Conservative Catholic activists in Africa have warned the newly-appointed CEO of Disney to desist from promoting a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ) agenda in content meant for children.

Disney, a global leader in the entertainment industry, recently came under fire for what many conservatives consider its pro-gay agenda.

The company’s new CEO, Robert Iger, who was appointed Nov 20, has gotten a not too friendly reception in Africa. Members of CitizensGo Africa, the African branch of the far-right Catholic activist organization CitizenGo founded in Spain in 2013, have launched a petition warning Iger against injecting LGBTQ+ ideas into children’s content.

“CEO Bob Chapek, one of the main crusaders for Disney’s turn to ‘wokeism’ and its incorporation of LGBT ideology in its products, has been fired and replaced by his predecessor Robert Iger, in an embarrassing fashion,” the activists say.

The activists have urged Iger to “return (the company) to family values, instead of being the ruinous factory of LGBTQ+ indoctrination that it is now.”

They accused the media company of “becoming a perverse indoctrination machine that is a slave to the LGBTQ+ agenda.”

“The radical left is seeking to groom children to adopt a radical LGBTQ+ lifestyle, and Disney is actively helping them do it,” the petition asserts. “Disney’s corporate president Karey Burke stated in April she would like to see 50 percent of characters as LGBTQ+ or other politically chosen minorities.”

“Soon after, for the very first time in history, Disney included a lesbian kiss in a movie for children,” the petition says, referring to the film “Lightyear,” which has been banned in 14 Middle Eastern and Asian countries over the scene.
