Elsa: Queer of Arendelle?!

Disney’s Frozen brought many to the cold side with its catchy soundtrack, beautiful animation, and charismatic characters when it debuted in theaters late 2013. The movie’s run had not even come to an end before fans were already enthusiastically discussing ideas for potential sequels. But one Twitter user’s dream for the future continuation has become a widely trending topic as of late....

Yep, that’s right! What started as a hopeful tweet from Alexis Isabel, AKA @lexiforprez, the idea to #GiveElsaAGirlfriend has now created a full-force debacle between those who are opposed to or in favor of the idea.

Obviously, I’m all for it. Not just because I’m a huge Disney fanatic, but because I think this kind of inclusion is incredibly necessary and promotes a very positive and progressive message to viewers.

In my next post, I’m going to go into more detail on my personal opinion of why I’m in support of a lesbian princess. Then, I want to respond to some of the arguments I’ve seen that are opposed to the idea of a lesbian princess.

Stay tuned for these continuations!

"5 Reasons I Choose to Call Myself Queer"

I did a post some time back about the term "queer", and how it is viewed in the LGBTQIA+ community. A friend of mine shared this article on Facebook, and I found it went quite well with what I touched on before when discussing those in the community who are in favor of using the word "queer".

An Update

"It's been a while."

No, I have certainly not abandoned this blog. Although my lack of posts recently may have had some of you concerned over this (if anyone is even still reading these posts now).

I took a little break from all-things school related after the semester. Although I have to admit, I thought about this blog more than a handful of times. I guess Dr. Wignall was right (as always)...I've found my true passion and now putting up the blog seemed like something much more appealing than "school work". Even if it did begin that way.

However the main reason for my absence is that I've done a little crazy. Back home in AZ I had a stable home, a secure job, a steady income, a great education, barely had any bills to pay...I really had it going for me.

But despite all that, I decided to move to Virginia.

I came out to Virginia to visit a friend and fell in love with more than just the place. At 22 year old it is safe to say I've spent all those years living for everyone else around me. I've always been too afraid to do anything spontaneous or reckless out of fear of how it would effect or dissapoint the adults in my life. I've always been the smart, responsible, safe one who makes logical choices over those that are what I truly want to do.

But I decided it was about time to say screw that. So here I am. I quit my job and switched to online school and decided to stay here with my boyfriend (more info on this coming soon). I know the adventure won't be easy, but I'm confident it will be rewarding.

And with that being said - if anyone knows any job opportunities in the Hampton area feel free to help a person out ;)
