SO, HOW GAY IS DISNEY’S FROZEN?
"Jafar's orig story is that he's gay and pissed." * gay character frozen *
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. 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.
IS ELSA GAY? WHY FROZEN 2 DON'T ADDRS THE TOPIC
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.
IT'S NOT JT FROZEN: MOST DISNEY MOVI ARE PRO-GAY
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. 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.
17 GAY AND LGBTQ DISNEY CHARACTERS – OM D TO NON TO TASTROPHE
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?
Why Frozen Fans Want Elsa To Be Gay. "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. A gay Elsa isn't the only oute that fans would stand behd, though.
