And if you’re like some fans, you’re kinda hoping she’s gay.
In 2016, fans started a grassroots social media campaign urging for Frozen’s sequel to Elsa a girlfriend. There was a #GiveElsaAGirlfriend hashtag campaign with more than 10,000 tweets.
And Frozen director Chris Buck didn’t immediately shut down the idea. “We will tackle other issues that, I think, are out there today that boys and girls, men and women, are dealing with,” he told MTV News in a 2015 interview.

Well! In an interview on Monday with the Huffington Post, Frozen co-director Jennifer Lee said she’s also not opposed to a potential same-sex love story for Elsa.

“We have tons of conversations about it, and we’re really conscientious about these things,” Lee said. “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.”

Of course, fans are so excited.
The film is slated to be released in 2019, so stay tuned, and fingers crossed we’re getting a gay Elsa.
