THE STATEMENT OM THE PIXAR EMPLOYE IS A RPONSE TO A PANY-WI MEMO SENT BY DISNEY CEO BOB CHAPEK, WHICH CHAPEK SAID THAT THE “BIGGT IMPACT WE N HAVE CREATG A MORE CLIVE WORLD IS THROUGH THE SPIRG NTENT WE PRODUCE.”BUT THE PIXAR EMPLOYE BEHD THE LETTER SAY THEY’VE FELT STIFLED AND STYMIED THEIR ATTEMPTS TO CLU MORE CLIVE NTENT THEIR FILMS. “WE AT PIXAR HAVE PERSONALLY WNSED BETIFUL STORI, FULL OF DIVERSE CHARACTERS, E BACK OM DISNEY RPORATE REVIEWS SHAVED DOWN TO CMBS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE,” THE LETTER STAT. “EVEN IF CREATG LGBTQIA+ NTENT WAS THE ANSWER TO FIXG THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN THE WORLD, WE ARE BEG BARRED OM CREATG .”PIXAR MA HEADL 2020 FOR TRODUCG S FIRST OPENLY GAY CHARACTER, SPECTER—A CYCLOPS POLICE OFFICER VOICED BY LENA WAHE— THE FILM ONWARD. AS VARIETY NOT, SPECTER’S QUEER INTY, HOWEVER, WAS ONLY ADDRSED PASSG, WH THE LE: “IT’S NOT EASY BEG A NEW PARENT—MY GIRLIEND’S DGHTER GOT ME PULLG MY HAIR OUT, OKAY?” ONWARD WAS BANNED KUWA, OMAN, QATAR, AND SDI ARABIA DUE TO THE SCENE, AND THE WORD “GIRLIEND” WAS CHANGED TO “PARTNER” THE RSIAN RELEASE OF THE FILM, ACRDG TO VARIETY. DISNEY ALSO RELEASED OUT, A SHORT FILM ABOUT A GAY MAN WHO STGGL WH G OUT TO HIS PARENTS, ON DISNEY+ THAT SAME YEAR.THE PIXAR EMPLOYEE LETTER MANDS THAT DISNEY WHDRAW FANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ALL LEGISLATORS WHO SUPPORTED THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL AND “TAKE A CISIVE PUBLIC STAND” AGAST ALL SUCH LEGISLATN. AT A SHAREHOLR’S MEETG ON WEDNDAY, CHAPEK SAID THAT DISNEY WOULD PLEDGE $5 LN TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN AND OTHER LGBTQ RIGHTS ANIZATNS, AND SAID THAT HE LLED FLORIDA ERNOR RON DESANTIS TO DISCS DISNEY’S “NCERN” WH THE BILL. THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN LATER ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WOULD REFE DISNEY’S DONATN UNTIL “MEANGFUL ACTN IS TAKEN TO BAT” THE LEGISLATN. “WHILE SIGNG ON TO DONATE TO THE HRC IS A STEP THE RRECT DIRECTN, THE SHAREHOLR MEETG ON WEDNDAY MA CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH,” READS THE LETTER OM PIXAR’S LGBTQIA+ EMPLOYE. “DISNEY DID NOT TAKE A HARD STANCE SUPPORT OF THE LGBTQIA+ MUNY, THEY STEAD ATTEMPTED TO PLATE ‘BOTH SIS’—AND DID NOT NMN HATEFUL MSAG SHARED DURG THE QUTN AND ANSWER PORTN OF THE MEETG.” DISNEY DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RPOND TO A REQUT FOR MENT.YOU N READ THE LETTER FULL BELOW:A STATEMENT TO LEARSHIP OM THE LGBTQIA+ EMPLOYE OF PIXAR & THEIR ALLIWE ARE WRG BEE WE ARE DISAPPOTED, HURT, AAID, AND ANGRY. IN REGARDS TO DISNEY’S FANCIAL VOLVEMENT WH LEGISLATORS BEHD THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL, WE HOPED THAT OUR PANY WOULD SHOW UP FOR . BUT DIDN’T.MONDAY’S EMAIL, “OUR UNWAVERG COMMMENT TO THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNY”, RANG HOLLOW. IT BEGAN WH THE CLAIM THAT DISNEY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF SUPPORTG THE LGBT MUNY, BUT DISNEY PARKS DID NOT OFFICIALLY HOST PRI UNTIL 2019, PARIS ALONE. DISNEY HAS A HISTORY OF SHUTTG DOWN FAN-CREATED PRI EVENTS THE PARKS, EVEN REMOVG SAME-SEX UPL FOR DANCG TOGETHER THE 1980’S. ADDNALLY, DISNEY BEGAN PALIZG ON PRI 2018 WH THE RABOW MICKEY COLLECTN, (WHILE -EMPHASIZG THE TERMS LIKE LGBTQ+ AND NOT EVEN FEATURG EXPLICLY LGBTQIA+ PIEC SUCH AS PRI FLAG PS UNTIL 2021). TO THIS END, FEELS TERRIBLE TO BE A PART OF A PANY THAT MAK MONEY OM PRI MERCH WHEN CHOOS TO “STEP BACK” TIM OF OUR GREATT NEED, WHEN OUR RIGHTS ARE AT RISK.THE SEND CLAIM STATED THAT “RPORATE STATEMENTS DO VERY LTLE TO CHANGE OUT OR MDS”. HOWEVER, THE VERY EMAIL MAKG THIS CLAIM