That seems like quite a leap. The Walt Disney Company has been offering its employees benefits for their same-sex partners since 1996, but a princess marrying a princess? Spoiler warning for “Frozen”: the princess doesn’t marry the prince in this one, but she does end up with “ice dude.”
Finished Frozen. Glad Anna ends up w ice dude, not prince. & saves herself. Still, would luv to see full range of families in kids movies.

Plenty think it’s time for Disney to move ahead with same-sex couples and families.
@sallykohn @DisneyPictures yes!!!

@sallykohn @JulieLvsPACKERS Progressive lesbian princesses would abdicate their titles and work together to bring democracy to the kingdom.

@sallykohn @DisneyPictures no..it's not….ever.

@Toure @sallykohn No. Kids movies should be off limits to far left ideology. They should see the norm, man marrying woman.

@sallykohn no, we don't need @DisneyPictures to push your agenda Sally, you're doing a fine job of it yourself.

@sallykohn that would be cool. Maybe the girl can get pregnant and have an abortion at 26 weeks. I know, we can call her Wendy…..

@sallykohn I'd say do away with sexual roles in movies for kids altogether. Let kids be kids for fuck's sake.

Some are encouraged by the “baby steps” Disney has been taking.
@sallykohn Small steps. This is the first @DisneyPictures where the princess didn't marry a prince and solved the problem herself.

@sallykohn @DisneyPictures I was just happy she didn't have to marry a prince to get a happy ending!

@sallykohn @disneypictures Baby steps 🙂 I like that the damsel isn't rescued by the prince for a change…

What about Oaken’s gay family?
@sallykohn They DID have a scene where the deep-mountain storekeeper's family was a gay family with 3 kids!
