'MAKE IT HAPPEN': Tweeters urge Disney to make 'Frozen' character Elsa a lesbian

In case you haven’t already heard, Disney is planning a sequel to its hit movie “Frozen.” Plot details are still vague, but some people are hoping that Disney will take the advice of Feminist Culture founder Alexis Isabel:

I hope Disney makes Elsa a lesbian princess imagine how iconic that would be

— Alexis Isabel (@lexi4prez) May 1, 2016

Isabel writes:

Growing up, I never saw a princess fall in love with another princess — and neither have girls growing up right now. The entertainment industry has given us girls who have fallen in love with beasts, ogres who fall for humans, and even grown women who love bees. But we’ve never been able to see the purity in a queer relationship.

I recently thought about this in relation to Disney’s Frozen, a movie I have seen multiple times (I own practically all of the Olaf merch available). Many in the LGBT community view this movie as a metaphor for the experience of coming out and accepting who you are. Yet Elsa, the film’s protagonist, will probably end up with a male prince or king in the upcoming Frozen sequel. These thoughts soon drenched my mind and pushed me to tweet about how “iconic” it would be if Frozen’s Elsa were cast alongside a princess instead.

And thus, a hashtag was born:

Dear @Disney, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

Isabel quickly found herself in growing company:

Let's trend #GiveElsaAGirlfriend in hopes that @Disney will consider giving queer girls representation in princess form. ?

Just imagine how amazing it would be , if Elsa got a gf and people would be chill with it?❄ #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

A gay Disney princess would have helped me feel so much more normal when I was younger. Representation is important. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

news flash: not every person in the world is straight, so why should every disney princess be straight? #giveelsaagirlfriend

Kids DO need to learn about queer/gay relationships the same way they learn and view hetero relationships #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

#GiveElsaAGirlfriend because half of Frozen is one big metaphor for being in the closet, getting outed, and coming to terms with yourself…

Love is an open door. That door should be open to everyone, not just straight people. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend @Disney @DisneyPixar

#GiveElsaAGirlfriend so little kids will know that girls loving girls is normal even when their parents teach them otherwise.

Spoiler alert: Frozen was a metaphor for a closeted person learning to love herself and your children adored it. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend
