Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Disney says it will stop doing business in Georgia if the governor signs a bill that critics say discriminates against gays. The Georgia legislature recently passed a controversial piece of legislation, sending it to Republican Governor Nathan Deal for his signature. The bill would give religious officials in the state the option to refuse to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies and for tax-funded groups to deny services to gay people. The Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights advocacy group, like other critics of the bill have called it "anti-LGBT" and "appalling." Now Disney (DIS) -- along with its Marvel Studios -- is saying they will halt film and television production in Georgia if the bill is signed into law. Marvel has filmed the action hero movies "Civil War" and "Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2" at Pinewood Studios outside of Atlanta. "Disney and Marvel are inclusive companies, and although we have had great experiences filming in Georgia, we will plan to take our business elsewhere should any legislation allowing discriminatory practices be signed into state law," a spokesperson for Disney said Wednesday. The Human Rights Campaign said that the film industry generates $6 billion for Georgia's economy, and recently called on Hollywood to halt production in the state if the bill is passed.

It's called the Kingdom Hearts series. 5 minutes ago, Red said: I react like this when Disney has a long history of homophobia and suddenly they are "trying to help" You act like this has never happened ever. Not to mention, it's Disney, AND Marvel. If I remember correctly, Marvel does have a nice amount of gay superheroes (and isn't one of the main characters of the news series also LGBT? or there's at least a lot of ho yay?) And doesn't Disney have at least some control over the Once Upon a Time series, where Mulan is portrayed as a lesbian? People can change, things can change, even if it's quick and sudden.

Call me when Mulan actually has a female love interest. You know why there never was and there never will be a gay prince, "it's not an issue for children, parents would never allow", uhum, oh yeah. Also call me when the male villains stop being effeminate 4 minutes ago, just4fun said: Suddenly? Where are you from? Disney has had gay days since before I can remember.

Good for their employees, what about gay boys and lesbian girls that are constantly bombarded with the message you need to find a person of the opposite gender and live happily forever after?
