Disney is a powerful company but they may have just stepped in it big time with their position over a parents’ rights bill that they falsely call the “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida.
The law doesn’t say anything about “don’t say gay.” Indeed it doesn’t mention “gay” at all.
The legislative text of the House version of the bill reads, ‘Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.’ [….]
That’s what folks on the left have

I am so proud that we are about 15 years ahead of the curve on this one.
We took our kids to both Disney World and Disney Land about 20 years ago. We had a blast. So much fun. But not a bit of perversion or wokeness to be found in either park. We even went to Disney World around Christmas, and the word "Christmas" was all over the park.
But then about 15 years ago, we heard about "gay days" at the parks. That was it for us. Why would amusement parks built for kids and families have a day to celebrate the mental illness of a group of people that puts their deviant sexual desires first and foremost in their lives?!?!?!? It didn't make any sense then, and it still doesn't.
So we swore off Disney then. No more trips to the parks. No Disney toys for the kids. No Disney or Pixar movies or TV shows or cable channels. Absolutely nothing!!! Haven't missed it in the least.

There have been a few articles about the changing Disney demographic. Their largest and fastest growing audience are adults with no children. Families are a shrinking demo. Obviously, the Disney wokesters are willing to cut loose the family market and target adults with plenty of extra money.

My brother in law was an electrician and worked building Disney World. The whole family went within a year of it's opening. Best time I ever had. I wouldn't go now if you paid me and that is sad because it was wonderful, clean fun for everyone.

It’s amazing they changed their announcements to delete the use of ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. So now will it be “good evening him and hers, them and theirs! Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom!

So what. I have very “conservative” friends and family siding with Disney. Can’t fix stupid. In fact, a conservative military family I know just spent time at Disneyworld. Their vacay trumps logic. You can’t fix STUPID.

Maybe Disney will lower its prices, and there will no longer be any long lines at the Disney amusement parks? That’s one way to look at it, if some people still patronize Disney.

Left-controlled Disney has flipped their main customer base the bird on the advice of the mentally dysfunctional.
The American people will return the FINGER to the Tragic Kingdom. The LEFT ruins everything that it touches AND they NEVER learn a thing. Get woke, GO BROKE fools.

I saw Easter candy today with the Disney logo while purchasing some treats. Well, that stayed on the shelf. The last thing I want in an Easter basket is something with Disney on it.

have the commie leftists at Disney done what we used to call: "painted themselves into a corner"? looks like it and if there is a Board of Directors in that organization, they might just want a come hither meeting with these people when the revenue starts to cascade down to -0- - most Americans do not want a minority group running anything in our country and believe in "majority rules" in all things, especially in government and social affairs

I have noticed an increase in cute disney commercials lately inviting people to come to the parks. Attendance must be way down already and they are feeling the pinch. Walt's wealthy heirs are going to be sorry they chose the wrong side.

Don’t expect Disney to change its tune. It will not. They will offer deals and incentives to lure people back to the parks but I certainly hope that people won’t cave. I also would like to see schools that take their marching bands there to play in the parades cancel any upcoming trips. Disney should pay a high price for putting their radical ideology above that of their customer base. I hope this is a cautionary tale to every corporation in this country that believes it is a good idea to wade into politics and social issues.

We took our kids to Disney World in Orlando for spring break in 1989. The resort was very unwoke back then and we had a great time. Today, the resort is woke beyond belief from what we see.
I see that our kids have afford our grand kids no exposure to this nonsense. Good. As for my wife and I as very happy retirees, we have permanently eliminated Disney from our lives.
And incidentally, we also eliminated downhill skiing when lift ticket prices went over $200 per person, standing in lift lines for over 30 minutes, and a lousy hamburger and beer cost over $30 each. Not to mention the two-hour I-70 traffic jams to/from the ski areas. There's plenty of other ways in retirement to be free, happy, and fulfilled.

I hesitated replying when I saw the headline but the comment from #8 has prompted me.
I have a theory concerning life/lifestyles and it relates to a pet collar. If a pet collar is too tight, it can choke or kill a pet. Yet, if a pet collar is too loose, it can also kill a pet. Look at how many people are taken to court because they didn't have their pet restrained.
My husband also has a theory concerning life/lifestyles. If a person looks at a spectrum, extreme liberalism is on one end and extreme conservatism is on the other end. If that spectrum is like a bent piece of paper and the point where the two ends meet or merge, it becomes difficult to see the difference. Yes, my husband is an engineer and he always gives me a different perspective on things. Sometimes even beyond my thinking but, hey , I don't mind having my brain cells stretched a bit.
Just because people still go to Disney, does not make them illogical or stupid. I explained yesterday that my daughter and son-in-law work hard but they enjoy going to Disney. So what. They do not support the policies of the CEO and, yes, they are conservative. As I explained, my husband is an engineer along with my daughter and son-in-law. They all are very hard-working people and I will not begrudge them for going to Disney. I will let Governor DeSantis figure this out.
Also, if I spent my time canceling businesses because of lifestyle practices, there probably would be few places left to shop. Just think if I started canceling a business because of their looser views on alcohol or drugs. . .

