Christian radio host: Disney’s ‘Frozen’ is Satanic tool for ‘indoctrinating’ young lesbians

By David Edwards
Monday, March 10, 2014 10:54 EDT

Religious right-wing radio host Kevin Swanson used the animated film Frozen as his argument for attacking Disney’s opposition to the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on gay troop leaders, in audio published by Right Wing Watch on Monday.

“Friends, this is evil, just evil,” Swanson said. “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.’ I wonder if the average parent going to see Frozen is thinking that way. I wonder if they are just walking in and saying, ‘Yeah, let’s get my five-year-old and seven-year-old indoctrinated early.’”

Contrary to Swanson’s argument, though, the film does not focus on any same-sex pairing, instead focusing on the relationship between two sisters, Princess Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Princess Anna (Kristen Bell).

While insisting he was not a “tinfoil hat conspiratorialist,” Swanson also wondered aloud if “something very evil” was surrounding the movie.

“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?” Swanson asked Steve Vaughn.

“I would make a movie,” Vaughn replied.

“I would buy Disney,” Swanson continued. “If I was the Devil, I would buy Disney in 1984, that’s what I would have done.”

The end result of the “indoctrination,” Swanson said, was a fracturing of society.

“The Boy Scouts are the fault line, you got six percent leaving, you got Disney pulling funding,” he said. “This is fracturing our society and I can see how it might, I can see how some parents might be very strong, they don’t want their children indoctrinated in any way into the lifestyle of sodomy.”

Listen to Swanson’s remarks, as posted by Right Wing Watch on Monday, below.

Funny, I thought the devil bought Disney in 1981, thus explaining "The Fox and the Hpund" - but I guess 1984 works - it explains hte box office performance of The Black Caudron

And since I'm a lesbian, and have gone to Disneyland many times through the years. I'm thinking the pirates in tights was my "signal". Perhaps some of those pirates were really women in disguise, or AKA butches.

This level of unhinged-ness is pitiful and frightening all at once. Are all these folks off their psychotropic meds? Reading the remarks was painful enough. I'll have to pass on listening. It might put me over the edge

Back in 1996-2005 the AFA (and James Dobson's Focus on the Family also) boycotted them for including same sex partners in their benefits plan. Ranting and raving about how they were promoting a "homosexual agenda" and other such lunacy. Now this wacky Patriarchal Fundamentalist homeschooling asshole comes out with this new hate?! If I recall correctly this is the same weirdo who claimed some wild sexist crap about the Hunger Games movie. This man doesn't just drink the Kool-Aid he's been baptized in it!

I'd become a religious right-wing radio host. One with a nice wholesome American sounding name, like Kevin Swanson.

The movie featured the same casual promotion of heterosexuality that every other Disney movie has (not that there's a problem with that) but then again I just watched the G-rated version of the movie, so this person must have watched a different version. Oh yeah, the movie did talk about accepting oneself as they are and being free to show everybody that they're not ashamed of themselves anymore ("Let it Go&quot . I guess that self-acceptance is one of those "gateway" concepts that often leads one to a desire to express their true being without shame and that's evil, right? Totally spaced out on that one.
