"Frozen 2" became a platform to push LGBT as proponents call on Disney to make the sequel a gay-themed film. The social media LGBT call for Disney to partner Elsa in "Frozen 2" with another "Queen," hash tagged #GiveElsaAGirlfriend, is intensifying.
According to Opposing Views, the "Frozen" plot of self-acceptance and identity resonated strongly with LGBT proponents. The first "Frozen" story was taken by LGBT members of the community as an allusion to the acceptance of one's own sexual orientation.
Morning News USA reports that the call to turn "Frozen 2" into an LGBT tale asks Disney to stop defaulting to heterosexual team ups. The "Frozen 2" LGBT campaign for Elsa to be paired with a girlfriend rather than a prince was started by Twitter user Alexis Isabel.
The call to Disney has been growing louder since. Like-minded social media users took up the campaign to turn "Frozen 2" into an LGBT love story.
Part of the intention of LGBT individuals, who have been sending out their request to Disney, is to push for normalizing homosexuality. An LGBT character in the family oriented "Frozen 2" will further this agenda.
Newsweek points out that depicting Elsa as a lesbian and partnering her with a girlfriend in "Frozen 2" is an unworthy LGBT compromise. If members of the LGBT community are to be given a representation in a Disney film, the character reportedly should be more central than "Frozen 2" would afford.
According to the media agency, LGBT proponents should call on Disney to create an intentional representation in a separate film. An addition of the LGBT agenda to "Frozen 2" would simply seem too much like an afterthought.
LGBT-themed or not, "Frozen 2" is scheduled for a 2018 theater release. Idina Menzel as Elsa, Kirsten Bell as Anna and Josh Gad as Olaf will return as "Frozen 2" stars under the direction of Jennifer Lee.
