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

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? 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.

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

Tommy Taylor has transformed Disney Prc to the quaranted gays we know and love. It seems like gay men across the world have formed their own way to pe wh beg on lockdown that ually clus one or more for the followg: endls shirtls workouts, tasteful and/or tastels thirst traps, bakg banana bread, masturbatn, lnchg an OnlyFans, dyeg their hair, or the fal step to mania, buzzg off pletely. 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? It turns out that giant man “Wanrg Oaken’s Tradg Post and Sna” is probably gay.

DISNEY NOW HAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNY TO CONFIRM ELSA'S GAY INTY - INSI THE MAGIC

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. 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. Disney’s wholeheartedly embraced the “gay agenda, ” haven’t you heard? A Mormon grandmother has whipped the blogosphere to a enzy wh her nouncement of new Disney mil Frozen as homosexual propaganda rptg our youth, whilst on the other si of the aisle queer Disney fans are praisg the animated movie as a triumph for gay reprentatn , eher way, this really isn’t the “well-behaved Mormon woman” Kathryn Skaggs argu that the film’s msage of tolerance, exemplified by the Osr-nomated song “Let It Go”, is signed to advance “the homosexual agenda” (’s worth notg other Mormons have spoken out strongly agast Skaggs’ claims).

I don’t wish to dismiss anyone’s terpretatn, or tell someone they’re watchg a film “the wrong way” – but for me at least, the claims jt don’t add me tell you how many “gay” scen there are Frozen: One. But we need to keep a hold of some ’s one flamboyant shopkeeper and a song of acceptance sung by a prcs who still rigidly sticks to society’s narrowly-fed standards of bety: ’s hardly the transcennt gay anthem of our if this sire to claim Queen Elsa as a queer in shows anythg, ’s that Disney don’t need to be so worried about alienatg anyone through progrs. For every nutjob sendg ath threats to 5-year olds bee they act alongsi gay characters (y, really), there’s a thoand people clamorg for more reprentative role look at the pre-release Frozen fanart pictg Elsa as a woman of lor, or the fact that there’s a burgeong fandom for Moana, set to star a Polynian prcs, a full four years ahead of s ’s proven self pable of prentg a braver view of the world s non-movie anchis: “Gay Days” have taken place at s Disneyland parks sce the 1990s, and gay upl feature two of s TV shows, Good Luck Charlie and The Fosters.
