The House of Mouse has been talked about a lot this year with regards to how the studio has continued to handle queer representation on the big screen. Marvel&#;s Captain Marvel film initiated an interesting conversation. Then we had that debacle with Avengers: Endgamefeaturing a gay character no one noticed. And now, we have Frozen 2.

Ever since Queen Elsa graced cinema screens around the world in &#;s Frozen, certain audience members were quick to pick up on the queer subtext surrounding her character. The film gave us the &#;Let It Go&#; (queer?) power anthem and the fact she didn&#;t own a romantic interest in the entire movie. 

For people starving to see actual queer representation

Why Elsa doesn't have a love story, gay or otherwise, in 'Frozen 2'

Ever since "Frozen" premiered in , people in the LGBTQ community have create Queen Elsa's story to be a powerful allegory for queer identity, and hoped she might be given a gay affection interest in the coming sequel.

But Elsa doesn't verb any type of quixotic partner in the upcoming movie, despite the widespread fan theories about her sexuality. 

"When we agreed to do the sequel, we agreed we were going to not build it [from] the outside in," codirector Jennifer Lee said in an interview with Insider at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California this past September. "We just couldn't do it."

Lee and her codirector Chris Buck, along with producer Peter Del Vecho, first started thinking about the story for "Frozen 2" about three years ago.
