Feminist Culture founder Alexis Isabel recently began a movement asking that Disney give FROZEN's Queen Elsa a girlfriend in the next installment of the hit animated film.

Using the hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend, Twitter blew up on Saturday night as fans helped to propel the momentum of the movement which began as a post for MTV.

Isabel explains, "Growing up, I never saw a princess fall in love with another princess - and neither have girls growing up right now. The entertainment industry has given us girls who have fallen in love with beasts, ogres who fall for humans, and even grown women who love bees. But we've never been able to see the purity in a queer relationship."

She also shares her BELIEF that Elsa's struggle to hide her identity from the world in the blockbuster film was actually a metaphor for the 'coming out' struggle experienced by many in the LGBT community. The theory gives new meaning to the film's hit song, 'Let It Go.'

Says Isabel, "Giving young girls the chance to understand that a princess can love another princess the same way Cinderella loved her Prince Charming is vital to their development."
