In an interview with The Huffington Post, Jennifer Lee—the co-director of the upcoming sequel—revealed that Disney is having ‘tons of conversations’ about the fans who want to see the blockbuster’s lead character, Elsa, find a female lover.
The animated film’s protagonist is voiced by Idina Menzel, who sings the film’s hit song, Let It Go.

While Lee’s revelation isn’t official, it offers hope for the possibility of a LGBTQ story line.
Lee told The Huffington Post: ‘I love everything people are saying [and] people are thinking about with our film – that it’s creating dialogue, that Elsa is this wonderful character that speaks to so many people, It means the world to us that we’re part of these conversations.
‘Where we’re going with it, we have tons of conversations about it, and we’re really conscientious about these things.’

She explained: ‘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.’
