Recently, the the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination called out Disney for not including LGBT characters in any of the studio's movies over the past year. The organization went on to state that they'd very much like to see director Rian Johnson introduce at least one gay character in Star Wars: Episode VIII. Now, fans have jumped on this bandwagon. Only they're not so interested in seeing Poe Dameron and former Stormtrooper Finn hook-up. They'd rather see Disney give Elsa a girlfriend in Frozen 2.
Frozen fans have flooded social media with the hashtag #GiveElsaaGirlfriend, which has started trending on Twitter and Facebook. Frozen is the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. Since its release in 2013, it has been heralded for its progressive nature. The movie abandoned the old romantic prince-saves-princess plot line for a story that revolves around the love had between two sisters. Now, fans are demanding that Disney take it a step further and break down more gender norms.
The fairy tale musical is currently in production, and since it is animated, it could be very difficult for Disney to set their sequel on this course if they are not already planning to give Elsa a girlfriend. But fans believe this is a first step in the right direction. "I hope Disney makes Elsa a lesbian princess imagine how iconic that would be", said one tweet. "It’ll help break down the gender norms and give LGBT children a role model."
The original movie's Academy Award-winning theme song 'Let it Go' has been adopted by the LGBT community as an anthem.
