Disney Investors Overwhelmingly REJECT Anti LGBTQ+ Agenda On Current Meeting

[RAMROD 117,062]

Disney investors on Thursday voted down a proposal that the entertainment giant cease its participation in a prominent LGBTQ rights organization’s equality ratings program.

The proposal — requesting that Disney “cease” its participation in the Human Rights Campaign’s annual Corporate Equality Index — was submitted by right-wing think tank National Center for Public Policy Research, through its Free Enterprise Project initiative. (The FEP calls itself “the original and premier opponent of the woke takeover of American corporate life.”)

“When corporations take extreme positions, they destroy shareholder value by alienating large portions of their customers and investors. This proposal provides Disney with an opportunity to move back to neutral,” the FEP’s proposal stated. It noted that since 2007, Disney has received a “perfect score” on the CEI, “which can only be attained by abiding by its partisan, divisive and increasingly radical criteria.”

In its proposal, the NCPPR’s Free Enterprise Project took particular aim at trans-rights efforts backed by HRC and others “like GLSEN, the Trevor Project and GLAAD” that the conservative group claimed “seek to sow gender confusion in children, encourage irreversible surgical procedures on confused teens, effectively eliminate girls’ and women’s sports and bathrooms, and roll back longstanding religious liberties.” The proposal also alleged that “Disney disastrously engaged in such activism when it inserted itself in the middle of a divisive public debate over the Parental Rights in Education Act,” referring to Disney’s opposition to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law in 2022.

Disney’s board recommended voting against the proposal to end its participation in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index. Shareholders concurred, with only 1% of shares voted in favor the proposal, according to the preliminary tally.

In its opposing statement, the board said in part, “Given the Company’s existing practices to assess participation in transparency efforts and the Board’s oversight of ESG [environmental, social and governance] reporting, workforce equity matters and human rights policies, we do not believe this proposal would provide additional value to shareholders.”
 

In a statement, Eric Bloem, VP of corporate citizenship at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, said: “This vote gives us a clear statement of values from Disney’s shareholders. They know what we know — that despite all the noise, commitments to inclusion pay figurative dividends and help their literal bottom line.”

Thursday’s vote rejecting the anti-HRC proposal comes after Disney last month scaled back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies — as other companies also have done in the wake of the Trump administration’s aggressive push to eliminate DEI government and private-sector initiatives. In Disney’s case, the company announced that it was ending “Reimagine Tomorrow,” an initiative intended to promote stories from underrepresented communities.

In December 2023, Disney announced that, “Building on its legacy of workplace inclusion and support for the broader LGBTQIA+ community, The Walt Disney Company received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2023-24 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQIA+ workplace equality.”

And yet Disney still axed a trans character in their recent Pixar release…

Why are groups like “National Center for Public Policy Research” so fixated on what tax paying citizens want to do with their own lives? Let people be gay or trans or whatever they want, it’s their FREEDOM!

 

I applaud Disney shareholders for standing up to these ignorant a holes. They did it before with DoucheSantis so I’m glad they stand up to these hateful idiots. 
 

Plenty of gays and allies work in the arts so how can these moronic groups not realize how many LGBT ppl the company employs.
 

Bob Gurr is responsible for so many classic attractions and, though he wasn’t out to Walt, Bob said that Walt simply didn’t care.  He was also a hottie back in the day.

So about that.. they didn't axe the character, they axed obvious their trans traits, like the dead name on the hat, some trans-related dialogue and so on, but when I watched the episode, I could tell from the first moment that the character is trans.

I'm not saying that Bob Iger's decision is correct, it's not (which the investors has no much to say about it so it's irrelevant for the thread), but Pixar secretly managed to keep a trans character in their project under Bob Iger's nose.

 

But for me personally, the moment Hollywood became more inclusive, it was the moment Holluwood showed how they have no idea what inclusivity is, so they ended up being more racist and more homophobic but just with POC and LGBTQ+ characters.

Right Wingers really have very little intellect. They shot their own point down.

"Corporations who take an extreme stance alienate their consumers" "return to a neutral stance"

Equality IS neutral. Inequality is not, inequality is an extreme stance.

 

Honestly, if youre a right winger just.. stop talking. You are making a severe fool of yourself.
