Look, I'd be happy if we could get a brave, independent, non-offensively-skinny, non-obsessively-boy-crazy princess who isn't then Photoshopped for sex appeal. HLN: Meet Disney's first same-sex couple! While it appears that there is a gay family depicted in Disney's latest film, 'Frozen,' and there are six other reasons why 'Frozen' may be the most forward-looking Disney film yet, the film still continues a long and unbroken chain of hetero-normative children's movies.

At least single fathers get better treatment ('Pinocchio' and 'Beauty and the Beast'). Laws prohibiting interracial marriage were struck down by the Supreme Court in 1967, but as far as I know, there has still not been a biracial or multiracial family at the center of a Disney film (though at least Sofia the First is potentially a teeny-weeny step in the right direction).Дespite the fact that one in four children in the United States today is being raised by a single parent, single moms in Disney movies are mostly portrayed as evil (think 'Cinderella' and 'Snow White'). And yes, Disney movies are political, too - from the decision that all the female characters should have one-inch waistlines to the idea that princes are heroes and princesses need saving to the fact that all Disney princesses were white until Mulan, Jasmine and Tiana came along.Д¬hoices about what families are portrayed or excluded in Disney movies, and children's movies in particular, are political. Women's necklines and hemlines are conscious decisions about gender and sexuality made by the fashion industry. The rise of Mackelmore or Jay Z is as much about talent as a calculation on the part of the record industry to factor in race. And so, since conservatives are jonesing for a conversation about this, let's have at it!Д¬ulture with a capital-C is political. And my tweet was reposted and condemned on several conservative websites, from Twitchy to Breitbart's Big Hollywood and more. Reactions ranged from 'children do not need to be indoctrinated into your pro-dyke anti-natural family propaganda' to 'Kids movies should be off limits to far left ideology.' Some even accused me of being a pedophile. But come on ain't it finally time for a kid's film where the princess marries a princess?!- Sally Kohn January 25, 2014 Saturday evening, while watching the Disney animated film 'Frozen' with my 5-year-old daughter, I tweeted: 'Does Hollywood exclude women and people of color in powerful director and producer roles more than other facets of American business and society? Probably not, but who cares? That doesn't make the critique any less worth leveling.' What I was doing was accusing our dominant cultural institution in America of at the very least failing to challenge the implicit biases of society in general and at worst replicating them. However, conservatives interpreted the question as though I was blaming them for implicit racial bias in Hollywood. This was a question to conservatives about how they would otherwise explain the lack of black Oscar-winning and nominated directors and producers, if they don't attribute it to racism. Among other things, they accused me of playing the race card - echoing a very contorted line of conservative idea that liberals who call out racism in society are actually the racists.Д¬onservatives, do u not attribute lack of black Oscar winners to implicit racial bias? And if not, then what?- Sally Kohn January 23, 2014 Some people on Twitter criticized my argument. I wrote about how pathetic it is that historically, most Oscar-winning directors and producers have been white men - and how this reflects implicit bias more broadly in Hollywood and our society in general.
