Is barney the dinosaur gay

The original concept was pretty different, but changed, as Leach detailed to the Austin American-Statesman in “Originally Barney was a snuggly teddy bear, but my son, Patrick, was fascinated with dinosaurs, so Barney became a dinosaur. But he’s not ferocious. He was designed with boys and girls in mind. He’s always smiling.”.

We can spend hours debating whether or not Barnie is gay, as young children have been doing since the early s. But look: the guy is a purple dinosaur.