OPENED WH A RPORATE STATEMENT REGARDG THE ONGOG SUATN UKRAE. EIGHT DAYS AFTER RSIA VAD UKRAE, DISNEY PSED THE RELEASE OF THEATRIL FILMS RSIA AND ANNOUNCED “WE WILL MAKE FUTURE BS CISNS BASED ON THE EVOLVG SUATN.” FOLLOWG THE SIEGE ON THE PAL 2021, DISNEY STOPPED ALL POLIL DONATNS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRS WHO HAD OBJECTED TO THE PRINTIAL ELECTN RULTS. IN 2016, DISNEY TOLD THE STATE OF GEIA: “WE WILL PLAN TO TAKE OUR BS ELSEWHERE SHOULD ANY LEGISLATN ALLOWG DISCRIMATORY PRACTIC BE SIGNED TO STATE LAW” RPONSE TO THE NTROVERSIAL RELIG LIBERTY BILL. BY TAKG A STAND, DISNEY DIRECTLY AFFECTED THE LEGISLATIVE OUTE GEIA. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT DISNEY’S RPORATE STATEMENTS N AND DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.FALLY, WE E TO THE PH FOR CONTENT AS THE ANSWER. WE AT PIXAR HAVE PERSONALLY WNSED BETIFUL STORI, FULL OF DIVERSE CHARACTERS, E BACK OM DISNEY RPORATE REVIEWS SHAVED DOWN TO CMBS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE. NEARLY EVERY MOMENT OF OVERTLY GAY AFFECTN IS CUT AT DISNEY’S BEHT, REGARDLS OF WHEN THERE IS PROTT OM BOTH THE CREATIVE TEAMS AND EXECUTIVE LEARSHIP AT PIXAR. EVEN IF CREATG LGBTQIA+ NTENT WAS THE ANSWER TO FIXG THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN THE WORLD, WE ARE BEG BARRED OM CREATG . BEYOND THE “SPIRG NTENT” THAT WE AREN’T EVEN ALLOWED TO CREATE, WE REQUIRE ACTN.WE ARE LLG ON DISNEY LEARSHIP TO IMMEDIATELY WHDRAW ALL FANCIAL SUPPORT OM THE LEGISLATORS BEHD THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL, TO FULLY NOUNCE THIS LEGISLATN PUBLICLY, AND TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THEIR FANCIAL VOLVEMENT. WHILE SIGNG ON TO DONATE TO THE HRC IS A STEP THE RRECT DIRECTN, THE SHAREHOLR MEETG ON WEDNDAY MA CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. THROUGHOUT THE SHAREHOLR MEETG, DISNEY DID NOT TAKE A HARD STANCE SUPPORT OF THE LGBTQIA+ MUNY, THEY STEAD ATTEMPTED TO PLATE “BOTH SIS” – AND DID NOT NMN HATEFUL MSAG SHARED DURG THE QUTN AND ANSWER PORTN OF THE MEETG. THIS IS NOT WHAT MEANS TO “UNEQUIVOLLY STAND SUPPORT OF OUR LGBTQ+ EMPLOYE, THEIR FAI, AND THEIR MUNI.”DISNEY TAKG A STAND BY HONORG THEIR PANY VALU HAS CHANGED THE URSE OF LEGISLATN THE PAST. IF DISNEY IS TE S VALU, WILL TAKE A CISIVE PUBLIC STAND AGAST THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN OCCURRG FLORIDA AND OFFER TANGIBLE SUPPORT FOR THE LGBTQIA+ MUNI AFFECTED BY BIGOTED LEGISLATN SWEEPG THE UNTRY. STAND AGAST THIS BILL FLORIDA AND AGAST THE SIAR BILLS SOUTH CAROLA, ARIZONA, VIRGIA, AND TENNSEE. STAND AGAST THE TRANSPHOBIC LEGISLATN TEXAS, IOWA, UTAH, KANSAS, INDIANA, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, AND ALABAMA. MANY HATEFUL GROUPS ARE ATTEMPTG TO ERADITE THROUGH LEGISLATN – WE NEED YOU TO STAND WH ENTIRELY, NOT EMPTY WORDS.THIS MATTER IS NOT SOMETHG THAT N WA UNTIL REIMAGE TOMORROW APRIL, OR PRI MONTH JUNE. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRSED NOW. THIS IS URGENT. 42% OF LGBTQIA+ YOUTH SERLY NSIRED SUICI 2021, CLUDG MORE THAN HALF OF TRANSGENR AND NONBARY YOUTH, WH A LARGE FACTOR BEG THE LACK OF SUPPORT THAT THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATNS ENABLE. DISNEY CLAIMS TO RE FOR THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN, BUT SUPPORTG POLICIANS LIKE THIS DIRECTLY HURTS ONE OF THEIR MOST VULNERABLE DIENC. THERE ARE LIV AT STAKE AND DISNEY’S SUPPORT ULD SAVE THOSE LIV. “WE STILL HAVE MORE WORK TO DO,” YOUR EMAIL SAID. THIS IS THAT WORK.SIGNED WH PRI,THE LGBTQIA+ EMPLOYE OF PIXAR, AND THEIR ALLIMORE GREAT STORI FROM VANY FAIR— JERRY LEWIS’S COSTARS SPEAK OUT: “HE GRABBED ME. HE BEGAN TO FONDLE ME.

