FTFY.
My thought is that this woman is dumb. Very, very dumb. While it's true that the lyrics to 'Let It Go' can be loosely applicable to the plight of homosexuals who are forced to keep their identities secret, the word 'propaganda' implies that it was made for the specific purpose of promoting that message, and any sane person could tell you that it wasn't. It's an adaptation of a Scandinavian fairy tale, FFS.
The idea that it 'promotes' lesbianism is laughable, since the bond between Anna and Elsa is familial, not romantic. Other than that, I can't think of anything that 'normalizes' homosexuality (which IS normal, so you can take your heteronormative preconceptions and shove them up your ass) (that's directed at the woman in the article, not you, OP).

National Catholic Register writer Steven Greydanus (who actually questioned Frozen’s gayness back in January) not only saw the rejected Elsa as a symbol for oppressed gay people, he also points out that Elsa, unlike her boycrazy sister, shows no interest in dating, so clearly she is a lesbian.

That doesn't make any sense. If she was a lesbian, wouldn't she be interested in dating, you know, women? If anything, it suggests that she's asexual. Or, you know, maybe it's because not every female character has to have her character arc centered around a romantic relationship.

Frozen is a feminist movie, claimed some critics, because neither of its female protagonists are rescued by a handsome prince in the end but, rather, they save themselves. Frozen is not so feminist, others argued, because Elsa’s climactic “coming out,” if you will, includes an arguably sexy makeover.

I've actually seen that argument made by feminists on Tumblr, and good GOD, talk about making a big deal out of nothing. 'Sexy'? Really? Why, because she lets her hair down and pulls off her gloves? What is this, the 1870s?
