Talk:Elsa the Snow Queen/@comment-24274529-20140214120335

Since Frozen came out, I have seen a lot of people considering Elsa to be a lesbian, or at least a LGBT icon, and something about her being homosexual always seemed a bit off to me. And now (since a little while back, actually) there is a petition going around Tumblr asking Disney to make her a lesbian in the sequel. For some reason, i didn't think that would work, and I've finally realised why.

I DO think that Elsa could be considered a LGBT icon, as her storyline is a lot like that of many homosexuals, as they are afraid of being persecuted for what makes them different (their sexuality), and sometimes end up hating themselves for this difference. But that is also the reason I think that she shouldn't be a lesbian in the sequel. At the end of Frozen, you could see that all her secrets were told, everyone accepted her, she accepted  herself. It wouldn't make sense to make her go through what she went through in Frozen again, bringing her back from the happy, bubbly person we saw at the end and making her secretive and depressed again in an "oops we forgot about this part haha sorry" sort of way. Although LGBT would finally be getting representation in Disney films, it would also have to be one of the worst sequels made by Disney, because we would p r o b a b l y get the same storyline. And I don't think the company would want to do that, with Frozen being one of its best films (money-wise) in a long time.
