Disney Doubles Down On LGBTQ Programming With ‘Lightyear’ And More
The Federalist ^ | June 7, 2022 | Josh Shepherd

Disney is going all-out in joining leftists’ June celebration of Pride Month, making same-sex themes central to a new “Toy Story” feature film spin-off and adding more than 100 hours of LGBTQ titles to family-targeted streamer Disney Plus.

After advance screenings, critics say animated space adventure “Lightyear” — opening in theaters on June 17 — “takes queer representation to infinity and beyond,” to quote USA Today, highlighting that a lesbian couple “at one point [greets] each other with a kiss on the lips.”

Following backlash over Disney creative executives discussing their ongoing efforts at “queering” children’s entertainment, it seems Disney has decided to dismiss the concerns of many conservative parents. That collective shrug in Hollywood could be missing the big picture. A Harris Poll released in late May ranking the nation’s Top 100 brands found that The Walt Disney Company dropped from 37th to 65th place in reputation just since last year.

When the creative industry gets so insular that they blow off their market, they will of course fail.

they sure are hardcore dedicated to perverting children- 30 years ago this would have outraged the nation, even on both sides- but apparently it no longer does so seriously-

Disney’s management message to their stockholders: We don’t care what you say, we want to lose more of your money.

> Disney’s management message to their stockholders:

That is so last millennium.

Corporations now answer to investment banks who sets public corporation's market cap based on ESG scores.

It's a little too soon, but eventually I'm going to bathe in schadenfreude when their empire collapses.

I wonder what the “Queer Disney” brand is worth?

They should mention that "Trojan Condoms" is at 64th place, and "K-Y Jelly" is at 66th place.

So Disney is right where it belongs!

I know a young couple who love Disney so much they had their honeymoon at Disneyland. They are finished with Disney over this queer stuff.

Most of the corporate employees are sodomites, and they are on a mission.

I wonder what excuse they will use when this movie bombs.

Surely it will be in spite of the fact that it expanded acceptance of LGBTQI+ themes in children’s entertainment.

Was watching the new Top Gun. Prior to, we watched the usual coming attractions. I think there were two Disney features, you know the computerized crap. Plainly awful.

The only parents that would allow their kids to see this are lazy. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

These people are so far off base it’s hard to explain. I think of the cartoonists at Disney and Looney Toons, those guys and gals really understood human nature and humor. Goofy, Bugs, Mickey, Donald, Daffy, etc etc.

ANYONE promoting sex to kids, normal or homo, are doing it to make the children more approachable by predators.

these people are called GROOMERS.

they’re half a step from predators themselves and should be shunned from society.

no wiggle room for these people.

if you’re not sure why, figure out what the phrase ‘panda eyes’ means and how it happens. if that doesn’t sear a burning red line on your soul that you will defend at all costs... then you have no soul.

Simple answer: don’t watch it, don’t buy the merch.