WELL, I WAS DOG A BUNCH OF PREP FOR MY UPG STAY AT WALT DISNEY WORLD FEBARY 2018, AND I THOUGHT I SHOULD GET CRACKG ON SOME ARTICL! SCE I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE PLANNG AND MAKG DISNEY TRIPS, I THOUGHT I’D OFFER YOU MY THOUGHTS.FIRST, THE SPIR OF FULL TRANSPARENCY, I WILL TELL YOU THAT, WHEN I VIS WALT DISNEY WORLD, I ALWAYS STAY AT A WALT DISNEY WORLD RORT HOTEL. WHEN I VIS DISNEYLAND, HOWEVER, I UALLY DON’T. SO I N SAY THAT THERE ARE FELY PROS AND NS. PART OF THE REASON FOR THIS IS ACTUALLY THAT, WHEN I VIS WDW, I’M UALLY STAYG FOR AN EXTEND TIME, BUT MY DL VISS TEND TO BE PART OF SOME LARGER OVERALL TRIP TO CALIFORNIA. MORE ON THAT LATER.SO WHY SHOULD YOU NSIR STAYG AT A DISNEY RORT WHILE VISG THE PARKS? IN MY OPN, THERE ARE THREE MA REASONS: LOTN, PERKS, AND MAGIC.WHEN YOU STAY AT A WDW RORT, YOU’RE JT MUT OM THE PARKS. IN THE SE OF SOME, SUCH AS THE CONTEMPORARY, YOU’RE WH WALKG DISTANCE. IF YOU STAY OFF-SE, YOU HAVE TO ARRANGE TO ARRIVE SI THE PLEX, TAKE THE LONG TRANSPORTATN TIME TO ACUNT, AL WH SHUTTLE SCHL & PARKG, ETC. STAYG ON SE LEADS TO A MORE LEISURELY PACE OF ARRIVAL, SCE YOU’RE PRETTY MUCH ALREADY THERE.THERE ARE TONS OF PERKS STAYG AT THE RORTS, STARTG OFF WH THE DISNEY TRANSPORTATN SYSTEM. RORTS ARE SERVICED BY A VARIETY OF TRANSPORTATN OPTNS, CLUDG B, BOATS, MONORAILS, THE NEW “MNIE VAN” SERVIC, AND THE FORTHG “SKYLER” GONDOLAS. THE HELP YOU GET OM YOUR RORTS TO THE PARKS, AND THEY’RE PLETELY EE TO E. THERE’S ALSO THE DISNEY’S MAGIL EXPRS, WHICH GETS YOU OM THE AIRPORT TO YOUR RORT AT THE BEGNG OF THE TRIP AND THEN BACK AT THE END. IF YOU’RE ON SPECIFIC PARTNERED AIRL, EVEN LETS YOU CHECK YOUR LUGGAGE RIGHT AT THE HOTEL.ANOTHER GREAT PERK OF STAYG ON SE IS THE ABILY TO RERVE KEY ELEMENTS, LIKE DG PLANS AND FASTPASS, ADVANCE OF WHEN EVERYONE ELSE N. THIS ALONE MIGHT BE THE BT REASON TO STAY ONSE, AS THOSE STAYG OFFSE HAVE TO TAKE WHAT THEY N GET AFTER RORT GUTS HAVE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH WIPED OUT THE MOST POPULAR OPTNS. IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE NEW HOTNS, SUCH AS FROZEN EVER AFTER OR FLIGHT OF PASSAGE, BE PREPARED TO TAKE FASTPASS AT ODD, AWKWARD TIM OR ELSE TO STAND LE.ONE MORE AWOME PERK IS EXTRA MAGIC HOURS. EVERY DAY, ONE PARK EHER OPENS AN HOUR EARLY OR STAYS OPEN UP TO THREE HOURS LATER. THIS N BE A GREAT WAY TO GET TO THE PARKS WH LIMED FOLKS THERE. REALLY WORKS WELL FOR PURPOS OF SNEAKG A BUNCH OF RIS BEFORE THGS CROWD UP.PAST THE PERKS, THERE’S ALSO THE PERK OF DISNEY MAGIC. FROM ROOM THEMG TO BETIFUL LANDSPG TO CREDIBLY POOLS, EVERY RORT HAS S OWN CHARACTER AND CHARM. IT REALLY DO FEEL LIKE BEG PART OF THE MAGIC OF THE EXPERIENCE OM THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE. LTLE TOUCH OFTEN FD THEIR WAY TO YOUR STAY. WHETHER ’S WAKE-UP LLS OM MICKEY OR STCH, TOWELS ARRANGED THE SHAP OF ANIMALS, OR FDG YOUR KIDS’ STUFFED TOYS ARRANGED A TEA PARTY, THERE ARE JT GREAT LTLE THGS THAT HAPPEN THAT THERE’S NO WAY TO PREDICT.NOW, WH THE MD, WHAT REASONS ULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE FOR NOT STAYG ON SE? IN MY OPN, MOSTLY BOILS DOWN TO COST. THERE’S NO WAY AROUND – DISNEY RORTS ARE PRETTY EXPENSIVE. I’VE BEEN LUCKY, THAT MY BROTHER IS A DISNEY VATN CLUB MEMBER WHO HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF HIS POTS. MANY YEARS, WE PAY FOR HIS DU AND E HIS POTS WH HIS BLSG. THIS HAS ALLOWED ME TO STAY AT THE TREEHOE VILLAS, THE ANIMAL KGDOM LODGE, THE GRAND CALIFORNIAN, AND, ON AN UPG TRIP, BAY LAKE TOWER AND THE POLYNIAN RORT. PRR TO THAT, MY TRIPS WERE GENERALLY SPENT AT THE ALL-STAR RORTS AND POP CENTURY. THEY’RE STILL DISNEY RORTS AND STILL NICE, BUT THEY’RE NOT AS NICE AS OTHERS I’VE STAYED AT SCE.ONE OF THE REASONS I GENERALLY DON’T GET A DISNEY HOTEL WHEN I VIS DISNEYLAND IS ST. THERE ARE MANY GREAT, EXPENSIVE PARTNER HOTELS WH SHUTTL TO DISNEYLAND AROUND THE AREA. GIVEN HOW MANY VATN CLUB POTS THE DISNEYLAND HOTELS ST, I’D RATHER SAVE THOSE POTS FOR BIG WDW VISS.THAT BEG SAID, THERE’S NOTHG WRONG WH THE ALL-STAR RORTS, POP CENTURY, AND ART OF ANIMATN. THEY HAVE ALL THE PERKS OF THE OTHER RORTS, AND I’VE NOTICED THE STAFF THERE GO OUT OF THE WAY TO BE NICE AND ACMODATG. THE ONLY NEGATIV MIGHT BE THAT THEY ARE MORE MOTEL-LIKE THAN A LOT OF THE OTHER RORTS, AND THEY’RE OFTEN ED BY LARGE FAI WH KIDS. FOR ME, THAT’S NO BIG AL; I PRETTY MUCH E A ROOM TO SLEEP, SHOWER, AND LEAVE MY STUFF. I WON’T LIE – HAVG A THREE-BEDROOM SUE WH VIEWS OVER THE SAVANNAH WAS AMAZG. BUT FOR A BASIC TRIP IF I ULDN’T E THE VATN CLUB POTS? I’D BE PERFECTLY HAPPY AT THE LS EXPENSIVE VALUE RORTS.I HOPE THIS ARTICLE HAS GIVEN YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT. FEEL EE TO H ME WH ANY QUTNS ABOUT THE RORTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. UNTIL NEXT TIME…SEE YOU REAL SOON. WHY? BEE WE LIKE YOU.