SO, HOW GAY IS DISNEY’S FROZEN?

For now, though, I want to addrs somethg I noted passg my review: the qutn of gay-culture them Frozen.

All of this seems to me a) clearly if subtly exprsive of a pro-gay culture at Disney, and b) not that big a al, asmuch as the them are subtle and ambiguo enough not pose eher a signifint annoyance to even savvy parents or a rptg fluence on children. (I would not say that of the pro-gay them the lik of Madagasr 2 or the Happy Feet movi; those are a different tegory, and I do object to them. However, there’s another pro-gay element Frozen worth notg that I origally missed: a fleetg but fe suggtn that a mor character has a fay nsistg of a same-sex partner and a bunch of children.

Oaken’s gay fay. Hey, did you notice the gay character?

17 GAY AND LGBTQ DISNEY CHARACTERS – OM D TO NON TO TASTROPHE

It turns out that giant man “Wanrg Oaken’s Tradg Post and Sna” is probably gay.

It seems plsible the filmmakers have thrown this moment to allow sharp-eyed homophile viewers to draw their own nclns about jt what sort of “fay” this is.

From the perspective of Hollywood filmmakers, while ’s not yet possible for a mastream fay film to have overtly gay characters or them, the heteronormativy of tradnal children’s entertament has been problematized.

IS FROZEN 2 THE FIRST DISNEY MOVIE WH AN OPENLY GAY LEAD?

Gay fai and their alli mt take their nsolatns where they n fd them, and ntent themselv for the most part wh wks and nods, hts and subtexts. And yet, this se the filmmakers have walked that le really well: so well that the pro-gay them have gone right over the heads of untls adult Christian viewers, many of whom have embraced Frozen as ronatg powerfully wh Christian them.

Oaken's gay fay Hey, did you notice the gay character? It turns out that giant man "Wanrg Oaken's Tradg Post and Sna" is probably gay. As one cric said at the time of “closeted gay fashnista” Ken: “Pairg homophobia wh misogyny, the jok about Ken suggt that the worst thgs a boy n be are eher a girl or a homosexual.

Disney faced more flak 2018 when Jack Whehall, a straight man, was revealed as playg the “hugely effete, very mp” gay man McGregor Jungle Cise. Disney faced new gay-bag accatns over the genrfluid-fashn-lovg Artie this year’s Cella.

But when the gay actor playg Artie (John McCrea) took ownership of the character (tellg Attu an terview “to me ’s official: he’s queer“) the cricism didn’t really stick. Is Artie gay? Faced wh cricism, the le would have been: a talkg rock and an earrg-wearg billy n’t be gay!
