LOS ANGELES, May 25 — The pressure certainly seems on for Disney and Marvel to deliver a better LGBT representation with fans starting a #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend campaign, a similar vein to the Frozen campaign #GiveElsaAGirlfriend.
Yup apparently, the Internet really wants Captain America and Elsa to have same-sex partners. The hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend was trending earlier this month as part of a campaign that pushed for Elsa to have a lady love interest in the Frozen sequel.
Yesterday, the Twitterverse was abuzz with a similar campaign demanding that Captain America get the love he truly deserves — though most fans insisted that Cap already has a boyfriend: Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier.
Marvel fans laid out all the reasons why they think Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers could benefit from an onscreen boyfriend using the hashtag #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend. Here are just some of the things shared:
I will say that Cap/Bucky have the best love story in any of the Marvel movies. #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend pic.twitter.com/3fej4FDPUU
