The Addams Family Teaser Trailer Includes Queer Families
A+ for normalizing families with same-sex parents!!
An official teaser trailer for MGM and Universal Pictures' upcoming, animated The Addams Family movie was just released this week, and it's surprisingly queer-inclusive!
Towards the begining of the teaser, we see super cute sketches of a diverse array of different kinds of families, including families of color, interracial families, families with one parent, and families with same-sex parents!
"Every family is different, but some families are more different than others," a voiceover says, then introducing us to the grey-looking but iconic members of the Addams Family, including Wednesday, Morticia, and Gomez.
It's a simple, sweet gesture, but it's one that is appreciated by the fans!
\u201cGet that queer representation Addams Family\u201d— Darren (@Darren) 1554824799
\u201cThe last thing I expected to see from #TheAddamsFamily trailer was this beautiful normalisation of LGBTQ families. There's no fanfare surrounding the queer parents - They simply exist alongside the straight ones too. Love this \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 #MeetTheAddams @meettheaddams\u201d— David Opie (@David Opie) 1554815785
\u201cI love that they didn\u2019t change the story or characters just to show support for LGBT families, but included them in what an average normal family looks like. I think this is how you do it. I love it \u2764\ufe0f normalise it by incorporating and including. More love for the Addams family\u201d— Lulu \ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf19 (@Lulu \ud83c\udf1e\ud83c\udf19) 1554848860
