Muppet Fact #330
A lot of people see the Muppets as outcasts, a trait a lot of queer people relate to. Included in this motley crew, of course, is Miss Piggy. This lively and confident pig is often pointed to as a queer icon for a variety of reasons. Some say it is because she is a reminder of the drag queens of old with her exaggerated and over-the-top performance. Others say it is because the character is often performed by a man (Richard Hunt, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Victor Yerrid, Eric Jacobson) and seldom performed by a woman (Fran Brill). Others say that it is her messages of pride in oneself and being unapologetically you have helped in securing her status as a queer icon.

“He seemed to be operating with some different kind of compass,” Soderbergh said. “His physicality, his speech rhythms were all unexpected and yet totally organic. You didn’t feel like he was putting on a show or that it was mannered. He just seemed to be from another universe.”