#DISNEY#DISNEYLAND#WALTDISNEYWORLD#WALT DISNEY WORLD#GAY DISNEY#DISNEYLOVE#DISNEYLIFE#DISNEY HOTELS#DISNEY RORT#DISNEY REARCHGAY4DISNEY FOLLOWDISNEY’S FIRST GAY CHARACTER?I REMEMBER VISG DISNEY WH MY 14-YEAR OLD NEPHEW. AT ONE POT, WHILE LOUNGG THE POOL WH HIM, MY HOEMATE JAY, AND MY HBAND STEVE, WE REALIZED THAT THE FOLLOWG DAY WAS NATNAL COMG OUT DAY. I LAMENTED THE CHANCE TO HAVE MA A SHIRT, AND WE DISCSED POSSIBLE OPTNS:SIMBA HUGGG TIMON & PUMBAA AND WISHG “HAPPY COMG OUT DAY TO MY TWO DADS”…HAPPY OFFERG FLOWERS TO BASHFUL.THUMPER SAYG “NO DUH!” SARSTILLY TO FLOWER.THIS EVOLVED TO A FURTHER DISCSN ON WHICH DISNEY CHARACTERS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GAY. MY FAVORE QUOTE WAS WHEN MY NEPHEW SAID, “WELL, STATISTILLY, WOULDN’T SOME OF THE 101 DALMATIANS HAVE TO BE?”NOW, SOME YEARS LATER, DISNEY ACTUALLY HAS A GAY CHARACTER…TWO OF THEM FACT. AND I THOUGHT I’D HIP YOU TO , SE YOU DIDN’T NOTICE.NOW WHEN I SAY A GAY CHARACTER, I’M NOT TALKG ABOUT SPECULATN AND SUBTEXT. LIKE, FLOWER IS PRETTY MUCH FLIRTG WH BAMBI THE FIRST SCENE WHEN WE MEET HIM, AND THE WAY OWL SAYS THAT BEG TWTERPATED ULD EVEN HAPPEN TO HIM SUGGTS THAT OWL KNOWS SOMETHG’S UP WH OUR SKUNK IEND WH THE LONG EYELASH.THERE’S A PRETTY STRONG MOVEMENT TO GIVE QUEEN ELSA OF ARENLLE A GIRLIEND IF THEY EVER MOVE A ROMANTIC DIRECTN WH HER.  AND THE DIRECTORS OF MOANA HAVE SAID THAT THEY ULD EASILY SEE HER AS BEG GAY. TIMON & PUMBAA…THAT LONG, LOVG LOOK TO EACH OTHERS’ EY LN KG 1 ½, FOLLOWED BY A DISSOLVE…YEAH…BUT NO. NOT EVEN TALKG ABOUT THAT. NOR AM I TALKG ABOUT OAKEN AND HIS FAY THE SNA…THOUGH I LOVE THE IA OF OAKEN AS THIS BIG, SWEET BEAR.I’M NOT EVEN TALKG ABOUT LEFOU. FIRST OFF, THIS IS A PLETE RETNNG OF THE CHARACTER. THERE WAS NOTHG THE ORIGAL BETY & THE BEAST TO SUGGT LEFOU WAS ANYTHG BUT A TOADY TO GASTON, AND THE FIRST GAY CHARACTER A DISNEY MOVIE ME BEFORE THE REMAKE ME OUT ANYWAY.HEH. CAME OUT.NO, THE FIRST SCERELY, OFFICIALLY GAY CHARACTER A DISNEY FILM…OR RATHER THE FIRST TWO…ARE A PAIR OF UNGULAT ZOOTOPIA.YUP. JUDY’S NEIGHBORS.AND NO, THIS IS NOT A THEORY.THE CHARACTERS ARE LISTED THE VOICE ST AS BUCKY AND PRONK ORYX-ANTLERSON. THEY ARE CLEARLY TWO DIFFERENT VARIETI OF ANTELOP, SO THEY’RE NOT BROTHERS, AS SOME HAVE OPED. BUT Y, SOME HAVE SUGGTED THAT, SPE THE FACT THAT HYPHENATED LAST NAM ARE UALLY THE SIGN OF A MARRIAGE, THAT THE TWO ULD BE PART OF A FAY…ADOPTED BROTHERS, PERHAPS?SO LET’S TURN TO THE REAL EXPERT…THE WRER AND -DIRECTOR, JARED BH, WHO ALSO VOICED PRONK. WHEN ASKED ON TWTER IF HE’D EVER MENTED ON THE NATURE OF THEIR RELATNSHIP, HE REPLIED, “THEY ARE A GAY MARRIED UPLE. BUT THEY DON'T YELL AT EACH OTHER BEE THEY'RE GAY, THEY YELL BEE THEY'RE REAL. ;)”I’M PRETTY SURE THE WRER AND -DIRECTOR IS AS CLOSE TO AN EXPERT AS WE’RE GOG TO GET, SO THERE YOU GO. BUT WHAT I LIKE BT ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE CHARACTERS BEG GAY ISN’T A PLOT POT, OR ANYTHG IMPORTANT TO THE STORY. IT’S JT SOMETHG THAT HAPPENS TO BE. DO I WANT AN OPENLY GAY MA CHARACTER OM DISNEY? SURE I DO. BUT I N WA. I WAED THIS LONG TO GET BUCKY & PRONK. I N WA UNTIL WE GET MORE.SMALL STEPS.#DISNEY#DISNERD#DISNEYLOVE#DISNEYLIFE#GAY#GAY DISNEY#ZOOTOPIA#JARED BH#BUCKY AND PRONKGAY4DISNEY FOLLOWMY DISNEY EXPERIENCE

DISNEY'S 8 'FIRST OPENLY GAY' CHARACTERS, RANKED (BY HOW EMBARRASSED DISNEY SHOULD FEEL)

Gay Days might be an unofficial event, but Disney has long taken a progrsive stance toward gay marriage and LGBTQIA+ issu. In the 1990s, before the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage natnwi, The Walt Disney Company offered gay and lbian employe surance for their partners. In Febary, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis troduced the Parental Rights Edutn Act, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Disney released a statement on March 3 but didn’t directly mentn the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which was later passed to law. Other nservative Republin policians like Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Mar Rub publicly attacked Disney for s stance on the law and refal to censor a gay kiss Pixar’s Lightyear (2022). He was brought out of retirement to steward the pany through the most difficult chapter s 100-year history, entangled a war wh Florida ernor Ron year DeSantis signed to law the Parental Rights Edutn Act – the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” – which prohibs classroom discsn of sexual orientatn and genr inty.

