Whether one likes the song “Let It Go”, it is hard not to smile when watching a four-year-old girl, dressed in her finest princess regalia, belt out the song, channeling her inner-Elsa. Disney has long captured the imaginations of children who dream of tales of valor, where the beautiful princess is rescued from the evil that is lurking in the unfolding story. Ball gowns and fairy-dust, music and happily-ever-after have been the magic of childhood and the reason generations have flocked to Disney, yet now, the progressive LBGT want to taint this.
Fans of the popular Disney film Frozen took to social media Monday morning to petition the studio to give the film’s princess, Elsa, a female love interest in the upcoming sequel.
The hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend began trending Monday morning as hundreds of posters asked Disney to include a gay character in its roster of iconic Princesses.
This is not the wish of a star-struck pre-schooler, but rather an activist adult, who wants nothing more than to recreate the world into their worldview, and silence those who disagree.
“What better candidate is there for that honour than Elsa, whose own journey of acceptance with her powers has widely been interpreted as a metaphor for coming out?” writes the Independent‘s Clarisse Loughrey.
#GiveElsaAGirlfriend Okay… but just imagine… a biracial queer princess couple. DISNEY IM SO DOWN
#GiveElsaAGirlfriend because LGBT kids deserve to know that there is nothing wrong with themyour gay is showing⚢ @GIRLSKISSGlRLS#GiveElsaAGirlfriend because it would be a huge step towards queer kids feeling loved and accepted from a young age
Boycott Disneyland
No
Really, Disney was so nice ! Now I wouldn’t want my small children exposed to this c**p. They don’t know anything about that ,why are you trying to take their innocence?? Oh , I know this must be the ideas of your new muslim men in charge. Trying to desensitized our young.
Simply stop buying Disney movies and merchandise!! I am so tired of hearing spineless people whine about the damage that left wing commies have caused, but they have no spine or moral fortitude for the fight. #Boycottswork.
Another reason to be pissed off at Disney! And boy are they adding up!
I will never step in to disney agin . i f they do
Please read carefully before you judge me, as I feel that this is really important to Frozen fans from all walks of life.
As some of you know already, a sequel to the mega hit film “Frozen” is in the works. The first film involved the main character Queen Elsa of Arendelle whom struggled with controlling and hiding her powers from the people of her kingdom. Elsa’s story had resonated with many viewers whom struggled with issues, such as mental illness, special needs, being gay and/or lesbian, holding beliefs and ideals, that most of society today have little knowledge or tolerance of, which is one of the reasons the film and franchise has become one of the most popular in our recent history. I strongly relate with the film’s main character because I struggled with Autism and a permanently altered voice since I was a child, but I was able to “Let it go” and was able to not just survive in this world, but thrive beyond all expectations.
I am a college graduate, am currently employed, and have plans for my future. I see the film’s premise as a message for helping people whom are unfairly labeled with all types of stigmas, regardless of what they may be. However, there is a great deal of people that feel that Elsa’s powers and dilemma was a thinly veiled message for promoting homosexuality, and are currently pressuring Disney and the writers and producers of Frozen 2 to have Elsa directly come out as a lesbian. Others have recently pushed back wanting Elsa to be paired up with a Prince Charming. But to me either way would greatly hurt the magical feel of the franchise that began with the first film that resonated with so many people from so many backgrounds, such as me with my autism. Elsa became a strong, independent young woman after conquering and overcoming her fear by discovering that love was the answer to bringing her powers under her complete control, which inspired so many people in the real world whom suffered with different stigmas to overcome their fears and show the world whom they are. So many fans of the film, such as myself, strongly feel that if those responsible for making and writing the sequel cave in to the demand of either the LGBTQ lobbyists or those whom want Elsa to be with a prince, then they will be ignoring and disappointing the other groups of peoples that love the first film. So instead of being exclusive to one societal stigma while excluding all other groups, I feel that Elsa’s story should be kept as an inclusive metaphor that will resonate with all people whom are struggling with today’s societal stigmas.
