A money-obsessed Young Republican, Ferguson doesn’t fit the typical mold of a gay man, but we’re pretty sure that by the time he grew up and was able to move out of the Darling household, this kid went full-on gay. We’re sure Clarissa could help him explain that one to their parents.

10. Ken Doll

We knew Barbie was basic but come on, there’s no way she could possibly think things between her and Ken could ever work out. With his enviable California physique and what’s described as a “fantastically fashionable line of clothing and accessories,” Ken isn’t fooling anybody. Lest we forget that the best-selling Ken doll of all time is Earring Magic Ken, who was criticized after his release as being a stereotypical representation of a gay man at the time. Busted!

11. Calvin

One has to wonder if Calvin’s endless imaginary adventures with Hobbes are the result of him not wanting to face reality. This little boy is afraid of girls and his babysitter, and he often breaks societal rules such as going to school, playing organized sports, or interacting with other real characters. Most Calvin and Hobbes comics depict Calvin debating some deep philosophical debate, but we’re pretty sure that if he just accepted himself and his orientation, he’d be much happier.
