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.

ELSA GAY AND HAS GIRLIEND ‘FROZEN 3,’ ACRDG TO SOURC

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. In the origal film, the ice queen’s sister Anna (played by Kristen Bell) got all the love-story actn, leavg many the LGBTQ muny hopg and wonrg if Elsa might be gay.

SO, HOW GAY IS DISNEY’S FROZEN?

Elsa Gay and Has a Girliend Frozen 3.

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

Wh there beg six years between the first and send movi, Frozen 3 is likely far om g to un—but this wouldn’t be the first move Disney has ma to ph a homosexual agenda. Acrdg to Fahwire, “The Disney Channel ma history 2017 when Joshua Ryan, who played Cys the ‘Andi Mack’ seri, beme the first character to utter the phrase, ‘I’m gay.

BEN SHAPIRO PREDICTS THAT GAY ‘FROZEN’ SEQUEL WILL SPARK DISNEY’S DOWNFALL

In the same year, Disney stirred up major ntroversy when they promoted an “exclively gay moment” Bety and the Beast, between LeFou and a henchman drsed as a woman. Y, people actually are terted whether the Disney character is gay. 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.

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

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. 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. 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.

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

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.

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

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. In The Queer Child Kathryn Bond Stockton argu that queerns is not jt about homosexualy, but also about growg abnormal ways that mak the child an outst. Shapiro isn’t the first to terpret Elsa as gay; ever sce Frozen was released, Elsa has been herald as a queer in, as her story is that of reprsed inty (her ice powers), which fally emerge durg her inic “Let It Go” scene.
