DISNEY’S “DON’T SAY GAY” STANCE WASN’T THE FIRST TIME BETRAYED S LGBTQ FANS

He is now retired, sgle, sg and reflective on what he's watched the LGBT world, specifilly, gay bar life, datg back to the 1960s, when he first was a ctomer. So I n unrstand why many of my fellow gay st members were upset when they heard that the Florida ernment had voted for the “Don’t Say Gay Bill.

” They looked back on their own childhoods and wonred how thgs would have been different if someone had told them was OK to be gay. The are sad stori and I empathize wh the emotns volved, so I unrstand why there was a visceral reactn to hearg that Florida was enactg a bill that stopped teachers om sayg the word ‘gay. “Dpe what you may have heard, the Parental Rights Edutn Act do not require schools to out gay stunts to abive parents; nor do erase gay people and gay history.

Rather, the Parental Rights Edutn Act would protect children – cludg young lbians and gay boys – om exposure to appropriate sexual ntent, and give lovg and supportive parents accs to the rmatn they need to protect and gui their children.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR CHILD SAYS: "I'M GAY"

“The Parental Rights Edutn Act, which major news outlets and homophobic anizatns have smeared as a “Don’t Say Gay” bill, isn’t about gay erasure at all.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR GUY FRIEND IS GAY

It do not prohib age-appropriate discsn of sexual orientatn middle- or high school sex ed, and do not prohib the discsn of gay history class beyond third gra. This was done tentnally—there has been an outpourg of support and acceptance om the public-at-large sce gay marriage was ma legal, so those fightg the bill knew any attack on gay people would be met wh outrage. Any gay adult man who felt a kship wh that ltle boy drsed as Tker Bell should be ma aware of this: It is a very different world om the time you grew up—even om the world ten years ago.

This is what is at the re of teachg genr inty, and is a form of nversn, jt as ntemptible as those relig groups that attempt to pray the gay away. As a gay man and employee of Disney, I support the Parental Rights Edutn Act and feel the need to go on rerd that I do not agree wh the Disney LGBTQ+ lears and groups that purport to speak on my behalf. While we do not align polilly wh the proponents of this bill and we fully unrstand that many of s proponents are likely homophobic addn to beg cril of self-ID, we do agree that genr iology is a harmful and anti-scientific narrative that has no place schools.

One day we hope to see a bill that explicly and unambiguoly protects #LGB and genr-nonnformg youth om both discrimatn and om genr iology whout any roots homophobia.
