Will frozen 2 have a gay character

So basically everyone loves Frozen except me. I am a little surprised at the sustained effort of Christian fans to spin Frozen as some sort of Christian allegory more on this in an upcoming post. For now, though, I want to address something I noted in passing in my review: the question of gay-culture themes in Frozen.

However, a point I overlooked earlier has just been brought to my attention that I think does warrant mention. All of this seems to me a clearly if subtly expressive of a pro-gay culture at Disney, and b not that big a deal, inasmuch as the themes are subtle and ambiguous enough not pose either a significant annoyance to even savvy parents or a corrupting influence on children.

I would not say that of the pro-gay themes in the likes of Madagascar 2 or the Happy Feet movies ; those are in a different category, and I do object to them. This was brought to my attention by an interesting article at PolicyMic. Hey, did you notice the gay character?

The adult in the sauna is clearly implied to be his husband.

Why Elsa doesn't have a love story, gay or otherwise, in 'Frozen 2'

The adult male in the sauna, with his slim jaw and lack of facial hair, looks markedly younger than the mountain-sized, hirsute Oaken, and could be his oldest son. Hi family! Yet obviously the Disney version of The Prince and the Prince is a long way off yet. The revolution is still in the early stages.

Gay families and their allies must take their consolations where they can find them, and content themselves for the most part with winks and nods, hints and subtexts. The Cowardly Lion! Bert and Ernie! But it also means Hollywood filmmakers really want to throw in those winks and nods when they can.

And yet, in this case the filmmakers have walked that line really well: so well that the pro-gay themes have gone right over the heads of countless adult Christian viewers, many of whom have embraced Frozen as resonating powerfully with Christian themes. With her ice powers, Elsa is notably different from other people.

Nevertheless, her difference is an occasion of fear and secrecy. Yes: a bestiality joke in a Disney cartoon. Is there plausible deniability? Why is the young man centrally positioned, with all the other figures around him? How often do we see such a large family in a Disney movie?

Why so many, if not visual misdirection to slip the moment past most viewers? I disagree. Read more….
