Love seeing the new generation find out how, well, gay "Wicked" is.

Closeted high femme dressed as the lesbian flag not getting on her rebellious activist bestie's broom and regretting it for the rest of her conformist life.

i never read the wicked book but i was already interpreting the birth scene as an intersex allegory (the reaction literally being "take it away" fucking HURTS) and then my partner told me that elphaba is canonically intersex in the book....god dont mind me just bursting into tears whenever no one mourns the wicked plays

I want people who watched the stage show/movie version of Wicked and went "oh this is kinda gay" to know that the queer themes of the musical are:

Put there on purpose. The stage show had multiple queer people involved in adapting the novel to the stage.

Steeped in the context of early 2000s American politics. This show debuted two years after 9/11 and is loaded with Bush-era social commentary.

Less prominent than they are in the book, which was written by a queer man and contains explicitly queer characters with zero ambiguity. Elphaba is bisexual and intersex. She and Glinda share a bed and a kiss in the Emerald City. Elphaba's father is bisexual, and both her parents are in a tragic doomed polycule with a man who acts as a third parent to Elphie until everything goes to hell. The book is fundamentally a queer narrative. If you watched the musical and thought, "I really wish this was a little more gay," read the book. It's very different than the musical, but if you are desperate for Explicitly Queer Wicked Content, go read it.

Elphaba Thropp was canonically born with ambiguous genitals in the original Wicked novel, and assigned female after an inspection by the midwife. This didn't make it into the musical version, but it is very much a thing in the book.

I've seen a few "Elphie is trans-coded" posts, and as a trans intersex person, I just wanted to remind folks that she is intersex in the source material. The book's prologue includes blatant speculation about her gender from other characters, and she gets called the intersexist h-slur.

Elphaba Thropp is intersex. 💛💜💛

aaaaaa the thing about wicked is that it’s about being queer and it’s about being nonwhite and it’s about being disabled and it’s about being intersex and it’s about literally anything Othered. what is being green a metaphor for? idk man pick what society has made you feel out of place for. it’s about that

The canon lgbt+ character of today is:

Elphaba Thorpp from Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West who is bisexual

They are correct and should say it louder.

German lesbian can't stop talking about how cool her girlfriend is to this random customer service guy. Duolingo is really giving me the representation we all deserve truly

[Translation:

- What does she look like?

- Hmm... She's tall, she has dark hair.

- Okay

- She loves sport and plays guitar...

- Uh

- She has a motorbike - but she always drives too fast]

Also as this conversation continues the voice actor for the dude gets more tired and Bea gets increasingly wistful which is just cute tbh
