Gay frozen

Her Let It Go not only won an Oscar for best song, it became a queer anthem for its themes of revealing your true self. PocahontasMulanJasmine from Aladdin and Tiara from Princess and the Frog have already proved the value of showing audiences an array of Disney princesses from a variety of backgrounds.

That same year actress Tessa Thompson talked about her portrayal of Valkyrie in Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok as a bisexual characterbut a sequence that made explicit the character's sexuality was cut from the Marvel movie.

Frozen is the story of two strong sisters, and it's their relationship that drives the movie. Disney's first official gay character appeared in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beastin which LeFou Josh Gad has a crush on Gaston Luke Evans and dances with another man.

The traditionally conservative Disney is making strides with representation in its recent live-action reboots of animated classics. Audiences of all ages -- and all sexualities -- deserve to see queer characters they can learn from, admire or emulate, so it's about time Disney opted for broader representation in its films and animated features.

The character's sexual orientation has never been officially acknowledged by Disney, gay fans had been looking for the confirmation she's lesbian in Frozen 2.

We'll probably have to wait for Thor: Love and Thunder in to see an openly bisexual Valkyrie on the big screen. But hopes that Elsa will find a girlfriend have been frozen out, as Frozen 2 misses the chance to be the first Disney Animation movie with an openly gay lead.

So we felt that was plenty for her. I kept going “true love isn’t just between lovers”. Would I have liked to see her share her life with a girlfriend?

But if you're spoiler-averse be warned: We're about to discuss something that doesn't happen in the movie. The first time I heard someone say “Frozen is gay” I thought they meant like, literally, like Elsa and Anna were dating.

From a storyline perspective, Lee's words make sense. Why not a queer princess? She's trying to save her family and her sister, understand who she is, and why she has this power. Meanwhile, Jack Whitehall is set to play the first major Disney character to be explicitly gay in the upcoming Jungle Cruisewhich opens July But even though it looks Disney is making some slow progress, I keep wondering if Frozen 2 was a missed opportunity.

The first Frozen not only contains the LGBTQ anthem like Let It Go, it's also a very feminist movie where the princesses don't need a prince to live happily ever after. It also focuses on their growth as they look forward to different things in life.

But hopes that Elsa will find a girlfriend have been frozen out, as Frozen 2 misses the chance to be the first Disney Animation movie with an openly gay lead. We've previously fact-checked claims that Elsa would marry a woman in the "Frozen" movies.
