken Has Always Been Gay,” posted on 6.16.22.
** “Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don’t.
I’ve come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step,
cut a little swathe and lead the people on.”
