Disney pledges to embed radical sexual politics in its children’s programming.

Excerpt:
"In the wake of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation, which prevents public schools from promoting gender ideology in kindergarten through third grade but which critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Disney executives organized an all-hands meeting, called the “Reimagine Tomorrow Conversation Series,” and pledged to mobilize the entire corporation in service of the “LGBTQIA+ community.” Executives recruited the company’s most intersectional employees, including a “black, queer, and trans person,” a “bi-romantic asexual,” and “the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child,” and announced ambitious new initiatives—seeking to change everything from gender pronouns at the company’s theme parks to the sexual orientation of background characters in the company’s films.

In a featured presentation at the meeting, executive producer Latoya Raveneau laid out Disney’s ideology in blunt terms. She said her team was implementing a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming. Another speaker, production coordinator Allen Martsch, said his team has created a “tracker” to ensure that they are creating enough “canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, [and] canonical bisexual characters.” Corporate president Karey Burke said she supported having “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories” and reaffirmed the company’s pledge to make at least 50 percent of its on-screen characters sexual and racial minorities.

The ideological campaign also extended to the company’s theme parks in Anaheim and Orlando. As diversity and inclusion manager Vivian Ware explained, Disney made the decision last year to eliminate all mentions of “ladies,” “gentlemen,” “boys,” and “girls” in order to create “that magical moment” for children who do not identify with traditional gender roles.

      Including the patent/trademark/copyright extensions that Disney lobbied for and received to keep all the Mouse profits for 50 years longer than was previously allowed.
      This also had the effect of extending royalties on music for an extra 50 years, rewarding do-nothing inheritors and punishing performing artists. (This favors existing big producers who then can ripoff the artists.)

        Do you recall a documentary of a chain of questionable deaths of rising, popular black musicians?
        This may have been a post in The Gulch.
        I remember something of this nature, and how the respective copyrights were pirated by "managers" or others post mortem. As I recall these folks were "unchained" to the system and gaining popularity fast. The potential of private label undermines control of narrative by the "elite'. Example is Robert Redford's creation of "Sundance". He is too high profile to be disappeared and revenue taken.

            Learning to see through the narrative has been harrowing.
            I went through a process of asking how my assumptions and bias originated...ongoing process actually.
            Not a nice journey, yet liberating. When an emotional surge occurs I ask what is the source. I stop immediately. Time to get quiet. Words used under this influence may not be healthy.

              Emotional reactivity may be the root of all evil. I like to do breathing meditation every day to mentally detach. That carries and builds and makes one less emotionally reactive over time. Requires discipline though. It's easy at first to sit still and do nothing. Eventually it gets boring, and then hard, and then you have to deal with everything that bubbles up into your head. Emotional reactivity resistance should be taught in school. In fact, I read an article where in a mostly black school the kids who would not behave were taken aside and taught to meditate. They became more peaceful and were able to learn...

              ...the garbage that they teach in school! Ahhhh I can't win!

                My dad was doing two minute "meditations" for middle schoolers on the 90's
                Just resets the calm for a bit. They asked him if they could continue when he wasn't there. It's your choice.

    Why are these people so interested in alerting children to sex? When I got married my husband thought I was severely retarded! You'd have to meet mama to understand her Ashkenasi brain. She would call these people 'common'. A social death sentence!

      My wife and I have had similar thoughts. Kids are being pushed into defining themselves as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc, at ages where they SHOULDN'T BE SEXUAL AT ALL.

        It's this goddammed postmodern liberal agenda. Get em while they're young. Plant the seed of filth in them before they have a chance to grow healthy. The schools are democrat factories. Ka-jink, Ka-jink, Ka-jink, Ka-jink, Ka-jink, Ka-jink, stamping out little democrats mass productions style.

        Many of the well educated parents who allow it are well educated brainwashed damned fools.
        I've heard a friends daughter berating him for describing someone as a black man, as if that is a racist remark. She has a PHD and teaches at a large university.
        imo, she's a brainwashed fool who has no business teaching anyone anything.

    This is all part of the New World Order. The plan includes raising children under the Critical Race Theory to have induced guilt regarding their ethnicity and confusion regarding their gender identity. This will create a compliant child to the left's political agenda and isolate the child from their parents. The LBJ War on Poverty has successfully enslaved the black community to the government teat. CRT and Gender Identity is the logical next step. IMHO

    I was planning a trip to Orlando this summer with my grand children. Instead I will take them to Dallas Six flags. Save me a bit of money and much closer to home.

        That is exactly what I am doing.

        Here's another example of me voting with my money. I am an avid reader 30+ books every year. One of my favorite authors was Stephen King but a couple years ago he took a very Left wing stand publicly and I decided that I would not patronize his books any longer. Now I understand that the amount of money he receives off of my purchase is miniscule but he will not get another cent from me.

        If more of us took a stand based on our beliefs we could sway them. So I do my part.

    Here Here.
    Disney took stuff that had been previous works of art, and rebranded them as his unique flavor, and then "protected" them long past his life.
    Very questionable...
    Stop doing this!
    Life of the Author. Not the "owner"

    Me dino just had a dismally dizzy deviant Disney thought.
    I suppose now the Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean mechanical puppet show (I saw floating past it during the Seventies) can go back to having pirates chase women they want to rape since women are no longer women defined as women because transsexuals are now the only alpha sports women average little boys can asprire to being or some incredibly stupid Schiff like that.

    Came full circle back to Ferdinand the Bull, 1938
    Gone from traditional nut-busting to butt-nutsing.

    Now to re-name the Seven L,G,B,T,Q,I,A and Snow White as the Cocaine Queen

      Or is he? Some suspicious relationships point to the contrary, unfortunately. This destruction of reason and supporting the individual has been in play for our whole lifetimes. All of the nihilism leads you right back to The deletes. For a reference to the timeline See Norman Dodd interview with the author of Jekyl Island author G Edward Griffith. Of course Atlas Shrugged was published my birth year 1957. Walt has a history that gives me pause as to who he really was.

    IMHO, Disney's descent started back in the 90's when Eisner took over. Prior to that I used to love watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Disney family movies on Sunday night. The classics like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Swiss Family Robinson and many others are still grand productions to me. Even more recent classics like Lion King I still consider positive movies. But their animated features have really dropped in family quality over the past twenty years especially. And their acquisition of Marvel Studios, LucasArts, and ESPN have all been incredibly disheartening to me.

    From a business perspective, this catering to the one percent just makes no sense to me - especially when it ticks off at least 50% in doing it. One would have thought that the Dixey Chicks would have been a cautionary tale, but it appears that many people are too busy injecting their political views - especially their corruption and perversion - into the lives of others instead of celebrating the family.

    My prediction is that all this will come to a head in the not-too-distant future and the world will be assisted in remembering that there is more to life than indulgence and entertainment.
