Riley inside out gay

Riley's inclusion in the LGBTQ+ community in the Inside Out movies is supported by rainbow imagery and Emotions hinting at nonbinary identities. Riley's interactions with Val in Inside Out 2 suggest a potential crush on another girl, adding depth to her character exploration.

However, it's established in Inside Out 2 that Riley isn't queer, despite what seems like a crush on a fellow hockey player, Val. This story finds Riley excelling with the Foghorns' hockey team, but she has a shot at moving up to the middle-school team, the Firehawks.
