Frozen 2: Will Elsa get a girlfriend in Disney sequel? Idina Menzel joins fan campaign (ibtimes.co.uk).
“Frozen star Idina Menzel supported fan campaign #GiveElsaAGirlfriend as she spoke on the 2016 Billboard Music Awards red carpet in Las Vegas. The Let It Go hitmaker thought it was a ‘great’ idea to let Queen Elsa, who is a breakthrough character in Disney, have a female love interest in Frozen 2. ‘I think it’s great,’ the singer-cum-actress told ET during the red carpet event on Sunday about the online campaign that has been gaining support over time. ‘Disney’s just gotta contend with that. I’ll let them figure that out,’ Menzel added.”
Indeed, hinted at within and widely assumed in internet fandom, for some who still may have “difficulties” knowing what that means:
Frozen fans ask Disney to make Elsa a lesbian in sequel with #GiveElsaAGirlfriend campaign (people.com).
“A new Twitter campaign calling on Frozen producers to make Elsa a lesbian in the upcoming sequel has gone viral. Twitter user Alexis Isabel Moncada was the first to bring up the idea on Saturday, tweeting, ‘I hope Disney makes Elsa a lesbian princess imagine how iconic that would be.’ Her follow up tweet, ‘Dear @Disney, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend,’ has been retweeted more than 1,700 times. ”
So come on Disney, help Elsa—and the fans for whom she is a role model they have long awaited—again “let it go”.
