Dear Reader,
I hope you had a chance to watch the Disney’s “Frozen”.
I personally fell in love with this beautiful movie, especially with its songs.
However, not everyone was touched, the right-wing conservatives in particular. To
them, the movie that got two Oscars is a part of conspiracy to turn children gay.
Fundamentalist Christian minister Kevin Swanson made this claim even though he
failed to provide any evidence. "How many Christians are taking their kids
off to see the movie 'Frozen,' produced by an organization that is probably one
of the most pro-homosexual organizations in the country?" – he asked on the
radio show. “You wonder sometimes, I’m not a tinfoil hat conspiratorialist, but
you wonder sometimes if maybe there’s something very evil happening here. 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? … I would buy Disney.”
Believe it or not, such claims found their audience
and popularity among people. In her blog “A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman” Kathryn
Skaggs wrote a huge post “Frozen: Not Gonna "Let It Go" When Movie
Advocates Gay Agenda” claiming that Elsa’s magical power is a metaphor for
homosexuality. Here you can find her explanation of the “evil” movie but if you
ask me it is just a piece of paranoid nonsense. However, it makes it crystal
clear that people who support such absurd claim try everything to demonize LGBT
people.
