Yes, indeed, happy UK LGBT History Month! In this first episode of February \'15, Mike and Emily delve into what they could find of LGBT people and happenings in Disney history. It\'s not a huge spoiler to say that there wasn\'t that much to be found - but we think we got a fantastic episode out of quite paltry research results.