THE STATEMENT OM THE PIXAR EMPLOYE IS A RPONSE TO A PANY-WI MEMO SENT BY DISNEY CEO BOB CHAPEK, WHICH CHAPEK SAID THAT THE “BIGGT IMPACT WE N HAVE CREATG A MORE CLIVE WORLD IS THROUGH THE SPIRG NTENT WE PRODUCE.”BUT THE PIXAR EMPLOYE BEHD THE LETTER SAY THEY’VE FELT STIFLED AND STYMIED THEIR ATTEMPTS TO CLU MORE CLIVE NTENT THEIR FILMS. “WE AT PIXAR HAVE PERSONALLY WNSED BETIFUL STORI, FULL OF DIVERSE CHARACTERS, E BACK OM DISNEY RPORATE REVIEWS SHAVED DOWN TO CMBS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE,” THE LETTER STAT. “EVEN IF CREATG LGBTQIA+ NTENT WAS THE ANSWER TO FIXG THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN THE WORLD, WE ARE BEG BARRED OM CREATG .”PIXAR MA HEADL 2020 FOR TRODUCG S FIRST OPENLY GAY CHARACTER, SPECTER—A CYCLOPS POLICE OFFICER VOICED BY LENA WAHE— THE FILM ONWARD.

DISNEY ALSO RELEASED OUT, A SHORT FILM ABOUT A GAY MAN WHO STGGL WH G OUT TO HIS PARENTS, ON DISNEY+ THAT SAME YEAR.THE PIXAR EMPLOYEE LETTER MANDS THAT DISNEY WHDRAW FANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ALL LEGISLATORS WHO SUPPORTED THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL AND “TAKE A CISIVE PUBLIC STAND” AGAST ALL SUCH LEGISLATN. AT A SHAREHOLR’S MEETG ON WEDNDAY, CHAPEK SAID THAT DISNEY WOULD PLEDGE $5 LN TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN AND OTHER LGBTQ RIGHTS ANIZATNS, AND SAID THAT HE LLED FLORIDA ERNOR RON DESANTIS TO DISCS DISNEY’S “NCERN” WH THE BILL. THE HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN LATER ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WOULD REFE DISNEY’S DONATN UNTIL “MEANGFUL ACTN IS TAKEN TO BAT” THE LEGISLATN. “WHILE SIGNG ON TO DONATE TO THE HRC IS A STEP THE RRECT DIRECTN, THE SHAREHOLR MEETG ON WEDNDAY MA CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH,” READS THE LETTER OM PIXAR’S LGBTQIA+ EMPLOYE. “DISNEY DID NOT TAKE A HARD STANCE SUPPORT OF THE LGBTQIA+ MUNY, THEY STEAD ATTEMPTED TO PLATE ‘BOTH SIS’—AND DID NOT NMN HATEFUL MSAG SHARED DURG THE QUTN AND ANSWER PORTN OF THE MEETG.” DISNEY DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RPOND TO A REQUT FOR MENT.YOU N READ THE LETTER FULL BELOW:A STATEMENT TO LEARSHIP OM THE LGBTQIA+ EMPLOYE OF PIXAR & THEIR ALLIWE ARE WRG BEE WE ARE DISAPPOTED, HURT, AAID, AND ANGRY. IN REGARDS TO DISNEY’S FANCIAL VOLVEMENT WH LEGISLATORS BEHD THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL, WE HOPED THAT OUR PANY WOULD SHOW UP FOR . BUT DIDN’T.MONDAY’S EMAIL, “OUR UNWAVERG COMMMENT TO THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNY”, RANG HOLLOW. IT BEGAN WH THE CLAIM THAT DISNEY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF SUPPORTG THE LGBT MUNY, BUT DISNEY PARKS DID NOT OFFICIALLY HOST PRI UNTIL 2019, PARIS ALONE. DISNEY HAS A HISTORY OF SHUTTG DOWN FAN-CREATED PRI EVENTS THE PARKS, EVEN REMOVG SAME-SEX UPL FOR DANCG TOGETHER THE 1980’S. ADDNALLY, DISNEY BEGAN PALIZG ON PRI 2018 WH THE RABOW MICKEY COLLECTN, (WHILE -EMPHASIZG THE TERMS LIKE LGBTQ+ AND NOT EVEN FEATURG EXPLICLY LGBTQIA+ PIEC SUCH AS PRI FLAG PS UNTIL 2021). TO THIS END, FEELS TERRIBLE TO BE A PART OF A PANY THAT MAK MONEY OM PRI MERCH WHEN CHOOS TO “STEP BACK” TIM OF OUR GREATT NEED, WHEN OUR RIGHTS ARE AT RISK.THE SEND CLAIM STATED THAT “RPORATE STATEMENTS DO VERY LTLE TO CHANGE OUT OR MDS”. HOWEVER, THE VERY EMAIL MAKG THIS CLAIM OPENED WH A RPORATE STATEMENT REGARDG