I also remember Sunday nights watching the Wonderful World of Disney. I remember commercials by Gulf with those orange balls that people could stick on their car antennas.

Now families have to make sure not to schedule their Disneyworld vacations right after their kids get out of school or else end up there on Gay Days.

There are so many large businesses that appear to be acting in ways counter to their bottom line.

I have three theories about why liberals, who definitely want to push a leftist agenda, used to hold back for the sake of their greed, but now seem to favor perversion over monetary gain:

1. They are stupid or naïve enough to believe that there is a significant audience for leftist nonsense. They could have gotten this from all the hate spewed on twitter by SJWs, or they could have some polling data that suggest Americans are actually gangbusters for gays.

2. They believe that their progressive movement is now in complete control of all aspects of culture and they can impose their vision on the audience whether they like it or not, hoping that the worst case scenario is that the public will sit through and enjoy the normal bits in between all the leftist dreck.

3. They have performed an equation whereby they have decided that the people who spend money are by and large more liberal than those who scrimp and save. They can afford to alienate their conservative audience because we don't spend as freely as their liberal audience. So boycotts by conservatives will always fail. Our only hope is "buycotts" where we go out of our way to pay for things we like such as crafts at Hobby Lobby, sandwiches at Chick Fil A, etc.

I figured that there are few people here whose memories go back to that time, lol. I recall reading somewhere that although Walt was a very heavy smoker (which likely contributed to his death from lung cancer and that was before my lifetime), he still refrained from smoking and kept any ashtrays or other smoking related items (cigarettes, lighters, etc) out of sight when he did the intros.

Our civilization is ending. I hope a better one will replace it. I hope that after the war, homosexuality will be punished, as it ought to be, instead of being celebrated in the movies.

Coming to Disney, electricity powered by Walt spinning in his grave. 😋

This guy has a terrible attitude:

“Also if you have a problem with this stuff, take it up with your therapist, or whoever in your upbringing taught you to fear something totally normal. They did you a disservice, and you can still grow. Gay people exist. They live with your bullshit, you can live with theirs”

Keep it up Dizzyknee. Cater to the 2-5% that are mixed up sexually while offending 20% or more, of your current audience. Please explain to me, Robert Iger, how gaining 5% but losing 20% is positive for your shareholders? Is this the ‘new math’?
