Disney announced last week that it will work to repeal Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' new Parental Rights in Education law because the company is dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of the LGBTQ+ community.
DeSantis signed the bill into law last week. Critics have depicted the legislation as hurtful to LGBTQ inclusiveness and dubbed it the "Don't Say Gay" bill. Walt Disney Television Entertainment President Karey Burke addressed the press at the 2019 TCA Winter Press Tour at The Langham Huntington, in Pasadena, Calif.
"Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law," the Disney statement said. "Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that."itself mentions the word "gay.
The bill also requires procedures for schools to discuss matters of "mental, emotional or physical health or well-being" with parents.
DBChirpy They are not queerer, they just grew up in society that was free to be who they were created to be. People are not more queer or straight now. It’s just that freedom, the liberty to express that freedom has come to the forefront. It’s not just Disney, its all of us.
Let’s not forget that the leader of the republican party is a Putin worshiping, 9 x bankrupt, twice impeached ex president who tried to overthrow our democracy. Think about that for a second.
Do they realize, being called 'queer' is offensive to 99% of people?
Oddly her name is Karey. Very close to Karen.
This attitude will prevail till growth and sales start to slip or even flatten. Corporate boards investors demand positive returns .....activism is not a success criterion. Activism dies with diminishing returns.
Well Disney better increase it's prices again. I see a lack of business coming it's way. Family's don't want to see 'queerer' ... Ever.
This is why we MUST BOYCOTT everything Disney.
Crazy how the push to sexual kids hasn’t been stopped yet. Now mix that with a new supreme court justice who goes easy on pedos. And your letting it happen
This woman is dangerous
They want to recruit your children and turn them all into faggots. Will your child be next?
