This Christmas, we’ll all be watching The Color Purple. Starring Fantasia Barrino as Celie and Colman Domingo as Mister, the upcoming movie musical is the adaptation of Alice Walker's 1982 novel of the same name. However, there is one aspect of the story that fans have been hoping will be prominently featured in the new movie and that is the lesbian love story between Celie and blues singer Shug Avery (Henson), which was present in the book but was relegated to subtext in the 1985 film. Screenwriter Marcus Gardley, who is queer, said that the queer romance was significant to his vision for the film. Gardley feels that Shug is bisexual, and Celie, despite being married to a man, is a lesbian.
