The official Angry Birds account confirmed a long-running fan theory by replying "obviously." to a tweet declaring that Chuck is not heterosexual. The brief response canonically establishes the iconic yellow bird's queer orientation.
Fans have long built a case for Chuck's identity, pointing to scenes in The Angry Birds Movie where he fantasizes about Mighty Eagle's physique, flirts with male green pigs, and shares a dramatic kiss with another male bird.
This official confirmation overwrites an earlier marketing misstep where Rovio placed Chuck next to a Straight Ally pride flag, a move that had disappointed fans who viewed him as explicitly queer. The franchise has now firmly cemented Chuck as a canonically queer character.
