Something can be a metaphor for more than one thing, without necessarily making it bad storytelling, IMO.

The message of Elsa's story is "if you force your child to hide who she is, bad stuff will happen." It can be seen as a pretty obvious metaphor for being a lesbian and being forced into the closet. It can also be seen as a metaphor for/depiction of what people with mental illness endure. That doesn't devalue the message AS SUCH - if anything, a story that a great variety of people can relate to is a good story, esp. if you're going for mass appeal like Disney are.
