The Child's Play franchise has always been inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community, with representation from queer characters and appearances by LGBTQ+ icons.
Chucky's new caretaker, Jake, is a young gay man who faces homophobia at home and school, leading Chucky to use the murders as a form of justice for the discrimination Jake has experienced.
The creator of the franchise, Don Mancini, considers Chucky to be a supportive character for the LGBTQ+ community and discusses other horror characters who could also represent the community, including Michael Myers and Hannibal.
