Actress Idina Menzel, who voices the popular character of Elsa in "Frozen," has reacted positively to the petition #GiveElsaAGirlfriend, asking for the Disney princess to have a female love interest in the sequel.
The 44-year-old actress feels it is a great idea to have Elsa falling for a girl, reported ET online.
"I think it's great. Disney's just gotta contend with that. I'll let them figure that out. No matter what. Elsa changed my life," Menzel said.
The campaign, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend, has gone viral. It all started when teen Alexis Isabel recently tweeted "I hope Disney makes Elsa a lesbian princess imagine how iconic that would be." She followed that by tweeting "Dear @Disney, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend."
The idea took off, and now fans are clamoring for "Frozen 2" to be used as a vehicle to raise LGBT awareness.
