Disney CEO Bob Chapek Grovels to LGBTQ Employees: ‘I Let You Down. I Am Sorry’

The Disney Co.’s CEO Bob Chapek has taken a knee before his LGBTQ employees, issuing a humiliating apology after some of them mutinied over the company’s refusal to condemn Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which would forbid the teaching of sexuality and transgender ideology to students in kindergarten through third grade.

In his groveling mea culpa, Chapek said he needed to be a “stronger ally” to the company’s gay and transgender employees. He also falsely referred to the legislation as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — a smear created by Democrats and dutifully propagated by the news media — claiming it poses a “challenge to basic human rights.”

“You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry,” Chapek said in a memo to Disney staffers.

“I truly believe we are an infinitely better and stronger company because of our LGBTQ+ community. I missed the mark in this case but am an ally you can count on—and I will be an outspoken champion for the protections, visibility, and opportunity you deserve.”

Bob Chapek said Disney will be contributing money to efforts to defeat similar legislation in other states. He also reiterated the company’s intention to “pause” political donations in Florida.

As Breitbart News reported, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has slammed Disney for backtracking on its initial refusal to take sides.

“When you have companies that have made a fortune off being family-friendly and catering to families and young kids, they should understand that parents of young kids do not want this injected into their kid’s kindergarten classroom,” he said.

Florida’s Senate passed the Parental Rights in Education bill earlier this week, clearing the way for DeSantis to sign it into law.

The top shareholders of Disney are Robert A. Iger, Christine M. McCarthy, and Alan N. Braverman.

Here’s the page for McCarthy, look at those crazy eyes.

Can someone please honestly explain to me why these leaders/CEOs fold so quickly to homosexual pressure when that segment of society is a small percentage of people. What is going on that they don’t let those employees go or tell them they’ve made the decision they want to make and will not succumb to pressure. WHY do they do that? Really, why? Is it blackmail over criminal activity or what? Does anyone actually know the truth as to why the cave?

All this genuflecting to deviants, perverts and misfits is way past tedious.

“Bob Chapek said Disney will be contributing money to efforts to defeat similar legislation in other states. He also reiterated the company’s intention to “pause” political donations in Florida.”

Interesting, he goes neutral in Florida, his home state that is leading the country in disenfranchising pedophiles (to his chagrin), but will try to affect other states that are much further behind Florida. Wonder why?

ANSWER: Guess who runs Florida and could make life VERY DIFFICULT and expensive for Disney...should they choose.
