Anne with an E is a series on Netflix. It's about a girl named Anne (obviously) who is an orphan. She gets adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert . It follows her life at college, with her family, with her friends... and shows some very struggling and happy moments of all their lives in the town of Green Gables.
(It's based off the book "Anne of Green Gables")
So I binge watched season two of Anne with an E recently and it was AMAZING. Today I wanted to talk about the LGBTQ+ characters of the show.
In season one I had some suspicions that some characters in the show were LGBTQ, but on season two it was a topic that was openly discussed. Not only that but they also touched more on the topics of racism and sexism during this recent season.
So let's begin! Shall we?

I just finished watching the first two season’s of Netflix’s Anne with an E. And I very much have thoughts.
First, I am a massive fan of the original Anne novels. I started reading them in high school, and I regard them as old friends. I’m also conscious that AwaE used the first novel as a jumping off aim , and was not intended to be a precise dramatization. Megan Fellows and Colleen Dewhurst already did a flawless job; no necessitate to do it again.
Although, I contain to say, the first few scenes were pretty much taken directly from the book, and there were other instances like that throughout the series. It’s more a retelling than anything else. Which is fine.
The costuming is amazing – I adore the knitwear, and Marilla’s leather belt, although it itself is completely anachronistic and seems to serve no purpose but to emphasize Marilla’s angles. Unlike Dewhurst, this Marilla is as tall, thin and spare as she’s described in the book.
I like how they’ve introduced issues that are still with us today and certainly were then, but were entirely unaddressed in the novel – racism, homophobia and the like, and that they were very careful with the language. That last is anachronistic, but rea
Anne With An E: 9 Things About Cole That You Missed
Things inAnne With An E got shaken up a little with the advent of season two. Up until this point, Anne was the main—often, the only—trail-blazer of the show, especially when it came to the children characters. But then Cole Mackenzie came along and added a whole new world of color.

Cole adds to the misfit theme of the entertainment, but without being redundant or cliche. Cole is the more soft, subdued complement to Anne's wildfire approach to life, providing the opportunity for new ethics dynamics and perspectives. There is much to appreciate about Cole, especially things that might not be immediately apparent to the viewer.
He's The First Homosexual Character In The Show
While Cole isn't technically the first queer character to be seen on the show—both the university teacher and Aunt Jo contain made appearances—he is the first to be indicated as such. Cole stands out from the other kids at school, and, when prompted to kiss a girl in a game, he refuses. He only kisses Anne in form of solidarity, as there is clearly no love affair betwee
I always liked the titular main character in Anne of Green Gables. But the CBC’s Anne with an E made me love her.
As a kid, I watched the mid-’80s screen adaptations, and I’m sure Anne’s creative soul inspired me to grow a writer. I hold gleefully visited the real-life Green Gables on Prince Edward Island more than once. I even maintain some cherished hardcover versions of the novels, but, I have to confess, I haven’t read them all. Truth be told, growing up, I was more of an Emily of New Moon girlie. After all, as Natasha Lyonne’s character in Russian Doll puts it: “Everybody loves Anne, but I like Emily. She’s dark.”
Though Anne has a tragic backstory just like Emily, the Green Gables main character is keen to find the best in people. She falls deeply in love with just about everything around her: P.E.I’s landscapes, the giant words she learns in school and her optimal friends. I liked Anne, but for the cynical among us, the usual emphasis on her sunny outlook can be a little tedious. So when I heard that Anne with an E, the CBC’s adaptation of the story, did something diverse, I was intrigued.
“It’s the only Anne that doesn’t make me roll my eyes,” my fr
