After a polarizing Twitter war between LGBT supporters and the conservatives, an emerging third group launched their own Twitter campaign and online petition urging Disney to keep Elsa single and let her be herself in the upcoming ‘Frozen 2’. Meanwhile, recent rumors suggest about the possible return of Prince Hans to become Elsa’s love interest which could be a stunner given the stunt he previously pulled off in the first movie.
The ongoing debate over whether Elsa should be given a lesbian identity or not has escalated as LGBT advocates lobby Disney to make the protagonist come out of the closet. On the other hand, conservatives are launching their own counter-offensive campaign to put a halt on pro-gay activists’ #GiveElsaAGirlfriend agenda.
Debates surrounding Elsa’s possible lesbian identity in Frozen 2 are gaining quite a lot of traction with groups from the progressive and conservative ends of the social spectrum launching their own respective campaigns. While LGBT advocates push to increase gay representation in movies including Disney’s, conservatives (especially religious groups) are campaigning for preserving the moral integrity of the film with child-friendly content.
Fans are snowballing a twitter campaign with the hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend in a bid to empower LGBT representation in the hit Disney animation. Already, the movie has been interpreted as gay-friendly due to its LGBT undertone.
The official soundtrack of the short film Frozen Fever is released this week, days before the showing of the Disney craze.
