Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is always down for a DCOM.
This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Olive Okoro (@digital.olive), content creator and founder of the nonprofit organization Queer Motherland (@queermotherland), to talk about why the 2009 Disney Channel Original Movie, Princess Protection Program, Should’ve Been Gay. We would argue that all DCOMs are queer culture, but it was PPP specifically that served as a queer awakening for baby gay Olive.
In Princess Protection Program, Princess Rosalinda (Demi Lovato) is just about to be crowned Queen when her coronation is attacked, triggering a rescue by an elite protection agency. Now disguised as ordinary American teen Rosie, she is sent to live with the agent who rescued her and his tomboy daughter Carter (Selena Gomez). Carter and Rosie’s enemies-to-lovers dynamic grows as the girls are forced to share their lives and Carter’s bedroom. Unfortunately for us, instead of leaning into Cosie and the ‘and they were roommates’ of it all, we get totally unnecessary high school boy drama.
We know one thing for sure, Disney’s Princess Protection Program Should’ve Been Gay.