THE ONGOG SUATN UKRAE. EIGHT DAYS AFTER RSIA VAD UKRAE, DISNEY PSED THE RELEASE OF THEATRIL FILMS RSIA AND ANNOUNCED “WE WILL MAKE FUTURE BS CISNS BASED ON THE EVOLVG SUATN.” FOLLOWG THE SIEGE ON THE PAL 2021, DISNEY STOPPED ALL POLIL DONATNS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRS WHO HAD OBJECTED TO THE PRINTIAL ELECTN RULTS. IN 2016, DISNEY TOLD THE STATE OF GEIA: “WE WILL PLAN TO TAKE OUR BS ELSEWHERE SHOULD ANY LEGISLATN ALLOWG DISCRIMATORY PRACTIC BE SIGNED TO STATE LAW” RPONSE TO THE NTROVERSIAL RELIG LIBERTY BILL. BY TAKG A STAND, DISNEY DIRECTLY AFFECTED THE LEGISLATIVE OUTE GEIA. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT DISNEY’S RPORATE STATEMENTS N AND DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.FALLY, WE E TO THE PH FOR CONTENT AS THE ANSWER. WE AT PIXAR HAVE PERSONALLY WNSED BETIFUL STORI, FULL OF DIVERSE CHARACTERS, E BACK OM DISNEY RPORATE REVIEWS SHAVED DOWN TO CMBS OF WHAT THEY ONCE WERE. NEARLY EVERY MOMENT OF OVERTLY GAY AFFECTN IS CUT AT DISNEY’S BEHT, REGARDLS OF WHEN THERE IS PROTT OM BOTH THE CREATIVE TEAMS AND EXECUTIVE LEARSHIP AT PIXAR. EVEN IF CREATG LGBTQIA+ NTENT WAS THE ANSWER TO FIXG THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN THE WORLD, WE ARE BEG BARRED OM CREATG . BEYOND THE “SPIRG NTENT” THAT WE AREN’T EVEN ALLOWED TO CREATE, WE REQUIRE ACTN.WE ARE LLG ON DISNEY LEARSHIP TO IMMEDIATELY WHDRAW ALL FANCIAL SUPPORT OM THE LEGISLATORS BEHD THE “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL, TO FULLY NOUNCE THIS LEGISLATN PUBLICLY, AND TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THEIR FANCIAL VOLVEMENT. WHILE SIGNG ON TO DONATE TO THE HRC IS A STEP THE RRECT DIRECTN, THE SHAREHOLR MEETG ON WEDNDAY MA CLEAR THAT THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. THROUGHOUT THE SHAREHOLR MEETG, DISNEY DID NOT TAKE A HARD STANCE SUPPORT OF THE LGBTQIA+ MUNY, THEY STEAD ATTEMPTED TO PLATE “BOTH SIS” – AND DID NOT NMN HATEFUL MSAG SHARED DURG THE QUTN AND ANSWER PORTN OF THE MEETG. THIS IS NOT WHAT MEANS TO “UNEQUIVOLLY STAND SUPPORT OF OUR LGBTQ+ EMPLOYE, THEIR FAI, AND THEIR MUNI.”DISNEY TAKG A STAND BY HONORG THEIR PANY VALU HAS CHANGED THE URSE OF LEGISLATN THE PAST. IF DISNEY IS TE S VALU, WILL TAKE A CISIVE PUBLIC STAND AGAST THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATN OCCURRG FLORIDA AND OFFER TANGIBLE SUPPORT FOR THE LGBTQIA+ MUNI AFFECTED BY BIGOTED LEGISLATN SWEEPG THE UNTRY. STAND AGAST THIS BILL FLORIDA AND AGAST THE SIAR BILLS SOUTH CAROLA, ARIZONA, VIRGIA, AND TENNSEE. STAND AGAST THE TRANSPHOBIC LEGISLATN TEXAS, IOWA, UTAH, KANSAS, INDIANA, LOUISIANA, MISSOURI, AND ALABAMA. MANY HATEFUL GROUPS ARE ATTEMPTG TO ERADITE THROUGH LEGISLATN – WE NEED YOU TO STAND WH ENTIRELY, NOT EMPTY WORDS.THIS MATTER IS NOT SOMETHG THAT N WA UNTIL REIMAGE TOMORROW APRIL, OR PRI MONTH JUNE. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRSED NOW. THIS IS URGENT. 42% OF LGBTQIA+ YOUTH SERLY NSIRED SUICI 2021, CLUDG MORE THAN HALF OF TRANSGENR AND NONBARY YOUTH, WH A LARGE FACTOR BEG THE LACK OF SUPPORT THAT THE DISCRIMATORY LEGISLATNS ENABLE. DISNEY CLAIMS TO RE FOR THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN, BUT SUPPORTG POLICIANS LIKE THIS DIRECTLY HURTS ONE OF THEIR MOST VULNERABLE DIENC. THERE ARE LIV AT STAKE AND DISNEY’S SUPPORT ULD SAVE THOSE LIV. “WE STILL HAVE MORE WORK TO DO,” YOUR EMAIL SAID.

