Christopher Rufo, Christopher Rufo’s reporter, posted footage last week of Disney top employees vowing that they would incorporate their radical LGBTQ agenda into the programming for children. Latoya, Disney’s producer, told the all-hands meeting her team pushes an “not-atall-secret homosexual agenda” for programming that is aimed at children. She also sought to include “queerness” in such content. Karey Burke (Disney corporate president) stated that her children include “one transgender, one pansexual and two other kids” and would work to create a system in which half of Disney characters are LGBTQ+ or persons of color. Vivian Ware Disney diversity and inclusion manager said that Disney’s most beloved parks will be rid of any references to “ladies, gentlemen” and “boys, and girls”.
The Mouse House was enraged by the controversy. Disney is a Left-winger on social issues. However, in the wake of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, which prevents children from being indoctrinated on their sexual orientation, an angry group of employees forced management to show loyalty even more. Disney’s management announced their opposition to the Florida bill before handing over control of the company to its most radical members.
The people responded. The hashtag #BoycottDisney started to become a popular trend on social media. The Daily Wire pledged $100 million to create safe content for children — content that is based on traditional values. Parents wouldn’t need to prescreen content to avoid messages about unbinary 5-year olds.
The Left caught by its hands in the kiddiejar immediately switched gears and accuses the Right of starting the culture war. Michelle Goldberg of The New York TimesLamented about how she felt bad for Raveneau. She was only “stepping(ping up) to defend the company’s queer friendliness” and was then “made a national subject of right-wing fury & disgust.” Her injection of LGBTQ propaganda in children’s content was “sweetly ne. CNN was the host Washington Post Charlotte Clymer (transgender columnist) added “LGBT Community LATEST TO BE Caught in Culture War” According to the social Left the bottom line is that everyone who defends traditionalist child-rearing, or simply does not want children made into sexual targets, is a cultural aggressor.
It is an open lie. It’s also a transparent lie. And this lies won’t work in the favor of radical reformers. They will likely make gay rights worse if they try to impose the gay rights rubric on parental rights. Parents are not likely to agree to their suggestion that LGBTQ freedom includes teachers initiating sexual conversations with children without permission. Social Left has been asserting that people just want to be left alone, for many decades. However, the Right has claimed that the Left’s agenda goes much further, that they demand cultural celebrations of their sexual prowess, and will do anything to make society more like its ideals. Disney’s recent forays into culture wars proves the Right right. The Left’s declared agenda is a lie, and its “not at-all secret” agenda targets the most vulnerable Americans.
Disney is not showing any signs of retreating from extremism, despite all its hands meeting openly before the entire world. Others are also following Disney’s footsteps, advocating wild Left advocacy rather than catering to the widest possible audience. Americans are too resigned to their past, expecting that the forces and freedom of the market will prevent cultural hijacking by corporate institutions. Instead of being built from entrepreneurs, the corporations have been taken over by untrained employees and an inept managerial class. This will cause real backlash, and that should not be surprising. If that means Mickey Mouse is being resented by parents, they are likely to do so.
