Disney Wants At Least HALF Future Characters To Be LGBTQ Or Minorities

Walt Disney’s General Entertainment President has vowed that at least half of the characters in the company’s productions would be played by LGBTQ or minority actors by the end of the year.

According to The Mail Online:

General entertainment president Karey Burke choked up during a company-wide Zoom call Monday, saying the issue hit close to home because of her children.

‘I’m here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,’ she said.

During the same all-hands meeting, television animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau gushed about Disney’s inclusivity.

‘Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-so-secret gay agenda,’ she said. ‘Where ever I could I was adding queerness to. No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.’ 

Videos from the meeting were leaked to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, who first reported them on Twitter.

The Mickey Mouse company has been roiled by protests, counter-protests and walkouts after Florida Gov. Ronald DeSantis signed the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill into law.

The legislature bans teaching kids lessons on sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation ‘in a manner that is not age appropriate.’

‘I have heard so much from so many of my colleagues over the past few weeks in open forums, through emails and phone conversations,’ Burke said. ‘I feel a responsibility to speak not just for my self but also for [my kids].’

She defended 20th Century Fox as ‘the home of really incredible, groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years.’

But she said that it hasn’t been inclusive enough. 

 ‘One of our execs stood up and said, ‘You know we only have a handful of queer leads in our content,’ Burke said. ‘I went, ‘What? That can’t be true. And then I realized it is true.’

The company has launched a campaign called ‘Reimagine Tomorrow’ with the goal to represent more minority groups.

‘By 2022, 50% of regular and recurring characters across Disney General Entertainment scripted content will come from underrepresented groups,’ according to the ‘Reimagine’ promotional material.

The so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, signed into law by Florida governor DeSantis, was only necessary because of lunatics like Karey Burke. If I’m in a meeting and someone says that they’re a parent to “two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child,” I’m out of there.

Why? Because to stay and to keep quiet is to legitimise child abuse. Whether they realise it or not, parents who label their kids as pansexual or queer are harming them. The children don’t know what the hell they are.

Leave them alone and they’ll figure it out for themselves. Don’t send them to lunatic asylums like Tavistock. Don’t consent to them taking puberty blockers.

The child who says he’s trans today might very well be trans in 10 years, but equally, he might not be.

He’ll find his own way if you get out of his way.

Leave children alone. Let them be children.
