Скачать или смотреть Homosexuality in Pre-Codes: Cartoons

By far, the most requested subject I’m asked to showcase in my pre-Code videos is the representation of homosexuals. The term "sissy" referred to a specific male stock character used primarily for comic relief, characterized by effeminate traits, a high-pitched voice, and fastidious, nervous, or prissy behavior. In both live action and animation, this character was a coded representation and caricature of a homosexual man, without explicitly stating the character was gay.

The term “sissy” comes from a variety of books and documentaries on the subject, and, like the video itself, is not intended to offend.
