One might think Disney would have a muted celebration of Pride this year considering accusations of indoctrinating children with modern issues has taken a toll on the company. Think again.
This article uses a press release from Disney Parks.
The Walt Disney Company is going all-in on celebrating and promoting “Pride Month” — a time of year that has gone beyond just recognizing people of homosexual orientations and now moved into all sorts of other issues, such as transsexualism, transgenderism, mutilation of children’s bodies, etc. It’s a place you would think Disney would now be reticent to venture into. But that’s not at all what is happening with a company whose stock is on the dive.
Press release follows:
At Disney Parks, we want our guests and cast members to see themselves reflected in the Disney stories, experiences, and products they know and love — all year long — and we are grateful to work with members and allies of the community to deliver products that are authentic. In addition to creating products that bring the joy of Disney stories to life for our guests, I am proud of our work year-round with nonprofits that lead important programs in support of the LGBTQIA+ community around the world. To learn more about the organizations we support year-round, please visit TWDCPrideCollection.com.

Of special interest — go back up and note that Disney is careful not to put a little girl in a shirt that literally says “Pride” but they’ll do all the rainbow symbolism beyond. That’s intentional, whatever way you may feel about it.
