When Merida runs away from home after a fight with her mother, and follows the wisps to the witch's hut, the witch takes the medallion of clan DunBroch as payment for a spell to "change her mother". Though they give the princess and the queen time to escape on horseback, Mor'du shows no fear nor vulnerability to them. Later, it is revealed that Fergus had his leg eaten, thus beginning his fierce rivalry with the demon bear. After she returns to her parents, Mor'du attacks and Fergus with his household guard rushes to defend his wife and child. From the undergrowth, it is suggested that Mor'du is watching her. Many wisps appear and try to lead her with them. Mor'du first appears in the film's prologue, when Merida, daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor, fires an arrow off into the woods and goes to get it back.
Mor'du lived on for centuries, and the bear side of him overtook his humanity, making him a monstrous beast. The spell he received eventually transformed him into a bear, and he murdered his family, causing the fall of the kingdom. However, Mor'du was not always a bear he was originally a human prince, who wanted to rule the kingdom he shared with his three brothers alone, and went to a witch to gain "the strength of ten men" in order to take over the land, paying with the ring of his house, which bore the crest of his family, two crossed axes. Mor'du as a human prince before he became a bear. One of the Production Designers of the film, Steve Pilcher, calls Mor'du a "Demon bear" and "Moby Dick on land". His body is covered in scars, broken weapon hilts, and arrows. And when you need that little extra boost of confidence, music’s got your back.A legendary monster, Mor'du is an over 13-foot-tall bear with huge claws, a misaligned jaw, and long, sharp teeth. Regressive, fear-based tactics are being used to disenfranchise and silence the LGBTQ+ community, which makes living our truth as important as it’s ever been. As you browse the selections on this list, check out what actions you can take against the anti-LGBTQ+ bills in legislatures across the country. To keep this countdown diverse, artists were only allowed one song on this list, and it is still growing and changing as our fight continues.
Besides the best-known songs that are essential to a list like this, we wish to highlight the queer musicians who deserve a spotlight, too.
There are Billboard Hot 100-topping sensations and hidden gems that are forgotten or yet to be discovered instant classics and songs that grew to be our community’s favorites. There are introspective slow jams by queer artists and allies that mirror our struggles with self-acceptance and social rejection. You will see many overlaps between this list and some of the best house and disco tracks that were blasted in the ballrooms, as well as transformative hits by our beloved big-voiced divas. While it’s impossible to define exactly what makes a song “gay,” this list definitely isn’t straight. These songs are a testimony to our resilience and excellence. We have recorded our history and contribution to the culture through music, and with this list we acknowledge and remember the forerunners that have made possible the positive changes we’ve seen over the decades. How does a song become a gay anthem? Like the LGBTQ+ community itself, our soundtrack is vast and diverse.
