Frozen lambasted as pro-gay propaganda by Christian pastor

Frozen, the Oscar-winning Disney cartoon adapted from Hans Christian Andersen, is a vehicle for pro-gay propaganda as well a promoting bestiality, according to a Christian radio show in Colorado.

Pastor Kevin Swanson of the Reformation Church, who hosts Generations Radio, denounced the film as "very evil", and that Disney was "one of the most pro-homosexual organisations in the country".

Swanson said: "You wonder sometimes if maybe there's something very evil happening here ... I wonder if people are thinking: 'You know I think this cute little movie is going to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian or treat homosexuality or bestiality in a light sort of way.'"

He also characterised Disney as a satanic company, saying: "If I was the Devil, what would I do to really foul up an entire social system and do something really, really, really evil to 5- and 6- and 7-year-olds in Christian families around America?... If I was the Devil, I would buy Disney in 1984."

I’d tend to think most normal people would completely miss them — and even most “fairies” would need to have them pointed out.

A picture in a voluntarily viewed movie can’t make a normal person “gay.”

[Eurotwit]

Heck I still miss it.

Looks like a tower to me...

I never said it would “make you gay”. I said its there and it registers on your subconscious. Sexual imagery probably increases their sales.

Wonder what "Pastor" Kevin Swanson thought of Jesus and his apostles .

A group of single men traveling together, enjoying the sites, eating together, sleeping together, all the while professing the love of thy fellow man....... all without the company of women..


That just screams "homo"

(And yes, this is sarcasm!)

I think so. The movie is *not* about anything even remotely related to glbtq stuff. But I think it can help us gain a heart for those who do struggle with SSA. I strongly oppose gay activism, FWIW, but do feel for those who experience same-sex attraction.

I can’t belive that you just got me to google, “little mermaid and pe...” lol.

“According to snopes this is a false rumour. It was not even drawn by a Disney employee, but by a Christian artist.

The artist himself didn’t notice the resemblance until a member of his youth church group heard about the controversy on talk radio and called him at his studio with the news.

I think often with these sort of things, people see what they want to see.

[RedMonqey]

No I wouldn’t have, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t register on your subconscious.

Really?

And what "subconscious" message does it suppose to send?

That this movie is a d^^k?

I'm a raving heterosexual so maybe it's a secret message for the faeries....

[tanknetter]

Never saw it. It has queers in it? Well, that tells you all you need know about what happened to Walt’s company.

Nope, it doesn't. From the looks of it this "pastor" simply spews out allegations without providing any sort of substantive reference to back his claims up.

The focus of the story is on the relationship between two sisters. One is involved in a quasi-love triangle with a Prince and a commoner. The commoner does have a pretty close relationship with his pet ... caribou? So maybe that's where the "bestiality" claim comes from? Since the commoner and the caribou (or is it a reindeer?) are both male ... well, heck, who knows?

And then there's this living snowman ... not sure where that fits in to the whole queer/bestiality thing.

Otherwise about the only thing overtly sexual in the movie is the transformation scene of the other sister. Basically a decent (if somewhat prim and severe) looking blonde in traditional Scandinavian winter attire who metamorphizes (sp?) over the course of a musical number into a smoking hot (off Laz's hit-worthy scale) vixen with flowing hair, a form-fitting dress with a very nice slit up the side of one leg and ... cleavage (oh WHY did there have to be cleavage?).

But that's pretty much Disney's specialty, right? At least she didn't end up twerking, sticking her tongue out in unnatural ways, stripping nekkid and riding a wrecking ball like it was a mechanical bull, right?

I'm guessing if I were in early elementary school I'd have had pretty much the same reaction to that as I did whenever seeing Linda Carter twirl herself from Diana Prince into Wonder Woman. But I digress.

I guess as Tolkien used to say, good art about the human condition will have applicability to many situations.

If a story about love, can give people comfort and solace it seems like a good thing to me.

Sam Kinison's creative interpretation of the true meaning of "Last Supper" comes to mind ...

[workerbee]

Libs spend their time looking for “offenses” in daily life. Similarly, some conservatives spend their time looking for “code.” Both are a waste of time and deserve to be ridiculed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I wonder if this is even a genuine, if misguided, Christian preacher. Could it be a false flag?

[GeronL]

Why bother looking when it’s shoved in our face 1000 times a day?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Interesting theory. But like Sigmund Freud said, sometimes a cigar isn’t anything else.

Had to look that one up. Ouch!! (but it was "Classic Sam Kinison)

[Bigg Red]

I have not seen it and haven’t been to a movie in years.

I will say that it is a rare film, TV show etc. which does not include subtle and sometimes not subtle PC indoctrination.

Same here. And I agree with your assessment.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that there are subliminal messages in many films.

[Bigg Red]

No I wouldn’t have, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t register on your subconscious.

***
Bingo! And it’s aimed at children.

[Aqua Buddhist]

I saw it with my kids (one liked it, one didn’t; I loved it) and saw no gay overtones.

I saw Frozen, and darned if I have any idea what this guy is talking about. He could probably find "gay propaganda" in a dial tone.

[driftdiver]

Yes thats why companies spend billions on this stuff.

[driftdiver]

What’s it like to go through life so naive and simple?
