After a campaign was started to give Elsa from “Frozen” a girlfriend, fans are now pushing for the first LGBT Disney character to be in Marvel’s “Captain America.”
Captain America — Steve Rogers — ends up with his late girlfriend’s niece in the latest film, “Civil War,” leading fans to pose the question, “because in what world is dating your dead girlfriend's niece more acceptable than dating a guy?”
The Twitter campaign #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend reached more than 54,000 tweets on Tuesday.
And there’s much speculation that Rogers should end up with Bucky Barnes, rather than Sharon Carter.
It seems their friendship is more romance than bromance, according to fans.
And if it doesn’t work out with Bucky, there’s always fellow superhero, Iron Man — at least that’s some wishful thinking by those on social media.
The major push for an LGBT character stems from a recent GLAAD report that discovered Disney has the weakest historical record for LGBT-inclusive films.
“In 2015, Walt Disney Studios released 11 films, of which 0 included appearances by LGBT people, amounting to 0%,” the report read.
