Disney placed the last proverbial nail in their coffin. Disney thought their secret to success, was to take the side of a radical progressive minority over the side of little kids and their parents, by opposing Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill. A bill designed to protect kids from kindergarten to third grade from being taught about sexual orientations and gender identities. Disney has opened a can of worms, that they didn’t want public, and a reaction from parents, their core customer, that will taint a once lauded reputation for being a safe and fun environment, where kids could just be kids. The spotlight is on Disney in ways they never dreamed of, and it’s only going to get worse. Disney has opened Pandora’s box as it were, and now, this company once famed for being a bastion of fun and safety for children, is a propaganda machine that wants to indoctrinate your children about sexual orientation and gender identities. Disney has vowed to fight for the removal of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, and taken the side of the few over the many. Meanwhile, Disney is a willing safe haven for radicals that are forcefully changing and advocating for LGBTQ and minority representation in over half of their content. Disney is receiving pushback from all sides, and the ramifications could be disastrous for a company that should have just sided with the kids.
Disney is Infected From the Inside Out With a Radical Left Minority of the Population
The one thing Disney could be counted on for, was entertaining kids across the globe in an innocent and fun way, that allowed kids to escape into a world of wonderment and make believe. Now the company is in the business of accommodating a radical minority group, that demands it be their way or the highway. Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill just brought to the forefront, what’s been happening inside Disney for years. A politically charged, radical takeover of a company once devoted to kids and their parents. Karey Burke, Disney’s President of General Entertainment Content, said this week that she is committed to making all of Disney’s content, 50% or more representative of the LGBTQ community and minorities. Why is that a focus? During a leaked executive meeting call, Burke came to her conclusion, by using two of her adult kids as evidence. She stated that she had a child who was transgender, and one who was pan-sexual. Great, good for them. Why does that get to dictate what the rest of the country watches? Burke, in essence, is forcing a majority of the population to watch content based on her political ideology. That ideology is one sided, and doesn’t comport with how the majority of the populations feels or what they care about. No one cares if someone is transgender, non-binary, gay, bi-sexual, or whatever. Fine, great…just don’t force the rest of us to like who or what you like. Disney should be in the business of making money by appealing to everyone.
Is Cinderella Allowed to be Called a Princess in the Parks?
In that same leaked call, there were other executives and employees who basically affirmed Disney’s indoctrination of kids and the entertainment they are exposed to. Latoya Raveneau, executive producer for Disney Television Animation, said her gay agenda was not at all secret.
“In my little pocket of Proud Family Disney TVA, the showrunners were super welcoming . . . to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda. Maybe it was that way in the past, but I guess something must have happened . . . and then like all that momentum that I felt, that sense of ‘I don’t have to be afraid to have these two characters kiss in the background.’ I was just, wherever I could, adding queerness. . . . No one would stop me, and no one was trying to stop me.”
Wow. Disney’s diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware, said that the theme parks would no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and that the parks would also refrain from addressing anyone as a princess in fear of offending them.
“Last year, last summer, we removed all of the gendered greetings in relationship to our live spiels. So we no longer say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. We’ve trained — we provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that, so now they know it’s “Hello, everyone,” or “hello, friends. And we don’t want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, may be presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess.’ So let’s think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.”
Double wow. So these poor little girls, who have dreamed of being princesses, will no longer be referred to as a princess. Do we ask them for their pronouns? So how is Disney going to address the current cast of princesses in their library now? How does a little girl react with Cinderella, if she can’t be called a princess herself? Is Cinderella allowed to be called a princess? Can Cinderella refer to a little girl who is a fan of Cinderella as a princess? It’s absolute insanity. Also in that same call, Disney’s activism partner, Nadine Smith stated that Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill was going to criminalize those in the LGBTQ community, and take their kids away. It doesn’t get more radical than that, when you accuse a State government of trying to steal someone’s kids. That is propaganda at its best trying to sway a false narrative.

Can Disney Provide Evidence That Florida’s Bill Will Infringe on Anyone’s Basic Human Rights?
