maybe continuing to tell all of us "libs" that we're dragging down society, want to load up preschool tv with homosexual content (which no one has talked about except you brining it up multiple times), taking our toddlers to drag brunches, etc., isn't a fair assumption?
I don't know about "libs." But you do realize Disney executives were caught on camera talking about their "not-at-all-secret gay agenda" and adding "queerness to children's programming," with one of the company's presidents saying she wanted 50 percent of the characters in Disney productions to be LGBTQIA or racial minorities by the end of 2022?
Disney even ended gendered greetings at its parks, which had existed for decades, to be more "inclusive."
People aren't making this stuff up. This is the company's stated goal.
Just for those who haven't seen it...

This isn't the "gotcha" y'all think it is.
For the 400th time, for the cheap seats... these people, along with many, many others, including myself, don't see being gay as a "sin" or "bad" or worth freaking out over in any way, shape or form. And because we don't see it as a negative, we could not care less if it's depicted in the things our children watch, as long as it's not overly sexualized. Basically, if it's something a hetero couple can be seen doing in a Disney movie, we have absolutely no issue with a gay couple doing the same thing in a Disney movie.
And so far, to my knowledge, Disney hasn't crossed that line, nor does it appear they intend to.
From what I see and hear, Disney's only "agenda" is attempting to normalize something we agree *should* be normalized. As an act of empathy and inclusivity. Because we believe it's the kind thing to do.
This doesn't mean they're trying to turn your kids gay (which is preposterous).
This doesn't mean they're trying to get your kids to march in pride parades on floats with gay strippers.
They're simply doing what they can to try and create a more tolerable society.
Now, can Disney and others go overboard in this regard? Absolutely. Because of the staunch opposition that often goes equally overboard, it inevitably escalates into a pissing match, where advocation can quickly turn into an attempt at submission. And neither side is without fault in that regard.
Also, I have to clarify, once more, that this doesn't mean that I'm pro drag-shows-for kids, and I admit that that the trans kids issue is a delicate one, and that a contingent on the left is going overboard in that regard as well.
What I'm talking about is basic *depiction* here, when it comes to gay people in Disney movies.
