Winnie the Pooh, the beloved animated bear that has delighted children worldwide, has been banned from a playground in Tuszyn, Poland, because the city council there believes the bear is either. Last night in a bunch of articles ranging from other Disney Blogs to the Huffington Post announced that Winnie the Pooh is in fact a girl bear. And people are loosing it. Kind of like the whole Starbucks cup thing.
Winnie The Pooh is a boy, right? A.A. Milne, Disney and voiceover artist Sterling Holloway have had us believe so over the years. But thanks to a children’s story book, there is a confusion. The straights never bothered me anyway. Note: This is all in good fun, and people should only come out when they feel comfortable, safe, and ready. Ok, let's start with a softball that's not a lesbian joke I swear!!
Most coiners of nonbinary pronouns toiled in obscurity, but Milne was a well-known literary figure, and today, discussions of nonbinary pronouns often repeat a truncated version of his comments from The Birthday Book because everybody knows Winnie the Pooh. In Paul Monette's book "Last Watch of the Night", as he is walking through a graveyard, he searches the gravestones for "stray quotation[s] from Hamlet or Pooh". The suggestion is that this is a signal that the people buried thare are gay, and that there is some link between gays and Winnie the Pooh. Searching Google provides enough denial and tasteless jokes about it to prove to me that there is something to the statement that gays have an affinity towards Pooh.
LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space. Three years ago, our very own Thea received a phone call from a friend. She accepted the call. She lifted the phone to her ear.