The hypocrisy is on full display with Disney, and everyone’s watching. While Disney is promoting the LGBTQ indoctrination of your kids, they apparently are okay with their cruise ships docking at places like the Dominican Republic who criminalize homosexuality, condone the genocide of Muslim Uyghurs in China, and have done their level best to keep quiet the fact that multiple employees have been arrested for child sex predation and molestation. One of those cases, being the molestation of an 11 year old girl in an elevator on one of their cruise ships. In that particular case, Disney didn’t inform authorities until they had left dock, and then paid for that employee to be shipped back to his country. Is Disney going to require its theme park employees in Shanghai China to not say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls? Highly unlikely, because Disney has their pockets lined with communist China money, and they don’t want to offend the CCP. Will Disney be okay with the CCP banning or editing their new LGBTQ majority content in China? Probably. On Disney World’s Instagram page, they are actively saying they support all families and are against discrimination in any form, yet are actively discriminating against parents’ rights when it comes to their kids.
“To ALL who come to this happy place, welcome. Disney Parks, Experiences and Products is committed to creating experiences that support family values for every family, and will not stand for discrimination in any form. We oppose any legislation that infringes on basic human rights, and stand in solidarity and support our LGBTQIA+ Cast, Crew, and Imagineers and fans who make their voices heard today and every day.”
And can Disney provide evidence that Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill will infringe on anyone’s basic human rights? Of course not, because that would enrage their LGBTQ overlords.

Disney World Will Probably Lose the Autonomy They’ve Enjoyed For 55 Years
The problems for Disney are mounting, and they are coming from all sides. Representative Jim Banks, of Indiana, wrote a letter to Disney stating that he was not going to vote for upcoming copyright expirations, which include the characters Tigger from the 1928’s ‘House on Pooh Corner’, and ‘Steamboat Willie’s’ version of Mickey Mouse. Both those characters enter the public domain on January 1st, 2024. With an anticipated Republican majority in Congress, that spells bad news for Disney. Governor Ron DeSantis is also considering an end to some of the privileges Disney enjoys by operating in the State of Florida. DeSantis and the Florida Legislature, are considering repealing the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which allows Disney to act as its own government. Disney right now, enjoys its own police force, EMS, and building code authority. For example, Disney’s autonomy could allow them to build their own army, nuclear facility, or utilities company. Rescinding the Reedy Creek Improvement Act, would be a monumental loss for Disney, as they would be subjected to the jurisdiction, regulation, and taxation of the surrounding municipality of Orange County Florida. In addition to that, Disney’s stock has plummeted 30% in the last year, which will make investors wary of the direction Bob Chapek is taking the company. To make matters worse, former CEO Bob Iger took a swipe at Bob Chapek’s handling of Florida’s legislation.
“When you’re dealing with right and wrong, or when you’re dealing with something that does have a profound impact on your business, then I just think you have to do what is right and not worry about the potential backlash, to it.”
This is rich coming from the very man who placed Disney in this predicament in the first place. Bob Chapek is just reaping the rewards of Iger’s mismanagement.
How Inclusive is Disney if They Are Ignoring a Majority of the Country
Disney has boxed themselves into a room with no exits. They are not going to come out of this winners in any shape or form. Their hypocrisy on Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill is glaring. Disney refuses to broach the topic of China’s human rights abuses and child sex predation, and remains steadfastly silent. The topic of parents rights over their kids education and well being, is front and center in this country. You don’t have to look any further than what happened in Virginia to concede that. A corporation like Disney, does not have the moral authority to preach to parents about what’s right and wrong for their kids. Disney is in the entertainment business, specifically kids entertainment, and all forms of politics should stay out of it. No one in America is running around with pitch forks and slogans, actively protesting anyone from the LGBTQ community, and their way of life. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. That radical faction of the left, is preaching to the majority of America to abide by their points of view, whether they like it or not. Most of America could care less if someone is in a gay relationship, is transgender, pansexual, or non-binary. If the radical nuts on the left would actually just open their eyes, and stop listening to Twitter activists, they might actually find that most Americans are very welcoming. But, because a radical portion of the LGBTQ community has conflated the issue to the extreme, all they see is their point of view and no one else’s. How’s that for inclusion?