WELL, I WAS DOG A BUNCH OF PREP FOR MY UPG STAY AT WALT DISNEY WORLD FEBARY 2018, AND I THOUGHT I SHOULD GET CRACKG ON SOME ARTICL! SCE I HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE PLANNG AND MAKG DISNEY TRIPS, I THOUGHT I’D OFFER YOU MY THOUGHTS.FIRST, THE SPIR OF FULL TRANSPARENCY, I WILL TELL YOU THAT, WHEN I VIS WALT DISNEY WORLD, I ALWAYS STAY AT A WALT DISNEY WORLD RORT HOTEL. WHEN I VIS DISNEYLAND, HOWEVER, I UALLY DON’T. SO I N SAY THAT THERE ARE FELY PROS AND NS. PART OF THE REASON FOR THIS IS ACTUALLY THAT, WHEN I VIS WDW, I’M UALLY STAYG FOR AN EXTEND TIME, BUT MY DL VISS TEND TO BE PART OF SOME LARGER OVERALL TRIP TO CALIFORNIA. MORE ON THAT LATER.SO WHY SHOULD YOU NSIR STAYG AT A DISNEY RORT WHILE VISG THE PARKS? IN MY OPN, THERE ARE THREE MA REASONS: LOTN, PERKS, AND MAGIC.WHEN YOU STAY AT A WDW RORT, YOU’RE JT MUT OM THE PARKS. IN THE SE OF SOME, SUCH AS THE CONTEMPORARY, YOU’RE WH WALKG DISTANCE. IF YOU STAY OFF-SE, YOU HAVE TO ARRANGE TO ARRIVE SI THE PLEX, TAKE THE LONG TRANSPORTATN TIME TO ACUNT, AL WH SHUTTLE SCHL & PARKG, ETC. STAYG ON SE LEADS TO A MORE LEISURELY PACE OF ARRIVAL, SCE YOU’RE PRETTY MUCH ALREADY THERE.THERE ARE TONS OF PERKS STAYG AT THE RORTS, STARTG OFF WH THE DISNEY TRANSPORTATN SYSTEM. RORTS ARE SERVICED BY A VARIETY OF TRANSPORTATN OPTNS, CLUDG B, BOATS, MONORAILS, THE NEW “MNIE VAN” SERVIC, AND THE FORTHG “SKYLER” GONDOLAS. THE HELP YOU GET OM YOUR RORTS TO THE PARKS, AND THEY’RE PLETELY EE TO E. THERE’S ALSO THE DISNEY’S MAGIL EXPRS, WHICH GETS YOU OM THE AIRPORT TO YOUR RORT AT THE BEGNG OF THE TRIP AND THEN BACK AT THE END. IF YOU’RE ON SPECIFIC PARTNERED AIRL, EVEN LETS YOU CHECK YOUR LUGGAGE RIGHT AT THE HOTEL.ANOTHER GREAT PERK OF STAYG ON SE IS THE ABILY TO RERVE KEY ELEMENTS, LIKE DG PLANS AND FASTPASS, ADVANCE OF WHEN EVERYONE ELSE N. THIS ALONE MIGHT BE THE BT REASON TO STAY ONSE, AS THOSE STAYG OFFSE HAVE TO TAKE WHAT THEY N GET AFTER RORT GUTS HAVE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH WIPED OUT THE MOST POPULAR OPTNS. IF YOU WANT TO GET ON THE NEW HOTNS, SUCH AS FROZEN EVER AFTER OR FLIGHT OF PASSAGE, BE PREPARED TO TAKE FASTPASS AT ODD, AWKWARD TIM OR ELSE TO STAND LE.ONE MORE AWOME PERK IS EXTRA MAGIC HOURS. EVERY DAY, ONE PARK EHER OPENS AN HOUR EARLY OR STAYS OPEN UP TO THREE HOURS LATER. THIS N BE A GREAT WAY TO GET TO THE PARKS WH LIMED FOLKS THERE. REALLY WORKS WELL FOR PURPOS OF SNEAKG A BUNCH OF RIS BEFORE THGS CROWD UP.PAST THE PERKS, THERE’S ALSO THE PERK OF DISNEY MAGIC. FROM ROOM THEMG TO BETIFUL LANDSPG TO CREDIBLY POOLS, EVERY RORT HAS S OWN CHARACTER AND CHARM. IT REALLY DO FEEL LIKE BEG PART OF THE MAGIC OF THE EXPERIENCE OM THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE. LTLE TOUCH OFTEN FD THEIR WAY TO YOUR STAY. WHETHER ’S WAKE-UP LLS OM MICKEY OR STCH, TOWELS ARRANGED THE SHAP OF ANIMALS, OR FDG YOUR KIDS’ STUFFED TOYS ARRANGED A TEA PARTY, THERE ARE JT GREAT LTLE THGS THAT HAPPEN THAT THERE’S NO WAY TO PREDICT.NOW, WH THE MD, WHAT REASONS ULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE FOR NOT STAYG ON SE? IN MY OPN, MOSTLY BOILS DOWN TO COST. THERE’S NO WAY AROUND – DISNEY RORTS ARE PRETTY EXPENSIVE. I’VE BEEN LUCKY, THAT MY BROTHER IS A DISNEY VATN CLUB MEMBER WHO HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF HIS POTS. MANY YEARS, WE PAY FOR HIS DU AND E HIS POTS WH HIS BLSG. THIS HAS ALLOWED ME TO STAY AT THE TREEHOE VILLAS, THE ANIMAL KGDOM LODGE, THE GRAND CALIFORNIAN, AND, ON AN UPG TRIP, BAY LAKE TOWER AND THE POLYNIAN RORT. PRR TO THAT, MY TRIPS WERE GENERALLY SPENT AT THE ALL-STAR RORTS AND POP CENTURY. THEY’RE STILL DISNEY RORTS AND STILL NICE, BUT THEY’RE NOT AS NICE AS OTHERS I’VE STAYED AT SCE.ONE OF THE REASONS I GENERALLY DON’T GET A DISNEY HOTEL WHEN I VIS DISNEYLAND IS ST. THERE ARE MANY GREAT, EXPENSIVE PARTNER HOTELS WH SHUTTL TO DISNEYLAND AROUND THE AREA. GIVEN HOW MANY VATN CLUB POTS THE DISNEYLAND HOTELS ST, I’D RATHER SAVE THOSE POTS FOR BIG WDW VISS.THAT BEG SAID, THERE’S NOTHG WRONG WH THE ALL-STAR RORTS, POP CENTURY, AND