Disney exec wants half its characters to be LGBTQIA, minorities by end of year
NY Post, Mar 30, 2022

A Disney executive has vowed to drastically increase inclusivity in its productions, promising that at least 50 percent of its characters will be LGBTQ or racial minorities by the end of the year.

Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, said the company must do more to make its content more inclusive in a company-wide Zoom call Monday that was later posted to Twitter.

“I’m here as a mother of two queer children, actually,” Burke said on the call. “One transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader.”

Burke said she supports featuring “many, many” characters who are LGBTQIA, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), intersex, and asexual (or allies).

By the end of the year, Burke said she wants at least half of the entertainment giant’s characters to be LGBTQIA or racial minorities.

The Disney honcho said she had been dismayed to learn from a colleague that the company only had a “handful” of queer lead characters in its content.

“And I went, ‘What? That can’t be true,’” Burke said. “And I realized it actually is true. We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories and yet we don’t have enough leads and narratives in which gay characters just get to be characters and not have to be about gay stories.”

The call was part of Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” campaign, according to the video posted on Twitter Tuesday.

No such animals, just young, vulnerable children being abused by their parents for ulterior political motives.  They should be removed from her "care" immediately.

'Disney's activism partner Nadine Smith of Equality Florida tells LGBTQ employees that @GovRonDeSantis and @ChristinaPushaw
 want to "erase you, "criminalize your existence," and "take your kids"—a wild conspiracy theory that Republicans want to kidnap gay people's children.'  (Video)

This is absolute predatory, grooming pedophilia specifically targeting children to sexualize them for future abuse and exploitation by the LGBTQSNAFUBAR community.

It's basically little more than creating pedophile human trafficking rings.

Quite honestly, their new stuff has been getting rather boring, so it won't be much of a loss if I drop the rest of it.

So how do they label the bathrooms?  Do we get to be confused about which bathroom to use now?

Congratulations, Disney.

You've managed to turn an industry designed to embrace innocent wonder and imagination into a celebration of perversion.

What are some sort of sicko? It's obvious that those children have abusive parents who are keeping their children from accepting Disney's version of reality and if they cannot conform they can just go somewhere else! There is no room for traditional American family values in Disney imagineering's socialengineering's version of America.

You would think that after thousands of companies doing this nonsense before them, they would have enough examples by now to know that IT DOES NOT WORK!

In the future, if want to see something from Disney, I'll put on "Song of the South".

They are in the process of wiping it from their theme parks, along with every other experience people valued.  Disney needs to focus on revitalizing their intellectual property, instead of replacing it with check-the-box mediocrity.  Children could benefit from the sort of entertainment they USED to provide.
