Sorry, but with this article, it’s time to tell the truth about Disney, and Walt in particular.
(Plz remember, I am Orlando based and was network TV reporter for years.)
It was a huge secret (and to many still is) but the entire Disney organization has been gay-centric since the time of Walt and the first cartoons.
Walt was the “Gay Mayor” of LA until succeeded by Jim Neighbors. The Gay Mayor was an honorary title, with a set of resposibilities. The gay mayor had the responsibility to ensure big time gays were not outed, got work, etc. It was a part, and a very significant part, of the gay Hollywood underground.
The entire Disney organization was very gay-focused, long before Eisner. Back in the Mickey Mouse Club days, it was never a secret, and admitted by the now-adult gay actors, that Disney had sexual relationscwith a number of teenage boys on the show, “Spin and Marty” and others.
Disney’s marriage was a complete sham. He married his secretary when, one week, the then-struggling cartoonist didn’t have enough money to pay her salary.
In addition, at one level, Disney’s movies are warm and wonderful. On another level, they are often about cruel deaths of parents, (Bambi, Lion King, etc) frightened children looking for protection, etc. All very popular themes with gays.
Sorry to burst bubbles, but Walt was a big time gay, and set his company up that way too.
Well let me tell you what I know.
In the propaganda campaign book After the Ball it says this:
Infer and speculate that famous historical figures were gay for two reasons: first, they are dead as a door nail, hence in no position to deny the truth and sue for libel; (page 188)
“Sorry to burst bubbles, but Walt was a big time gay, and set his company up that way too.”
Well, none of that surprises me.
All I was saying is that in my trips to Disney World, and Disneyland, I never saw one hint of homosexual lifestyle.
No doubt, in the last 15 to 20 years, they have come out of the closet.
An example of attacking a family icon in an effort to diminish his effort and advance their own perverted agenda.
Sorry, I don’t buy it without a lot more convincing evidence.
As another poster said, painting dead people as closet gays is way to “normalize” gay behavior, make it look like it is more widespread than it is, and turn icons of family values into soldiers for the homosexual lifestyle.
“Who is your biggest hero? Oh, he was gay too!” Promoters of the gay agenda have been using this tactic for decades.
That doesn't jibe with the Tommy Kirk page at IMDB:
From the bio: "However, in 1964, the Disney factory found out Tommy was gay and they immediately released him from his contract after finishing The Monkey's Uncle (1965)."
Personal Quote: "Even more than MGM, Disney [in the early 1960s] was the most conservative studio in town....They were growing aware. They weren't stupid. They could add two and two, and I think they were beginning to suspect my homosexuality. I noticed people in certain quarters were getting less and less friendly....In 1963 Disney didn't renew my option and let me go. But Walt let me return to do the final Merlin Jones movie, 'The Monkey's Uncle,' because those were moneymakers for the studio."
Thanks. Your post explains a lot. I see that my mother might have been right not to have had a tv in the house when I was growing up.
