Back when the then-CEO of Disney didn't voice his opposition to Florida's Parental Rights in Education Law, Disney employees were so upset that they had to hold a special all-hands meeting to clarify the company's position. One producer tried to calm people down by assuring them that she was "adding queerness" wherever she could:
SCOOP: I've obtained video from inside Disney's all-hands meeting about the Florida parental rights bill, in which executive producer Latoya Raveneau says her team has implemented a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" and is regularly "adding queerness" to children's programming. pic.twitter.com/eJnZMpKIXT

Disney corporate president Karey Burke, who has one transgender child and one pansexual child, called for "a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities."
Disney CEO disputes that there's no "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" — he maintains that it's not Disney's job "to advance any kind of agenda."

Caitlin Huston writes:
Asked whether Disney would stay out of politics, CEO Bob Iger said that the company is not out to “advance any kind of agenda,” but rather is focused on entertainment.
“Our job is to entertain first and foremost, and by telling great stories, we continue to have a positive impact on the world and inspire future generations, just as we’ve done for over 100 years. Disney has always been and will continue to be a source of hope, joy and optimism for people of all ages. We’re committed to telling stories that reflect the world around us and using those stories to entertain people from all walks of life,” Iger said during the company’s annual shareholder meeting Wednesday.

Disney under Iger specifically and pointedly made it their job to advance a left wing political agenda, got hammered for it financially, and now Iger says we’re all making it up

It’s just endless gaslighting to distract from his own mistakes and failures https://t.co/2NNjPvy5vT
To be fair it really got ramped up in the few years he was gone.

Is that a new rule he will be implementing?

He may want to look at the content they've produced and the statements/videos his employees have been putting out.

🤣 Tell that the myriad employees working only to "queer up" or race swap every character in every Disney story.

Disney is losing millions on millions on all their woke trash productions. Eventually they’ll get the picture…

Shareholder Chloe Cole wanted to know why Disney will pay for an employee to transition but not to detransition:
Just got off the phone from the @Disney annual shareholders meeting.

I needed to call out Bob Iger and the rest of the board’s hypocrisy and the dangerous lies they feed to us through the media.
Here is what I said: pic.twitter.com/OxQOgPNvoi
Good for you Chloe!

Good on you for fighting for what's right, duty of care, and for the health and safety of our kids.
