(UPDATED) Disney staffers take to streets and social media in DisneyWalkout over company’s reaction to ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

Kennedy said, “As women, artists of color, LGBTQ and differently labeled artists and producers, who have fought for and won a place at the table, propelling our community toward more inclusive, diverse, richer, more sophisticated and nuanced sense of responsibilities for social, racial and economic justice.”Disney hit the pause button on it’s big wig retreat set for next week in yet another response to the ongoing crisis.

This latest retreat, pun intended, comes after a self-described “worst week” at the House of Mouse that finally led to a “sorry” from Chapek after initially refuting the worth of corporate statements on political events and legislation.In fact, on March 9, the Human Rights Campaign, America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization, announced it will not accept any more funding from Disney without a greater commitment to LGBTQ+ rights.

Poised to be signed by potential 2024 Presidential candidate DeSantis the “Don’t Say Gay” bill that effectively bans virtually all discussion or teaching about the LGBTQ+ community and “sexual orientation or gender identity” in the state’s public school system from kindergarten to the 3rd Grade.
