Sometimes a children's movie is just a movie- not a moral/ideological/thological platform

Disney is facing fierce pressure from liberal groups who are demanding their writers turn Queen Elsa into a lesbian during the sequel, “Frozen 2.” Please join the 37,000 who’ve already signed our petition against this absurd “movement.” With our petition, we’re suggesting Disney with a much better idea… An idea that promotes solid family values to our children and represents the natural family. Join the 37,000 — sign our petition, now, to Disney asking that Elsa fall in love with a Prince. #CharmingPrinceForElsa…. Queen Elsa a Lesbian? Thinking about our children, this idea is frightening.

Leave it to adults to completely and thoroughly booger up a children’s movie. No sooner did “Frozen” come out than the Conservative culture warriors were complaining that Disney was attempting to glorify homosexuality as part of some sort of sinister plot to advance The Homosexual Agenda © and forcibly turn American children gay. That Disney was a for-profit business which had made a children’s movie seemed somehow to escape the ninnies. Disney was hoping to make money, not engage in any sort of controversial subliminal homosexual proselytizing.

OR WERE THEY????

Of course, once the good, God-fearing, heterosexual culture warriors took the bit, there was no stopping them from engaging in all manner of bloviating and fear-mongering over how Disney was attempting to corrupt the flower of American youth. Evidently, these good, God-fearing patriots live to feed their considerable righteous anger and fear nothing more than lacking a target for their ire.

Then the news came that Disney was planning a sequel to “Frozen,” and as you might imagine, the ninnies were immediately locked and loaded. This time they’ve been joined by some on the opposite side of the moral/ideological/theological spectrum…who’ve started a Twitter campaign to ask Disney to give the Princess a girlfriend.

Cue the butthurt and righteous outrage in 4…3…2….

In response to a Twitter campaign urging Disney to “give Elsa a girlfriend” in the sequel to the popular children’s movie “Frozen,” the social conservative group CitizenGo is circulating its own petition demanding that Disney “follow its normal trend and create a Prince character to fall in love” with the movie’s heroine.

The National Organization for Marriage’s Brian Brown is one of five board members of CitizenGo, which is meant to be sort of a global social conservative version of MoveOn.org.

This is without question a case of dueling ridiculousness, with Conservative culture warriors clearly having the loudest voice. That said, there’s little cause to dispute the absurdity of more Liberal sorts asking that Disney “give Elsa a girlfriend.” It’s every bit as laughable as Conservatives demanding that Disney “create a Prince character [for Elsa] to fall in love [with].”

This is about entertainment, y’all; how about we step back from our pet agendas and try to focus on the reality that “Frozen” and its sequel (u>ARE CHILDREN’S MOVIES. Good Lord, y’all; not everything in this world is a commentary on what should be the appropriate moral/ideological/religious framework. Sometimes, a movie is just a movie…and no, “Let It Go” is not “Satan’s rebellion anthem“…any more than “Frozen” was a satanic plot to turn kids gay.

Jeebus, y’all…don’t you think it’s about time you got a hobby, something that doesn’t require you to wallow in butthurt self-righteousness 24/7/365?
