Gay Elsa In 'Frozen 2'

In 2013, Disney was applauded for breaking its princess mold with Queen Elsa , a strong, independent female protagonist, in its animated smash, “ Frozen .”  Subsequently, a number of LGBT rights advocates began petitioning the company to make the character a lesbian in a “Frozen” sequel, going as far as launching a trending hashtag, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend , on Twitter in May.  The sin homosexuality wants to permeate every aspect of life. The movement came as a surprise to Idina Menzel , the Tony-winning Broadway star who lent her voice to Queen Elsa. The singer-actress, 45,  told PrideSource that she was “really happy” that it was her “Frozen” character that sparked the conversation.

Both sides lack evidence on the real-world effects of same-sex marriage. Yet evidence is in. Marriage is dying in Scandinavia , which has had marriage-like same-sex registered partnerships for over a decade. Data from European demographers and statistical bureaus show that a majority of children in Sweden and Norway are now born out of wedlock, as are 60 percent of first-born children in Denmark. In socially liberal districts of Norway, where the idea of same-sex registered partnerships is widely accepted, marriage itself has almost entirely disappeared
