Elsa May Be a Lesbian, Much to the Chagrin of These Parents


Conceal don’t feel, don’t let them know/Well now they know/Let it go, let it go/Can’t hold it back anymore.


When Queen Elsa sang these words in Frozen, she may have been belting out lyrics about her super scary ice powers…


… or she may have been coming out of the closet as a lesbian.


There are movie goers who believe the latter, and who have been pushing for Disney to give Elsa a girlfriend in the upcoming Frozen sequel.


Might this actually happen?


Writer and co-director Jennifer Lee has chimed in on these rumors, which has prompted quite the outcry on Twitter.


Scroll down for the full story…




1. Is Elsa Actually Gay?!?

Lee won’t say, but she’s aware of the chatter and told The Huffington Post the following: “Where we’re going with it, we have tons of conversations about it, and we’re really conscientious about these things. For me … Elsa’s every day telling me where she needs to go, and she’ll continue to tell us. I always write from character-out, and where Elsa is and what Elsa’s doing in her life, she’s telling me every day. We’ll see where we go.”



2. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend

Long before Lee even made this comment, there was a viral movement to give Elsa a girlfriend in Frozen 2. This is one strong reason why.



3. Fire and Ice?


Gf please

See, some fans have a very clear idea of exactly how they want this same-sex hookup to go.



4. On the Other, Less Tolerant Hand…


No gf

… some folks out there are simply NOT having this idea. They’ve made some pretty strong statements against it.



5. Well, on This Hand…


Idk

… and on THAT hand. As you can see, the possibility of a lesbian Elsa has many parents very confused how to react.



6. Do It, Disney!


Great idea

Thankfully, many parents out there believe this move would serve as inspiration to many young people out there, those who are struggling with certain LGBT-related questions.

Emoji Movie Mocks Handmaid’s Tale, Much to Twitter"s Chagrin


The Emoji Movie tells the story of a fictional city called Textopolis that is hidden inside of all smartphones.


Each emoji has only a single facial expression, except for Gene, an exuberant emoji with multiple expressions.


We won"t spoil the rest of the film for you, except to say that this really is the basis for an actual movie.


In promoting the unusual cartoon, producers Tweeted a photo of an emoji wearing the outfit of a main character from Hulu"s drama The Handmaid’s Tale… and Internet users were simply NOT having it.


Not when The Handmaid’s Tale centers on a totalitarian state that treats women as pieces of property.


Scroll down to see what critics had to say about this misguided parody…




1. The Tweet That Started It All


The tweet that started it all

Blessed by the Emoji? You should not have gone there, The Emoji Movie.



2. What is The Handmaid’s Tale About?


What is the handmaids tale about

The Handmaid’s Tale tells the story of society in which women have no rights and are literally given to men to be used as breeding machines. This is why the parody didn’t go over well on Twitter, as you’re about to find out…



3. Take It Away, Twitter!


And go

Elisabeth Moss stars on the Hulu drama, so you can be damn sure she has something to say about this mockery of it.



4. There’s a Lot of Rape on the Show


Theres a lot of rape on the show

The folks behind The Emoji Movie may not be aware of this.



5. We All Know the Answer to This Question


We all know the answer to this question

It’s no.



6. Is It Too Late to Delete That Tweet?


Is it too late to delete that tweet

Nevermind. This is the Internet. You can never really delete anything.
