Disney to still back ‘don’t say gay’ legislators

[BUtterfield 8 41,816]

The Orlando Sentinel reported that Disney has given money to every single sponsor and co-sponsor of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which was passed by Florida’s House of Representatives February 24. Officially titled the House Bill 1557, the proposed law is heading to the state’s Republican-held Senate next.

Disney will not stop funding Baxley and other Florida Republican politicians who support this bill. Instead Disney released this statement: “We understand how important this issue is to our LGBTQ+ employees and many others,” the Walt Disney Company stated, via Good Morning America. “For nearly a century, Disney has been a unifying force that brings people together. We are determined that it remains a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”

The statement continues, “The biggest impact we can have in creating a more inclusive world is through the inspiring content we produce, the welcoming culture we create here, and the diverse community organizations we support, including those representing the LGBTQ+ community.”

Exactly this. Remember where companies are actually putting their money when they're faking being woke during pride month

I guess way more people were, during his lifetime. Maybe he wouldn't be today.

Also I'm still kinda shocked about the story about Jodie Benson being homophobic. I don't know if it's true.

I think this is an important point. It's not an excuse, but Disney lived in a different era with different views and morals. Despite not always feeling this way, we've made some progress as society when it comes to those topics.

Disney: making more money at the expense of the LGBTQ community knowing this bill will harm kids but sure money and content is more important. Disney can’t even name one gay character with a full storyline.
