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

movie wh an openly gay won't reveal anythg about the plot of the animated sequel, which opens the US and UK on Friday and Atralia Nov. Disney's first official gay character appeared the 2017 live-actn remake of Bety and the Beast, which LeFou (Josh Gad) has a csh on Gaston (Le Evans) and danc wh another man. Disney AnimatnMeanwhile, Jack Whehall is set to play the first major Disney character to be explicly gay the upg Jungle Cise, which opens July 2020.

IS ELSA GAY? WHY FROZEN 2 DON'T ADDRS THE TOPIC

Fans have speculated about Elsa's sexualy sce Frozen was first released 2013, but Frozen 2 still don't addrs whether or not she's gay.

SO, HOW GAY IS DISNEY’S FROZEN?

Given Disney's fear of alienatg parents (or media censors untri like Rsia) who aren't tolerant of LGBTQ+ them children's entertament, 's not surprisg that the stud didn't make Elsa gay Frozen 2. The st and creators of the Frozen movi are much more on board wh a gay Elsa than Disney seems to be. Rpons on the matter range om vague to hopeful, givg fans a spark of possibily for a gay Elsa the future.

While the films have heavily hted at Elsa's sexualy wh subtext the lyrics and through Elsa's strong relatnships wh women, n fans expect Disney to make her the first gay Disney prcs a third movie?

"Let Go" beme a gay anthem for those stgglg wh or embracg their sexualy, and all Disney had to do was give Elsa a girliend. Fans n make a se for Elsa beg asexual or aromantic as easily as her beg gay or bisexual. Whether Elsa is gay, aromantic, asexual, or any batn of the three remas to be seen, but there's a lot standg the way of that happeng.

IT'S NOT JT FROZEN: MOST DISNEY MOVI ARE PRO-GAY

More signifint gay relatnships have appeared on smaller-sle Disney+ shows - but wh the more nservative nature of major Disney films, would have taken a miracle for Disney to make Elsa gay. It wasn't likely that Disney would risk parents boyttg their most succsful animated anchise by makg Frozen's leadg lady gay. When asked about the lack of gay Elsa Frozen 2, director Jennifer Lee told Insir, "When we agreed to do the sequel, we agreed we were gog to not build [om] the outsi ...

The parallels between Elsa's parents rejectg her powers and the backlash the gay muny fac when they e out to their fay is palpable. Disney may have dropped the ball Frozen 2, but is there a possibily of gay Elsa Frozen 3? Given that Frozen 2 took around six years to plete, the social climate standg the way of a gay prcs may change between now and then.

THERE’S A MARRIED GAY UPLE DISNEY’S ZOOTOPIA BUT NEARLY EVERYONE MISSED

The st and creative team have lent their support to fans who intify Elsa as a gay in.

DISNEY’S ‘FROZEN’ IS NOT A ‘GAY’ FILM (BUT I WISH WERE)

Elsa's newfound nfince and self-acceptance offer the perfect jumpg-off pot for a gay Elsa. Wh the wrers tentatively on board, if Elsa shows them the rabow way, a gay Elsa plot would have to make s way past a lot of sks to e to un. While Disney's effort for LGBTQ+ cln is mimally there, the pany has yet to take a step toward creatg a signifint gay role one of their major anchis.

But given how long took between Frozen 1 and Frozen 2, maybe there's hope for a gay Elsa yet. The Febary sk lls out Disney for not givg Elsa a gay storyle  Frozen 2, and 's not subtle at all. For now, though, I want to addrs somethg I noted passg my review: the qutn of gay-culture them Frozen.

THE IVF PROCS FOR GAY UPL

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.

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.

COULD ELSA BE GAY FROZEN 2?

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. It's Not Jt Frozen: Most Disney Movi Are Pro-GayBy preachg acceptance and qutng genr, the pany's kids films offer a queer-studi crash urse.

Elsa hidg her ice-powers uld be read as a metaphor for the closet, the Osr-wng “Let Go” plays like a g-out anthem, and a character the film evok the qutn of whether homosexualy is a choice by quirg of Elsa’s powers, “born wh or cursed?

LGBT FERTILY OPTNS FOR TRANSGENR & GAY COUPL

Through both s rporate practic and the ntent of s films, Disney for s has implemented the so-lled "gay agenda"—which is to say, helpg make the world a more acceptg start the most obv place: As a bs, Disney has long held a progrsive attu toward LGBT people. Gay pri events have been hosted at Disney World sce 1991, and the pany started offered s gay employe health surance benefs for their partners sce 1995, a cisn that wasn’t entirely popular back of the most poignant exampl of the pany’s tolerant atmosphere is the se of lyricist Howard Ashman, who was openly gay and died of AIDS 1991.

In this way, even though Disney films ually offer a tradnal happy endg wh a heterosexual marriage, the journey always volv rejectg parental and societal expectatns, and exercisg a “eedom to marry whomever you love” spir that is enmic to gay, many Disney romanc are exampl of “impossible sire, ” a trope that is ccial to the queer experience, as genr-studi theorist Heather Love argued Feelg Backward.