I am afraid #18 is correct. Most people don't have the resolve to permanently boycott a corporation. I have Facebook and despise it, but my wife won't let me cancel because of grandkid pics, etc.

The management of Disney has a lot in common with the Virginia school board. I'm surprised they have not started calling parents that object to Disney indoctrinating their children in LGBTQ+ as domestic terrorists.

What Cher is overlooking is that most Americans are fed up with being force-fed the baseless "morality du jour" of the far left, in which anything goes, including:
sexual abuse and exploitation of adolescent children;
murder of unborn babies;
stolen elections;
the elimination of their freedom to refuse inoculation with an experimental, dangerous gene-therapeutic drug that causes every conceivable form of disease and dysfunction (clots, strokes, heart attacks, inflammation, miscarriages, still births, etc etc etc).

In regard to the live and let live post, I believe in taking a stand for against something even though I know it may have no effect on anything but it makes me feel good because I believe I am on the right side. Like someone said above, you can't fix stupid (but you don't have to participate).

My family began our boycott of Disney in 1995 with the release of the cartoon “Pocahontas”. The theme song, “Colors of the Wind” is anti-American, anti-white and completely PC.
#11, beware of Cadbury Easter candy as well. In the UK, the company makes and sells “halal” Easter eggs for Muslims. Seriously. Easter candy for Muslims.

This legislation is a parental INFORMED consent for their minor child act. It is ONLY 7 pages, not 1,500 pages in the dark of night with a vote a 10AM, so any Fascist Democrat including that poor excuse for a CEP Chapek can read it. Which by the way when he opened his mouth and blurted out the sexual reference he said, I DIDN'T READ IT? 7 Pages? As Disney plummets I worry the board of directors will do nothing.

I personally boycott the Disney stuff: not because it will hurt them (it won't) but because I have a mental picture of my dollars being passed hand-to-hand from me to Disney and eventually to a child molester or pervert. Same with abortion. Haven't knowingly patronized any business that gives $$ to Planned Parenthood for years for the same reason. The end result is a dead child. My little wallet rebellion is my own and isn't much in the scheme of things; but it matters to me.

If I lived in a village with drinking establishments with one gay bar, why would I drift into the gay bar for a drink That's what Disney is structuring itself to be. Disney will double down, present gay animation movies while continuing down the path of being woke. I don't see a change in anything Disney this is how it ends. Poor Walt, I him well bye to Mickey and Goofy.

When corporations like Disney, that serve a public clientele, get involved in controversial and violate politics they stand to lose up to about 50% of their clientele or customers who disagree with the political stance that the corporation has taken, which means there could be a major decrease in corporate profits. Since corporate CEO’s have a fiduciary responsibility to their stockholders, it is pretty clear that CEO’s by pushing a corporation into such politics are not doing their stockholders any favors.

Go woke, go broke. Can't expect much else in the way of thinking from a corporation that was deep in Epstein's file cabinet. Now that one of the Disney heirs has come forward claiming to be one of the sparkly types, Disney boardroom probably thought they were covered.

This latest corruption is only the latest in an unbroken stream, as Disney has uniformly promoted every diverse religion and value system in its movies except of Christianity, for its entire history.
Consider that:
- Gepetto prayed for deliverance to a small sprightly fairy in Pinocchio (1940);
- Mary Poppins, a “good witch,” used her magical powers for everything (1964);
- Ariel the teenage mermaid is transformed by her father, Triton, the spirit-king of the oceans into the form of a human girl (1989);
- Pocahontas celebrated indigenous animism in which every rock, tree, and creature has “…a life, a spirit, and a name" (1995);
- Moana sought relief for her people by restoring a magic stone to the spirit-goddess of the sea (2016);
- 14-year-old Luz Noceda sought the resolution to her search for identity while exploring her own bisexuality and how to become a witch. (Film, The Owl House, Disney Studios, 2019).
Sunday School never had a chance.

I still doubt that this will have a long term or appreciable effect on Disney’s profits. I hope I’m wrong. They’ve gone completely off the cliff with their staunch support of gays and transgenders, respectively 5 and .5 per cent of the population. It will hurt them for a while. Kids movies with gay characters will bomb. That will be a short-lived experiment. The amusement parks will survive.

We have some old home movies of my grandparents, who lived on SoCal back in the day taking my parents and two older brothers to Disney in early 1957. Though by today’s standards the technology looks pretty clunky, you can tell the experience was absolutely magical for the kids and the adults. It’s tragic to think how things have backslid - I haven’t touched anything Disney with two ten-and-a-half-foot poles in over a decade.
