Disney, as a company, has an obligation to its shareholders to maximize its income. To do that, most business should be as apolitical and non-religious as possible. Remember the three things best not brought up in polite conversation? Here’s two of them.

I think Disney does a reasonable job of both.

Take gay days. Disney does not sponsor that event and goes out of its way to “ignore” that it exists. Of course they don’t mind 150,000 visitors during that week. But, duh! That’s the first week after school lets out, and Disney probably loses the same number of visitors that avoid that week as a result: it’s a busy week at Disney no matter what. Disney has no particular need or desire to alienate the gays or non-gays and so, pointedly ignores the event - an event organized and carried off by a local travel agency.

Not only that, but most of the touring plans, many semi-sponsored by Disney, give advice specifically on how to visit during gay days without being bothered by the event: event organizers announce which park the event will visit each day. Tour on a different park schedule and you’ll by and large never know the event is there.

The complaint in this story is a non-story. The block likely was an attempt to block profanity. Even God points out, as a commandment, not to use His name in that way.

Because they don’t or can’t implement a more complex filter looking for context, they treat God as a cuss word.

My guess is that “the Lord” would have worked okay.
