Disney General Entertainment President Karey Burke, whose children identify as transgender and pansexual, backed a company initiative that by the end of the year, at least half of all future characters in productions will either be LGBTQIA or from racial minorities.

Burke is in charge of content for Disney and following Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signing the “Parental Rights in Education” bill into law, she is upping the ante and doubling down on Disney’s pro-gay policies regardless of the backlash.

She proclaimed that Disney has to do more to be inclusive during a company-wide all-hands conference call in leaked video that was shared on Twitter by journalist Christopher Rufo.

Burke became emotional in the video, claiming that the issue was personal because of her children.

“I’m here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,” she stated during the virtual meeting which got the attention of Florida’s GOP governor who spoke about the company that makes its theme-park home in the Sunshine State.

 

“I have heard so much from so many of my colleagues over the past few weeks in open forums, through emails and phone conversations,” Burke claimed. “I feel a responsibility to speak not just for myself but also for [my kids].”

She called 20th Century Fox “the home of really incredible, groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years,” but feels they could do more.

“One of our execs stood up and said, ‘You know we only have a handful of queer leads in our content,'” Burke commented. “I went, ‘What? That can’t be true.’ And then I realized it is true.”

She is joined by another Disney top executive, diversity and inclusion head Vivian Ware who reminded employees that the company no longer addresses theme park visitors as “ladies and gentleman, boys and girls” but as “dreamers” and “friends.”

“Last summer we removed all gendered greetings in relationship to our live spiels,” Ware noted in another video posted by Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

“We no longer say ‘Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,'” she announced. “We’ve provided training to all our cast members so now they know it’s ‘Hello, everyone or hello, friends.”

“We want to create that magic moment with our guests,” she remarked. “We don’t want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess.'”

Television Animation Executive Producer Latoya Raveneau also praised Disney’s inclusivity and bragged about the company “adding queerness” to its shows and productions.

“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-so-secret gay agenda,” she remarked. “Wherever I could I was adding queerness. No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

Disney employees and gay activists have been walking out and protesting DeSantis’ so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill which is a misnomer. The bill signed by the Florida Republican prohibits teaching young children through grade 3 any lessons on sexuality, gender identity, and sexual orientation “in a manner that is not age-appropriate.”

The blatant wokism of pandering to liberal politics and the gay agenda has been fiercely protested by parents and is sure to severely impact Disney’s bottom line.

Disney, however, has not been deterred. It has, in fact, gone all-in on the gay agenda, openly promoting it much further.

The company began promoting a campaign called “Reimagine Tomorrow” in September that will represent more minority groups and the gay agenda whether parents approve or not.

“By 2022, 50% of regular and recurring characters across Disney General Entertainment scripted content will come from underrepresented groups,” the campaign states.

Nadine Smith, the co-founder of Equality Florida, was also part of the virtual meeting by Disney and claimed in the video that there is a strong anti-gay movement in Florida that wants to take kids away from their parents.

“When they can erase you, when they can criminalize your existence, when they can demonize who you are, the next step is to criminalize you and take your kids,” she disingenuously claimed, attempting to weaponize an unfounded fear.

Disney has also announced it would reinstate a kissing scene between two women in “Lightyear,” which is a spinoff of the “Toy Story” franchise.

Former Arkansas Governor and former Republican presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee commented, “They used to be family-friendly, kid-friendly. Heck, I can remember when Disney was the brand that parents could trust. Whether it was the television shows, their movies, their merchandise. Not anymore!”

  1. Disney should change the names of their park. Gayland, Pedoland, LGBTQland, Queerland,

  2. It is a rare series I have been watching lately on the main-line channels that doesn’t already have at least one character representing one of the alphabitty communities.

    1. The new “Law & Order” show is nothing but a vehicle for wokeness and perceived racial injustice … my wife said she has watched her last one … and you’re right – virtually every show has introduced new characters who are of the alphabet community with “wokeness” abound … …

  3. PARENTS had BETTER speak up and NOTHING SPEAKS LOUDER THAN “NO – YOU ARE NOT GETTING MY MONEY”!! If PARENTS don’t fight this it will continue until THEY have NO CHOICE in the matter!! The SCHOOLS and libers will DETERMINE what your CHILDREN WILL BE!! I know I can NEVER SUPPORT or ALLOW a disney product to enter MY HOME!!

  4. 5%of the population identifies as queer and 1% as Trans – why would the rest of us really give a shit ? Disney is now run by pedos ! Enough already . May we please get back to majority rule and true journalism ?

  5. Wouldn’t Walt be so proud of what his dream that he made real has become.
    We apologize Mr. Disney.

  6. These people are sick in the head. Anybody advocating the sexualizing of kids is sick. Pure lunacy.

  8. Just straight out, this will destroy Disney. When you cater to a population of less than 3% and alienate the other 97% your company is, pretty much, done!!

  9. I’d suggest a boycott of all TV shows or movies with LGBTQ characters but there would be nothing left to watch. Which is sad considering only four percent of our population fits in that category. Why are our values less important than theirs? We need to stop pandering to these people and the corporations that support them.

    1. There are PLENTY of old movies that were made back when SANE people ruled the world!! I RARELY watch ANYTHING on network tv anymore!

