Disney's Decadant Decline
Human Events ^ | 04/16/2007 | Ericka Andersen

Posted on 04/16/2007 6:47:55 AM PDT by HoosierGirl25

Disney Senior Vice-President of Communications Leslie Goodman told the Washington Post, "This is the very logical extension of a business we are already in.” But is it a “logical” transition when the action is apparently not a business move at all, but a political one? Over half the country vehemently opposes the idea of gay marriage and Disney doesn’t seem concerned with respecting the long-standing value of legal, traditional marriage.

Last year, the Senate voted down a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. In fact, a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll said that 68% of respondents did not think same sex marriages should be recognized by the law as valid.

Ironically, Disney’s target audience is families with children, a majority of those individuals being opposed to gay marriage. Disney has become an tool for a movement that threatens to eradicate the family values on which Walt Disney founded his brand...

We nixed our vacation plans to Disney this year and into the future. I had about 7 packages I was narrowing down on just the evening before they announced that Sodomites would be allowed weddings there.

"Ironically, Disney’s target audience is families with children...."

Nothing Ironic about it. The degenerate and pro degenerate elements at Disney now are putting forth a gay agenda. They do not believe it will affect their cash flow. Until their actions do affect their cash flow they will go right ahead.

I don’t think that the children see Disney as decadent. Unfortunately, many of them don’t get to enjoy the experience, because of their parents decisions.

I am glad I read this. My family is pushing for a Disney trip because the youngest child has never been there. I don’t want to go. I was there 12 yrs ago and I didn’t enjoy it. I tend to avoid large groups and places since 9/11 and although I am working on it I just can’t seem to get myself to commit to a vacation there. This gives me more of a reason not to go. I never went as a child & I don’t feel its going to affect my daughter if we don’t go.

I actually met Mr. Disney as a kid. I’m pretty sure he’s doing flips in his grave and it’s sad to see what Disneyland has become. Years ago I saw some of their male employees leaving the park holding hands. I had to walk away with my kids. Sad.

The problem arises when young children see flagrant same-sex sexual conduct right out in the open at the park.

A friend of mine with two young daughters had no idea that the homosexuals organize "Gay Days" at Disney, and showed up fat dumb and happy on one of those days.

He is a pretty equable kind of guy, but he was furious! Some of the conduct he described should have resulted in some folks getting arrested.

Spelling “decadent” as “decadant” is, well, decadent. (I know the original author is at fault.)

Unfortunately that is a correct statement. Disney has been a pioneer in pushing the gay agenda for quite some time now.

Further proof that the homos ruin everything they touch. They have all but destroyed the church by infiltrating and convincing people that “tolerance = Christianity”.

Disney is living in some kind of “Fantasyland”. If They don’t wake up, all they’re going to have left in their parks, are prancing, primping, “Fairies”, and I don’t mean the Tinkerbell variety.

I don't know. What you need to keep in mind is that here you are talking to people more likely just to stop going. From my experience there will still be tons of "progressive" parents willing to expose their kids to this type of garbage in the name of diversity.

As Sans-Culotte mentions churches are now full of that attitude.

My kids are not pressuring us that much. Besides, we live close to many parks like Six Flags, Schlitterbahn and Sea World

Same here. If the Monterey Bay Aquarium supported NAMBLA days, my kids would never see that aquarium...

I remember the “Walt Disney” Disneyland.

This venue isn’t anything like it. Walt’s spirit is gone GONE..
