Did you know Jim Carrey's The Grinch was actually raised by lesbians?

"Anyone who has watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas will know that before he became the OG king of Bah Humbug and Whoville's most irascible resident, The Grinch was raised as part of a loving family. The beloved anti-hero, played by Jim Carrey, arrives outside the house of Clair Nella Who (Mindy Sterling) and Rose Who (Rachel Winfree) via Dr. Suess invention the pumbersella, getting caught up in the tree growing beside it."

"We get a glimpse into their cozy home, which is alight with holiday spirit and a nondescript party happening within it - plus, a group of Whoville residents dropping their keys into a glass bowl. Viewers who are acutely aware of their sex history know that dropping keys into a bowl at a party is often an indication that you're at, erm, a swingers' party."

"After discovering The Grinch, Clair Nella Who and Rose Who take him in and raise him as their own. Their relationship is non-specified, but if they live together and raise a child (or creature) together, then hey, why not call a spade a spade and a lesbian a lesbian. While the more heteronormative fans of How the Grinch Stole Christmas have long believed that Clair Nella and Rose are sisters, members of the LGBTQ+ community have always assumed them to be lesbians."

Clair Nella Who and Rose Who find the Grinch after he arrives in a pumbersella and they raise him in their cozy, festive household. The household hosts a party where guests drop keys into a bowl, a practice that some associate with swingers' gatherings. The two women live together and co-parent the Grinch, prompting many LGBTQ+ viewers to read them as a lesbian couple while others assume they are sisters. Mindy Sterling has said she assumed the women were sisters. The film's 25th anniversary resurfaces these interpretations.
