The movie features an openly gay character named Ethan and explores a romantic side plot between Ethan and his crush, Diazo.to defend her choice, stating that she selected the film because it aligned with the class’s curriculum, which currently focuses on ecosystems. While she emphasized that the LGBTQ+ element was not the primary reason for showing the movie, she described it as “harmless.
