Oh, Hello Guests: Disney's Commitment to LGBTQ+ Rights and Safety

As a company dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family and the broader community in Florida and across the country, we are proud to be taking a strong stance against discriminatory legislation. Our goal is to ensure that all individuals feel welcome and included in our parks, resorts, and entertainment experiences.

Recently, we have been vocal about our opposition to Florida's HB 1557, also known as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill. This harmful law is a clear attempt to stigmatize and silence the LGBTQ+ community, and we believe it is morally wrong. As a company that prides itself on promoting diversity and inclusivity, we cannot stand idly by while such legislation is enacted.

In response to this law, we have taken several steps to demonstrate our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. First and foremost, we have released a statement condemning the bill and expressing our solidarity with those who are affected by it. We have also been working closely with national and state organizations that share our goal of repealing or striking down this legislation.

In addition, we have taken aggressive political positions against other laws that discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community. For example, we have spoken out against Florida's 'Parental Rights in Education Law,' which prohibits discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in K-3 grade classrooms. We believe that all students deserve to learn about themselves and their place in the world, without fear of discrimination or marginalization.

At Disney, we are committed to creating content that reflects the diversity of our audience. That's why we have launched initiatives such as 'Reimagine Tomorrow,' which aims to amplify underrepresented voices and untold stories while championing accurate representation in media and entertainment. We believe that by telling more diverse and inclusive stories, we can help create a world where all individuals feel seen and heard.

To achieve this goal, we are actively working to increase the number of queer leads featured in our content. We are also exploring queer stories and creating characters that defy traditional gender norms. Our goal is to create a sense of belonging and community for all members of the LGBTQ+ family, regardless of their age or background.

In conclusion, at Disney, we believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We will continue to stand up against discriminatory legislation and advocate for the rights and safety of the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a more inclusive and accepting world.
