A Disney executive has vowed to drastically increase inclusivity in its productions, promising that at least 50 percent of its characters will be LGBTQ or racial minorities by the end of the year.
Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, said the company must do more to make its content more inclusive in a company-wide Zoom call Monday that was later posted to Twitter.
“I’m here as a mother of two queer children, actually,” Burke said on the call. “One transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader.”
Burke said she supports featuring “many, many” characters who are LGBTQIA, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (or questioning), intersex, and asexual (or allies).
By the end of the year, Burke said she wants at least half of the entertainment giant’s characters to be LGBTQIA or racial minorities.
The Disney honcho said she had been dismayed to learn from a colleague that the company only had a “handful” of queer lead characters in its content.
“And I went, ‘What? That can’t be true,’” Burke said. “And I realized it actually is true. We have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories and yet we don’t have enough leads and narratives in which gay characters just get to be characters and not have to be about gay stories.”
The call was part of Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” campaign, according to the video posted on Twitter Tuesday.
The new diversity push comes as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Florida HB 1557 into law Monday despite claims its discriminatory. The legislation bans Florida teachers from discussing LGBTQ topics like sexual orientation or gender identity with students unless they’re in the fourth grade or higher.

Hell, stroll through any department store, Target, Walmart, etc and look at the ads and posters and you will learn that straight white people constitute 10% of the population. At most.
Well, Mickey and Minnie are black! Pluto is yellow, Goofy is black as well.

So they’re cutting back then.
LOL, I was wondering what “pansexual” meant. Does her child like to have sex with everything?? That’s what the Greek word “pan” means. Animal, vegetable, mineral?
Actually, I don’t want to look it up and find out what she means by that. I’ll leave well enough alone in the interests of my stomach.
All I can say is, those poor children!
then half of their movies will fail.
It’s that simple.
Why is it they lump minorities in with the homos? Do they think most minorities are homos?