ART OF ANIMATN. THEY HAVE ALL THE PERKS OF THE OTHER RORTS, AND I’VE NOTICED THE STAFF THERE GO OUT OF THE WAY TO BE NICE AND ACMODATG. THE ONLY NEGATIV MIGHT BE THAT THEY ARE MORE MOTEL-LIKE THAN A LOT OF THE OTHER RORTS, AND THEY’RE OFTEN ED BY LARGE FAI WH KIDS. FOR ME, THAT’S NO BIG AL; I PRETTY MUCH E A ROOM TO SLEEP, SHOWER, AND LEAVE MY STUFF. I WON’T LIE – HAVG A THREE-BEDROOM SUE WH VIEWS OVER THE SAVANNAH WAS AMAZG. BUT FOR A BASIC TRIP IF I ULDN’T E THE VATN CLUB POTS? I’D BE PERFECTLY HAPPY AT THE LS EXPENSIVE VALUE RORTS.I HOPE THIS ARTICLE HAS GIVEN YOU SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT. FEEL EE TO H ME WH ANY QUTNS ABOUT THE RORTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. UNTIL NEXT TIME…SEE YOU REAL SOON. WHY? BEE WE LIKE YOU.#DISNEY#DISNEYLAND#WALTDISNEYWORLD#WALT DISNEY WORLD#GAY DISNEY#DISNEYLOVE#DISNEYLIFE#DISNEY HOTELS#DISNEY RORT#DISNEY REARCHGAY4DISNEY FOLLOWDISNEY’S FIRST GAY CHARACTER?I REMEMBER VISG DISNEY WH MY 14-YEAR OLD NEPHEW. AT ONE POT, WHILE LOUNGG THE POOL WH HIM, MY HOEMATE JAY, AND MY HBAND STEVE, WE REALIZED THAT THE FOLLOWG DAY WAS NATNAL COMG OUT DAY. I LAMENTED THE CHANCE TO HAVE MA A SHIRT, AND WE DISCSED POSSIBLE OPTNS:SIMBA HUGGG TIMON & PUMBAA AND WISHG “HAPPY COMG OUT DAY TO MY TWO DADS”…HAPPY OFFERG FLOWERS TO BASHFUL.THUMPER SAYG “NO DUH!” SARSTILLY TO FLOWER.THIS EVOLVED TO A FURTHER DISCSN ON WHICH DISNEY CHARACTERS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GAY. MY FAVORE QUOTE WAS WHEN MY NEPHEW SAID, “WELL, STATISTILLY, WOULDN’T SOME OF THE 101 DALMATIANS HAVE TO BE?”NOW, SOME YEARS LATER, DISNEY ACTUALLY HAS A GAY CHARACTER…TWO OF THEM FACT. AND I THOUGHT I’D HIP YOU TO , SE YOU DIDN’T NOTICE.NOW WHEN I SAY A GAY CHARACTER, I’M NOT TALKG ABOUT SPECULATN AND SUBTEXT. LIKE, FLOWER IS PRETTY MUCH FLIRTG WH BAMBI THE FIRST SCENE WHEN WE MEET HIM, AND THE WAY OWL SAYS THAT BEG TWTERPATED ULD EVEN HAPPEN TO HIM SUGGTS THAT OWL KNOWS SOMETHG’S UP WH OUR SKUNK IEND WH THE LONG EYELASH.THERE’S A PRETTY STRONG MOVEMENT TO GIVE QUEEN ELSA OF ARENLLE A GIRLIEND IF THEY EVER MOVE A ROMANTIC DIRECTN WH HER.  AND THE DIRECTORS OF MOANA HAVE SAID THAT THEY ULD EASILY SEE HER AS BEG GAY. TIMON & PUMBAA…THAT LONG, LOVG LOOK TO EACH OTHERS’ EY LN KG 1 ½, FOLLOWED BY A DISSOLVE…YEAH…BUT NO. NOT EVEN TALKG ABOUT THAT. NOR AM I TALKG ABOUT OAKEN AND HIS FAY THE SNA…THOUGH I LOVE THE IA OF OAKEN AS THIS BIG, SWEET BEAR.I’M NOT EVEN TALKG ABOUT LEFOU. FIRST OFF, THIS IS A PLETE RETNNG OF THE CHARACTER. THERE WAS NOTHG THE ORIGAL BETY & THE BEAST TO SUGGT LEFOU WAS ANYTHG BUT A TOADY TO GASTON, AND THE FIRST GAY CHARACTER A DISNEY MOVIE ME BEFORE THE REMAKE ME OUT ANYWAY.HEH. CAME OUT.NO, THE FIRST SCERELY, OFFICIALLY GAY CHARACTER A DISNEY FILM…OR RATHER THE FIRST TWO…ARE A PAIR OF UNGULAT ZOOTOPIA.YUP. JUDY’S NEIGHBORS.AND NO, THIS IS NOT A THEORY.THE CHARACTERS ARE LISTED THE VOICE ST AS BUCKY AND PRONK ORYX-ANTLERSON. THEY ARE CLEARLY TWO DIFFERENT VARIETI OF ANTELOP, SO THEY’RE NOT BROTHERS, AS SOME HAVE OPED. BUT Y, SOME HAVE SUGGTED THAT, SPE THE FACT THAT HYPHENATED LAST NAM ARE UALLY THE SIGN OF A MARRIAGE, THAT THE TWO ULD BE PART OF A FAY…ADOPTED BROTHERS, PERHAPS?SO LET’S TURN TO THE REAL EXPERT…THE WRER AND -DIRECTOR, JARED BH, WHO ALSO VOICED PRONK. WHEN ASKED ON TWTER IF HE’D EVER MENTED ON THE NATURE OF THEIR RELATNSHIP, HE REPLIED, “THEY ARE A GAY MARRIED UPLE. BUT THEY DON'T YELL AT EACH OTHER BEE THEY'RE GAY, THEY YELL BEE THEY'RE REAL. ;)”I’M PRETTY SURE THE WRER AND -DIRECTOR IS AS CLOSE TO AN EXPERT AS WE’RE GOG TO GET, SO THERE YOU GO. BUT WHAT I LIKE BT ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE CHARACTERS BEG GAY ISN’T A PLOT POT, OR ANYTHG IMPORTANT TO THE STORY. IT’S JT SOMETHG THAT HAPPENS TO BE. DO I WANT AN OPENLY GAY MA CHARACTER OM DISNEY? SURE I DO. BUT I N WA. I WAED THIS LONG TO GET BUCKY & PRONK. I N WA UNTIL WE GET MORE.SMALL STEPS.#DISNEY#DISNERD#DISNEYLOVE#DISNEYLIFE#GAY#GAY DISNEY#ZOOTOPIA#JARED BH#BUCKY AND PRONKGAY4DISNEY FOLLOWMY DISNEY EXPERIENCE
