If you thought LGBT icons were just for human figures like Lady Gaga, Madonna. and Arianna Grande, then think again!

  In the movie, the Babadook is a monster that haunts the house of a widow and her 6-year-old son. The father died in a car accident while the mother was in labor, and his death hangs over the family. The son acts out in school, and the mom is beleaguered. At some point, he asks his mom to read this new pop-up book called Mister Babadookthat mysteriously appears out of nowhere. That brings in the monster.

Now, a boring heterosexual’s interpretation ofThe Babadook is that the monster is a devastating manifestation of grief: Even as we learn to survive traumatic loss, it lives on as a part of us. Meanwhile, gay Twitter and Tumblr advanced a much more elegant theory of the Babadook, which is that he’s a gay man.

The worst part is that people are saying that the babadook is only a gay icon because white gay men like babadook's drawings because it's "reminisint of racist cartoons from history".

Like, really?
