Frozen lambasted as pro-gay propaganda by (batshit crazy hateful) Christian pastor

Disney animation accused of indoctrinating five-year-olds into lesbianism and bestiality on Colorado-based Christian radio show

Frozen, the Oscar-winning Disney cartoon adapted from Hans Christian Andersen, is a vehicle for pro-gay propaganda as well a promoting bestiality, according to a Christian radio show in Colorado.

Pastor Kevin Swanson of the Reformation Church, who hosts Generations Radio, denounced the film as "very evil", and that Disney was "one of the most pro-homosexual organisations in the country".

Swanson said: "You wonder sometimes if maybe there's something very evil happening here ... I wonder if people are thinking: 'You know I think this cute little movie is going to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian or treat homosexuality or bestiality in a light sort of way.'"

He also characterised Disney as a satanic company, saying: "If I was the Devil, what would I do to really foul up an entire social system and do something really, really, really evil to 5- and 6- and 7-year-olds in Christian families around America?... If I was the Devil, I would buy Disney in 1984."

Swanson's broadside was inspired by a blog on the National Catholic Register entitled So, How Gay IS Disney's Frozen? in which the NCR's film critic Steven D Greydanus had argued the film is full of "gay-culture themes". These include the solitary nature of the protagonist Elsa, her lack of interest in her male suitors, and the Oscar-winning song Let It Go. which shows Elsa "celebrating her acceptance of her true identity". Greydanus also points to a brief glimpse of a "gay family", that belonging to trading post owner Oaken.

This latest controversy follows suggestions that Frozen might be Disney's most pro-Christian movie of recent times. Swanson has a long record of decrying what he sees as pro-gay and lesbian culture, including claiming that Christians will be burned at the stake as a result of same sex marriage.

I don't want to burn this fuckwad at the stake. I think he's suffer more if forced to watch 'The Fosters', Frozen, other Disney Films and South Park non-stop. for the next 50 years

I may not be a fan of corporate Disney, but this is utter bullshit on par with Pat Robertson saying Katrina was God's punishment for the gays in NOLA. THEY WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO RAISE DONATIONS TO PAY FOR THEIR 5th HOUSE AND LEAR JET!!!
