There aren’t many queer-themed animated series, but McTucky Fried High has great success with its first season. That’s perhaps surprising considering the premise is a little odd, as it’s about a school where all the students are bits of food, a lot of which are LGBT.
Now it’s back with the first episode of Season 2, which you can watch below. In this episode its time for a lesson in gender politics, with McTucky’s gay football player learning that just because he’s male, it doesn’t mean he’s inherently better than females who play the game.
Creator, Director and Executive Producer Robert-Carnilius uses his own life, creative passions and community involvement as inspiration in hopes of generating an entertaining, insightful and humorous cartoon. The McTucky Fried High cast and crew are also comprised predominantly of LGBTQ people and people of color, going beyond visibility by using personal empowerment to shape and create media that has a personal, political and artistic impact.
And if you need to catch up, you can watch the first season over as the show’s website.
