On a scale of one to gay, Disney's made-for-TV High School Musical was off the freaking charts. The gay subtext, conveniently ignored by mainstream America, smacked every homosexual in the head who happened to be within the vicinity of the movie. The high school basketball star wants to sing and dance and asks his macho father, "Did you ever think about trying something new, but were afraid of what your friends might think?" Puh-leeze. Here's a bottle of lube and a copy of Inches Magazine -- embrace who you are, son. (A shockingly in-depth dissection of the movie's gay undertones can be found on my BAMBOO NATION blog.)
A DVD, a CD, a concert tour, an ice show, tons of merchandise, and $600 million in revenue later, the even-cheesier-than-the-first sequel has just premiered on the Disney Channel, and it will likely play over and over again until the end of time (December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan calendar), much to the satisfaction of tweenyboppers everywhere. The phenomenon is marketed expressly to 13-year-old girls, and, by default, to gay men, since most of them feel like there's a 13-year-old girl trapped inside their bodies.
