Disney executives have spoken at an internal 'Reimagine Tomorrow' forum - part of an initiative begun in September to increase representation on screen Karey Burke, head of entertainment, said that it made commercial sense for Disney to show more gay and non-binary characters She told the virtual assembly her son had told her: 'Gen-Z is 30-40 percent queerer than other generations Mom, so Disney better get with it'

Bob Chapek, the CEO, told the forum he 'pledged to be a better ally for the LGBTQ+ community' and 'apologized for not being the ally you needed me to be' Chapek, who has been strongly criticized for his handling of Disney's policy on LGBTQ issues, said he learnt from the experience and felt their 'pain'

A Disney executive has admitted that the company is seeking to increase diversity within the company because it is good for business, as the embattled CEO apologized to the LGBTQ community 'for not being the ally you needed me to be'.

Karey Burke, head of entertainment, said that her son had told her: 'Gen-Z is 30-40 percent queerer than other generations Mom, so Disney better get with it.'

Bob Chapek, the CEO, meanwhile, begged forgiveness from the LGBTQ community.

'I want you to know that your words have made a real impact on me,' he said.

'I understand that we have made mistakes, and the pain that those mistakes have caused.'

The leaders of the entertainment giant were speaking at one of Disney’s ‘Reimagine Tomorrow’ forums, which since September has worked to serve as ‘our way of amplifying underrepresented voices and untold stories as well as championing the importance of accurate representation in media and entertainment.’

It vows that 50 percent of characters and content would be from underrepresented groups by 2022.

Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, said in a clip from a session - obtained by journalist Christopher Rufo, who specializes in culture wars - that there was a commercial reason for increasing the number of LGBTQ characters.

Exactly. A brainwashed self fulfilled prophecy.

30-40%? That’s not what the 2020 Census says, nor Gallup nor any credible organization. She’s convinced herself that her own narrow views are somehow mainstream.

Professional recruiting by teachers, professors, media and other perverts. We inadvertently let them at our kids. Now they are so bold, that they demand to be accepted and go after the kids openly.

Standard estimates for homosexuality has been 2% of the population. Homosexual activists like to say “10%” but this is completely false.

If Gen Z is 40% queerer then perhaps they represent 3% of that population (I’m being generous).

Disney is building a business plan aimed at 3% of the population?

No. They are indoctrinating a generation because Disney is a Groomer company.

So instead of being 1-2% of previous generations they are 1.3 to 2.8% of the Gen Z population, so we need to pander to them?

Makes perfect sense…. not

Yep—in less than a decade they turned a call for ‘tolerance’ into mandated acceptance.

I feel it’s all a part of the plan to systematically destroy anything that is All American. Disney has been an American “mecca” for anyone and everyone during their lifetime (well, for many at least). To destroy it as it was is to destroy the America that once was.

Americans are no longer allowed to have any sort of family fun — we have to take that away and denigrate it.

That right there is the problem in a nutshell. The idea that something as banal and stupid as a “magic kingdom” filled with people dressed up as silly cartoon characters would somehow become a “mecca” for Americans tells me that this country has been off the rails since before I was born.

Why don’t we focus on something REALLY important — like how the degradation of Super Bowl halftime shows has ruined all that is good about America? /heavy sarcasm off/

Actually, she’s just reacting to numbers her son pulled out of a hat. Which is even worse.

Well, they’ll probably also be 30-40% less wealthy than previous generations, so good luck with that.

Bears repeating; Disney is a Groomer company.
