Hello readers, this post is my holiday special. Pour yourself an eggnog, cozy up by the fire,
and listen as I regale you with a tale that is wintery, queer, and kind of
funny. The story of the latest
propaganda for the gay agenda, a little movie called Frozen.
Anyone with young children has almost certainly seen Frozen,
probably more times than they can count. Kevin Swanson, a pastor of the Reformation
Church and host of a religious radio show in Colorado, called Frozen “very evil”
and Disney is “one of the most pro-homosexual organizations in the country.” Swanson’s rant was inspired by a National Catholic
Register blog post written by film critic Steven Greydanus titled “So, How Gay
is Frozen.” This post says Elsa’s lack
of a male suitor implies lesbianism and the song Let it Go where Elsa learns to
accept herself and her powers is a coming out metaphor. He also says Anna wanting an immediate
wedding to Prince Hans, who she just met, implies that straight people are
harming marriage. The post continues to
claim that Kristoff’s relationship with his reindeer Sven is borderline bestiality. This accusation of Frozen as being propaganda
seems to have started with the blog A Well Behaved Mormon Women, written by
Kathryn Skaggs who wrote extensively about it.
When asked about these gay accusations, director Jennifer Lee only said “I
feel like once we hand the film over, it belongs to the world, so I don't like
to say anything, and let the fans talk. I think it's up to them."
Many movies, books and TV shows aver the years have been accused of spreading a gay agenda, Frozen is just the latest. Here is my take on this ridiculous “nontorversy.” Self-acceptance is something every healthy
well-adjusted person must attain. The
search for self-acceptance by a misfit is the theme of more books, movies, and
TV shows than I could ever name; most of which are not accused of being gay propaganda. Being single does not mean
one is a closeted homosexual. Thus, Elsa
is not necessarily a lesbian, just single and well-adjusted. I feel that drunken Las Vegas weddings,
AshleyMadison.com, and super short celebrity marriages (I’m looking at you Kim
Kardashian) all cheapen marriage and are produced by and for straight
people. That being said, the vast
majority of straight people take their vows far more seriously than this, and
gay people could do similar, tacky things.
Therefore, I think Anna wanting an immediate marriage to a stranger should
be seen as youthful overenthusiasm, not an indictment against heterosexual
relationships, most of which are serious, loving and committed. As for Kristoff and his reindeer, I can’t
comment about that.
Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you all have a great
one. Be merry and remember not to listen
to crazy people on the internet (sometime that includes me). Frozen is a great movie, it reminds me of
Pixar, pre-Cars. If your kids get squirrely
during the festivities, I totally recommend putting it on for them.
Merry Christmas To All And To All A Good Night
