Americans Sour on Disney’s LGBTQ Agenda
PJ Media ^ | 5 Apr 2022 | Matt Margolis

Disney’s boasting about indoctrinating kids with LGBTQ propaganda isn’t sitting well with the American public, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday. According to the poll, only 28% of American adults believe the emphasis on “inclusion” and “diversity” makes children’s entertainment better.

However, a plurality — 45% — thinks it will make children’s entertainment worse, while only 18% say it won’t make a difference.

This is probably not the news that Disney executives want to hear after a company-wide zoom meeting that was leaked last week showed Karen Burke, the president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, saying Disney has “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories.” The leaked recording also showed executive producer Latoya Raveneau stating that her team has implemented a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and is regularly “adding queerness” to children’s programming.

As for the inclusion of more LGBTetc. characters in children’s programming, Rasmussen finds 42% support it, while 47% are opposed to it.

Disney’s decision to go woke has also greatly hurt its image, as a plurality (42%) of Americans now view the company unfavorably while only 42% view it favorably.

The sad part of this poll for our nation is that 28% and 18% see no problem with this woke indoctrination of our kids.

Companies don't care if they are liked or not, only if they make $$$

Unfortunately looking at the high ratings football still gets, I don't think they are worried.

That usually doesn't affect the smug wokeness if the high level indoctrinators. They just think we are all stupid for not agreeing with them, not that they made a bad business decision..

Wife and I were shopping for our grandson today. Mixed in with kids the stuff was Disney branded merchandise. Let’s just say that the Disney brand will NEVER get any of our business.

Americans have ALWAYS been sour on the LBGTQ agenda. They’re souring on Disney because it has adopted this agenda.

Disney is run by a bunch of sickos that want to rape children and should be treated accordingly 🤪

If I purchase any Disney flicks, it’ll be the ones made while Walt himself was in charge of the company.

They don't care. They view the public as gullible and themselves as the leaders. When leftists take over a company they're not interested in improving it, they're interested in using it.

The only possible conclusion I can come up with on this whole gender bending splendor in the halls of government and businesses is that wealthy and powerful authoritarian loonies get all excited about being served by eunuchs? I really do. I’m not kidding. These eunuchs are the harem of authoritarian perverts. It’s like the government wants to create a caste slave system of gender benders who serve their masters. It’s just too weird.

I’m wondering if the poll including parents only! If not, that could be the explanation for those results—why even include those who don’t have any “skin in the game?”

I just bought a great Disney movie for my granddaughter, [Darby O,Gill and the little people] with Sean Connery and the beautiful Janice Munro. I remember seeing it when Walt hosted his TV show on Sunday night, probably early sixties. I found a DVD online used for 3 bucks but I won’t be spending any money for the woke crap they produce now.

Then give Disney their kids. You can pick them up when the employees are done groping and fondling and taking pics of them. If they have mental health issues later Disney doesn’t care. They will on to doing the same to other people’s kids by then.

Thus will go the same way as it did for “Dicks” sporting goods when the got rid of guns and ammo. A downturn in business short term and right back to normal after all the hoopla disappears. They know it and you and I know it.
Case in point, a truly conservative family we are friends with decided late last week to travel to Orlando for a Disney trip. They don’t care about a companies agenda, they’re just out to have a good time.

If you think that “emphasis on inclusion and diversity makes entertainment better, sit and watch a couple episodes of Star Trek Voyager...if you can. Utterly putrid.
