Disney Executive Producer admits to actively trying to "add queerness" and a "not-at-all-secret gay agenda"

[Captain Morgan Sparrow]

I'm not commenting one way or another, but just giving you their own words and statements....



Disney 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.

Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, "as the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child," she supports having "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities.

Disney production coordinator Allen March says his team is committed to "exploring queer stories" and has created a "tracker" to make sure they are creating enough "gender nonconforming characters," "canonical trans characters," and "canonical bisexual characters."

Disney diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware says the company has eliminated all mentions of "ladies," "gentlemen," "boys," and "girls" in its theme parks in order to create "that magical moment" for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles.

Good for them. Inclusion is a good thing.

The way some states in our country are trying to criminalize these folks lives is shameful.

Let people live how they want too.

Disney has almost always been friendly for the gay community.

It's not some conspiracy - ART imitates LIFE!

So proud of Disney, love the inclusion!

Nice!! Some steps in the right direction- hope it's not just words.

Love to see it! Great going Disney, keep up the inclusion.

 

[Jennasis]

Woohoo! Way to go Disney!

I love this "Scoop" by a "conservative activist" lol. Lots of important activism to be done in the conservative community, clearly, when this is what they have to run with .

Good for Disney.

That's the most ridiculous I've read in a long time! The groups she's talking about do not represent that large of a portion of the community so why should they represent that big of a section of people in the stories? Did things going to run everyone with normal off!

What percentage do you think minorities represent in American society?

Spoiler alert, it's more than you think. Combined with LGBTQIA+, it IS close to 50%, if not more.

And, for what it's worth, America isn't the only country in the world (I know you know that - just pointing it out for others). There's a reason people reflect on the Global Majority to dismiss the term "minorities".

And, yet again, disabilities, especially mobility limitations, deaf, and vision-impaired, are not considered and represented.

How many current TV shows have anyone with a significant disabilities?

yes, there was one person with a mobility/hearing/vision disability recognized at the Oscars. One.

Personally, I think Rufo did some creative editing, because the whole thing seems WAY over the top. I suspect a little digging and you could discredit most of the “evidence “ he’s putting forth.

Rufo is an activist and a borderline propagandist, but this is real.

Disney upset their progressive cast members, and now they're over-correcting and making it clear that politically conservative cast members are not welcome at the company.

Rufo is an activist but not a propagandist, unless we count all news media at this point. Everyone has a bias. He doesn't make stuff up, he receives actual documents and meetings about all sorts of topics - not just this one.

I still suspect creative editing. This is just too extreme & weird. The only sites covering Rufo’s big “expose” aren’t straight news sites. If word for word those executives said all of that, major tv & print media would cover it. I’ll be checking my WSJ carefully for a few days.

It's got nothing to do with political views of cast members it got to do with their morals (or lack of).

I'm sorry but that is hard for me to believe - major news sites haven't covered actual important, critical news over the last few years. They then come out a year or two later and say "oh yeah, that did happen".

There are no straight news sites.

I just checked the WSJ searching for Chris Rufo expose on Disney executives - nothing showed. Then tried Disney executives and got articles on the CEO and his response to Florida’s bill, worker walkouts etc… but nothing close to what Rufo is putting out. Unless it shows up in actual news media, it doesn’t hold it to scrutiny. We’ll see what happens.
