She's OK with it: Idina Menzel, who voices Princess Elsa in Frozen, is fine with her character having a girlfriend in the sequel, the 44-year-old said during an interview at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas
'Disney's just gotta contend with that. I'll let them figure that out.'
The actress spoke out at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas when asked about #GiveElsaAGirlfriend, tweeted by Feminist Culture founder Alexis Isabel Moncada in April, according to USA Today.
It has snowballed with support coming in from the LGBTQ community.

That may mean some changes to the storyline.
Kristen Bell, who voices Princess Anna, told Collider in March that the script is still being worked on.
'They’ve just written it and they’re still doing tweaks, but I think we should be recording this month,' said the 35-year-old, who was also at the Billboard Awards.
Not set in ice: Kristen Bell, who voices Princess Anna, was also at the awards. The 35-year-old revealed in March that Disney was still tinkering with Frozen 2's script but that she was due in the studio to start recording
'The story is great, and they exude quality. What I know about that whole team is that they wouldn’t just put something out to put it out.
'That’s why it took them so long to even announce that we were doing a second one.'
Disney has yet to set a release date for Frozen 2 but fans can catch up with Elsa, Anna and their pals in a ride based on the original movie, which opens this summer at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
