It's Not Just Frozen: Most Disney Movies Are Pro-Gay
The Atlantic ^ | APR 23 2014 | AKASH NIKOLAS

Posted on 04/23/2014 9:44:15 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The culture warriors have decided: Disney’s Frozen is queer. Elsa hiding her ice-powers could be read as a metaphor for the closet, the Oscar-winning “Let it Go” plays like a coming-out anthem, and a character in the film evokes the question of whether homosexuality is a choice by inquiring of Elsa’s powers, “born with it or cursed?” Some liberals have praised the film for its subtext; some conservatives have denounced it.

Frozen: Too Cynical? In Defense of Prince Charming How Parents Can Turn Frozen's Big Twist Into a Teachable Moment But the most remarkable thing about queer readings of the film may be how unremarkable they really are. Through both its corporate practices and the content of its films, Disney for decades has implemented the so-called "gay agenda"—which is to say, helping make the world a more accepting place.

To start in the most obvious place: As a business, Disney has long held a progressive attitude toward LGBT people. Gay pride events have been hosted at Disney World since 1991, and the company started offered its gay employees health insurance benefits for their partners since 1995, a decision that wasn’t entirely popular back then.

Everything is about sex to these freaks.

And they wonder why people are confused by them. No one knows if you are actually going to behave like a sane adult or some perverted horn-dog that thinks everyone is hot and ready for “action”.

Apparently they cannot even watch a frigging cartoon. That is reason alone why no child should be around these people.

“...repeatedly they show kids rebelling against their parents...

And not just disagreeing with their parents but smarting off to them and making inappropriate wisecracks. I’ve blocked the Disney channels and most other kid TV on my cable box.

And the thing is that most people didnt care! We all knew Boy George was “off”, but he didnt push it on us, and people just enjoyed the music. The guy on Hollywood Squares (name escapes me) was another case. He was funny, obviously gay, and no one cared about that because it wasn’t his mission to make it all that he was.

I saw it after the initial "pro-gay" meme popped up, so it did color my viewing. And yes, I did see a pro-gay message in the film, because, honestly, I was looking for it. I don't think for a second that's what the film is about, but here's how to make the "facts" fit the meme.

So the queen-to-be has a curse/gift that is horrifying/embarrassing for her family, and is forced to hide that "gift" until she is a young adult and is "outed" at a party. Society rejects her, until she has the strength to accept who she is and not accept society's norms placed upon her (all set to tremendous music). Once she lets it go, we see that her "gift/curse" is capable of producing wondrous, awe inspiring beauty, and eventually, through the accepting love of her family, society, too realizes that her "special way" is a gift that should be embraced and enjoyed, and not feared.

There, that's my best shot. Again, I don't agree. I think you have to be looking for that, but that's how the story could be twisted into the "pro-gay" meme.

Frozen is a fairy tale

It is about being different and shunned, but redeemed by love - of and by family

It is NOT about homosexuality

ask the 4-12 years olds who love it about the theme
none of them will mention GAY

The actions of the homosexual lobby during the AIDs crisis of the '80s convinced me that they are the most self-centered, despicable people in the country. And that's saying a lot. Through their selfish and unsafe sexual activities, they murdered hundreds if not thousands of innocent people who were not homos. Then they had the gall to blame the deaths of people in their community and the innocents who were not homos on Reagan.

Now they're trying to condemn or ostracize people who don't believe in their insane, unnatural beliefs. From having a certain amount of sympathy for homos fifty years ago, I've now come to the conclusion that they're mostly a pestilence.

Homos have taken the rainbow (a symbol from God)
Homos have taken the word “gay” (and they are some of the most miserable people you’ll ever meet)
Homos have taken the best vacation spots as theirs (Key West, Cape Cod, San Francisco)
Homos are now taking over “marriage”

So we’re going to let the homos claim Disney movies too? Over some contrived connection to homosexuality?

That’s so gay.

Now everytime someone has a secret of any kind they are considered to be "in the closet" and to be compared to gays?

Sheesh. I was happy to watch a wholesome movie like "Frozen". It reminded me of the old fashioned Disney movies. Loved it and saw NOTHING objectionable in it.

Yea but gay is not a talented. .singing..dancing..whatever that is a talent that stands on its own...in fact something singing and dancing has a relationship to race..I reject that..a talented. .and ability...stand on it own Independent of other aspect of a person.
Now while gay might be associated with flamboyant, and flamboyant might be part of being a talented. .I would not contend flamboyant equals gay

Disney has what is called in the HR biz a problem with their “internal customer”.

An inordinate number of their creative staff are gay. Hence they are always under huge and constant internal pressure to capitulate to items on the gay agenda.

Does not make it right, but there is a not uncommon business reason behind it.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Yes Disney is gay friendly and politically correct but I didn’t see it in Frozen.

Neuman goes on to say it’s “sickening, and very evil, for anyone to lie like that, let alone in a legal document.”

It probably wasn't Rape, Rape.

Walt Disney had a dark side that would make UN Agenda21 followers cheer.

“It probably wasn’t Rape, Rape”

“It probably wasn’t Rape, Rape” only applies if there is a Democrat, or a large Democrat donor involved.