  10. This is sickening I’m taking my 4 yr old granddaughter to Disneyland in a few weeks not only is it extremely expensive I don’t want her to be infatuated with Disneyland if they are promoting anything but male and female. This lady should be fired!

  11. Burke you and the freaks you turned your children into are sick. There is not a character imagination or not that could equal your Sick insane mind. To do what you have done to A child is beyond evil.
    KEEP YOUR SICK PERVERSE EVIL TOWARDS CHILDREN IN YOUR OWN DEMONIC FAMILY.
    DISNEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR THE DEMONIC IGNORANCE TOWARD NORMAL STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

  12. Disney=Propaganda + Indoctrination ! Where did Disney find this Lunatic who obviously needs some Mental Help ! By the way……HOW did her “kids” get SO screwed up ??

  14. Disney has officially jumped the shark. There are not enough alphabet people in the world to support that corporate behemoth and when you piss off the rest of us, your days as a profitable entity are numbered.

  15. That’s fine. They are a private business shooting themselves in the foot.
    Lets see how many parents take their kids to a crappy theme park pushing indecency on their kids.

  16. “F” Disney! “F” the alphabet soup crowd! “F” dems!

    If you’re a Conservative and you continue to give your money to this filthy, soulless company, then you’re not a Conservative, you’re a liberal POS.

  17. Disneyland prices are sky high….the average family is lucky if they can go there once in their lives AND the parks are still overcrowded. So maybe it is time for Mickey and Minnie to head off into the sunset….

    1. They are still overcrowded. That means people are still foking over a grand to spend a day there with a family of four.
      It will be alot less crowded when normal people stop visiting

  18. Someone who publicly brags about their child’s identity confusions suggests this parent is guilty of mental/emotional abuse. Parents should protect their children’s privacy, not trot it out to score points with the “woke” fringe.

  19. Let me see if I got this right. Combined, lesbians, gays, and transsexuals make up less than 4.5% of the American population, but Disney insists on catering to them, knowing it will drive the business of the other 95% to other companies. There is actually senior management that believes this is s good business decision? They must be the same management that has no issues with concentration camps in China. FJB

  20. This is really about what is Holy and Evil. Good v Evil. God v Godless. It’s NOT about republicans v democrats. There’s Godless on BOTH sides. Until we clean out our own closet, we shouldn’t try cleaning others. Whataboutism doesn’t work. On either side. On paper it looks/sounds good. But in real life, two people on opposite sides could go on forever with “Oh yea? What about…?” It doesn’t work. Until we clean our own house, it doesn’t matter what their house looks like.

  21. Put up with the inconvenience and boycott all things Disney!
    Let the queers support them!

  23. If you want to be gay-queer -whatever that’s between you,God and your therapist. You fu** with children and push these beliefs on them we’re gonna have a problem!

    1. That’s the nice, reasonable lie Satan deceives us with! Oh, if they do it at home, I don’t care. “Righteousness exults a nation, but sin is a reproach to any land”
      God’s Word, and experience, tells us it NEVER stays “in the bedroom”! It’s a putrid cancer that always spreads and infects the entire culture when tolerated.
      That’s why God’s law was zero tolerance, capital punishment for such behaviors!

  24. Holy smokes! This is really going off the tracks. Gay this, queer that, I am hearing more about the sickness than the cure. Just because this FEMALE, WOMAN, MOTHER of two has a couple of kids who are not sure of their identity, why do the rest of the people who pay to be entertained have to put up with her crap? What if her kids were murderers ?

  25. Let’s see….. the most recent data shows that about 1% of the population is trans, and about 3% is gay, yet Disney wants to be dragged along by the angry, unhinged, unAmerican left to have HALF their characters fall within these two groups?

    talk about tone deaf, tin eared, and out of touch with the mainstream.

  26. This current Disney company shares only one thing with the company Walt founded, its name. Sorry to say it, but I don’t see half the population wanting to jump on the LGBTQS+2XYZ movement. I for one have dropped this wacko sleazy company and its trash offerings from my plan to view list. Their theme parks are also off my to visit list. Go woke go broke. Can’t happen soon enough for me.

  27. I am going to start a letter-writing campaign, in which the letters would be addressed to “Disney perverts”. No one should go to Disney. NO ONE.

  28. The “don’t say Gay” bill that doesn’t even have the word “gay” in it. They used to twist the truth but now the Left and all their minions spout bold faced lies again and again. It’s about more than just being “Woke”. Disney, Nike, Coke, the NBA, etc., etc., all bow to the CCP and the Democrats who want to destroy America. Why? Because China has a potential market of 1.5 BILLION people vs. a measly 3.3 million in the U.S. Always follow the money……

  29. Disney emulates WallyWorld! Gates will be padlocked, when attendance fails to pay the electric bills. In the meantime, the parks will be populated with blue-haired leftists, enjoying the degradation of humanity they’ve spearheaded. Just imagine the excitement of visiting Sodomy Land for the first time!

  31. Are the groomers pushing this because their own children were groomed? Are they trying to normalize this because they don’t feel it is normal?

  32. If it’s that important to her, and she’s convinced that promoting sexual perversions is the best means to increase viewers and revenue, why doesn’t she completely cancel the heterosexual life style and arrange to make every character in every disney production have some sort of major sexual deviancy and just get it over with?

    If it doesn’t work out, blame Trump!
