Disney CEO Bob Chapek Grovels to LGBTQ Employees: ‘I Let You Down. I Am Sorry’
breitbart ^ | 12 Mar 2022 | DAVID NG

The Disney Co.’s CEO Bob Chapek has taken a knee before his LGBTQ employees, issuing a humiliating apology after some of them mutinied over the company’s refusal to condemn Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which would forbid the teaching of sexuality and transgender ideology to students in kindergarten through third grade.

In his groveling mea culpa, Chapek said he needed to be a “stronger ally” to the company’s gay and transgender employees. He also falsely referred to the legislation as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill — a smear created by Democrats and dutifully propagated by the news media — claiming it poses a “challenge to basic human rights.”

“You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry,” Chapek said in a memo to Disney staffers.

“I truly believe we are an infinitely better and stronger company because of our LGBTQ+ community. I missed the mark in this case but am an ally you can count on—and I will be an outspoken champion for the protections, visibility, and opportunity you deserve.”

Bob Chapek said Disney will be contributing money to efforts to defeat similar legislation in other states. He also reiterated the company’s intention to “pause” political donations in Florida.

As Breitbart News reported, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has slammed Disney for backtracking on its initial refusal to take sides.

“When you have companies that have made a fortune off being family-friendly and catering to families and young kids, they should understand that parents of young kids do not want this injected into their kid’s kindergarten classroom,” he said.

Florida’s Senate passed the Parental Rights in Education bill earlier this week, clearing the way for DeSantis to sign it into law.

When someone demands another to do something, the second person can either acquiesce or refuse.

There are numerous reasons why one would refuse.

If acquiescing, then either because one wants to, because they agree with the sentiment, or because they are forced to, out of fear.

This character either agrees with the homo agenda, or is afraid of their actions/threats of non compliance.

The why you already know. They are pagans. Pagans are slaves to sin. Sin serves their father, who is the devil and Satan. They always end up doing the will of their father.

John 8:43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Disney is riddled with gays and pedophiles, with the company often hiring or keeping known pedophiles as employees in spite of the danger to children. Disney World in Orlando has a substantial case load of civil suits against it for sexual predation of all sorts by its employees. These cases get little publicity though because of the Mouse’s business clout and its large stream of ad dollars to media outlets.

Just go back to providing clean entertainment for children and families and stay out of politics and harmful fads.

“ fool lacking a moral compass”

Indeed, Disney will kiss China’s roses red rear end hard and long all day despite slave labor, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and torture but let parents have a say in their children’s education and all hell breaks loose. Go Governor DeSantis!

Interesting, he goes neutral in Florida, his home state that is leading the country in disenfranchising pedophiles (to his chagrin), but will try to affect other states that are much further behind Florida. Wonder why?

Because, unlike DeSantis, the other governors are unwilling to play Rollerball.

Gay Day at Disney makes $$$$$. Homos have lots of disposabl3e income since it doesn’t go to raising a family.

Can someone please honestly explain to me why these leaders/CEOs fold so quickly to homosexual pressure when that segment of society is a small percentage of people.

In their world, everyone believes the same. They may see opposing ideas, but its far away from them, and it can be dismissed as the beliefs of ignorant rubes and rednecks. They are rich, influential and arrogant, which reinforces their self-delusion. Its worst in Washington DC, and Hollywood.

Do queers make up a large enough part of Disney’s staff to make it necessary to kowtow to them? Does Disney recruit them over normal folks?

The identity crisis alphabet left will NOT be happy until Kindergarten classes are shown full hard core porn videos complete with instructions and play by play commentary.

Cause if you area against porn in grade school, you are ultra kook fringe and should be completely eliminated.

Disney in Orlando is staffed by a lot of gay people, gay kids from Tennessee, Georgia, Carolinas, Ohio etc..move to Orlando to work for Disney because they feel safe working there with a large gay workforce. It’s a thing. I know a few personally.

Read Genesis 19, Leviticus 20, Romans 1.

If ever we wondered why God abandoned national America, wonder no longer.
