DISNEY ANNOUNC 'PRC,' FIRST FILM WH OPENLY GAY CHARACTERS.

Style was at the fore of the Prce’s life and he later published two books about fashn and terr sign: The Power Look 1978 and a follow-up, The Power Look at Home: Deratg for Men, Fürstenberg had a well-known fondns for gay nightlife. But while a third movie isn't the works jt yet, once do happen, would be the perfect opportuny for Disney to break the mold and make a big step forward terms of clivy and diversy by troducg Elsa as a gay prcs.

Consirg there are many rners of the Inter (and even the entertament dtry) where younger viewers uld be misted on LGBTQ people, a gay Elsa -- if handled right -- would tastefully act as a posive statement for equaly and social jtice, and not, as some tractors might argue, a "rptg" one.

There have been a lot of mors that the eagerly anticipated sequel to Frozen will reveal Elsa to be the first gay Disney Prcs (though she is actually a queen). That will be a great leap forward terms of reprentatn of gay characters media, but if happens, Disney will have been beaten to the punch by the most recent season of Ever After High.
