Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to
deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual
propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.
On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in
Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through
third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees
from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5-
to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret
gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in
leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.
“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my,
like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya
Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just,
wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no
one was trying to stop me.”
“Something must have happened in the last — they are
turning it around, they’re going hard,” Raveneau noted. On Monday, Disney vowed to
keep fighting Florida’s new law, after speaking out against the bill before
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it (though Disney’s activism was not enough to satisfy
a handful of employees enraged that the Mouse didn’t do more).
Another Disney employee, production coordinator Allen
March, was caught in a video call advertising a “tracker” he uses to meet
self-imposed quotas for LGBT characters in Disney’s “Moon Girl” TV series.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with the ‘Moon Girl’
team for the last two years and they’ve been really open to exploring queer
stories,” March said. “I put together like a tracker of our background
characters to make sure that we have the full breadth of expression [with] all
of our gender non-conforming characters.”
But having a quota was insufficient in pushing his
agenda. “It’s not just a numbers game of how many LGBTQ+ characters you have,”
he continued. “The more centered a story is on a character, the more nuanced
you get to get into their story, and especially with like trans characters …
kind of the only way to have like these canonical trans characters, canonical
asexual characters, canonical bisexual characters, is to give them stories
where they can like be their whole selves.”
President of Disney General Entertainment Karey Burke
spoke just as openly about her plan to force her own sexual agenda on the eyes
and ears of young children.
“We had an open forum last week at 20th [presumably
Disney-owned 20th Century Studios], where again, the home of really incredible
groundbreaking LGBTQIA stories over the years,” she said. “One of our execs
stood up and said, ‘You know, we only have a handful of queer leads in our
content.’ And I went, ‘What! That can’t be true,’ and I realized oh, it
actually is true, we have many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories,
and yet we don’t have enough leads.”
In another apparent reference to Florida’s law protecting
5-year-olds from sexual grooming in schools, Burke added, “Perhaps had this
moment not happened, I as a leader and we as my colleagues would not have
focused on” inserting more LGBT characters into Disney stories.
“Going forward I certainly will be more so, I know that
we will be,” she said, before pausing to fight back tears. She also
reportedly signaled a
goal that at least 50 percent of Disney characters will be LGBT or racial
minorities by the year’s end.
In the same call, Burke proudly proclaimed herself the
mother of “two queer children actually, one transgender child and one pansexual
child.” The ages of her children, who she claims have chosen to be transgender
and pansexual, are unclear.
In another leaked Disney call, “activism partner” Nadine
Smith parrotted wild conspiracy theories about the Florida law. “We’re reacting
from the reality that, 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 said.
Never mind the fact that the bill dubbed
“don’t say gay” by detractors doesn’t even include the word “gay,” much less
criminalize its use or people who identify with it. Disney knows the bill
merely protects very young children from being bombarded with adults’ sexual
agendas, and that no one who isn’t seeking to groom children has a good reason
to be afraid of the law. So Disney and its allies in government, corporations,
and the propaganda press have resorted to straight-up lying about the bill’s
purpose and flaunting bizarre theories like that Ron DeSantis wants to kidnap
children.
Meanwhile, DeSantis slammed Disney’s weird obsession with
teaching kids under 10 about sex and the company’s simultaneous double standard
as applied to communist China, where effeminate men are banned from
television.
“Why is the hill to die on to have transgenderism
injected into kindergarten classrooms or woke gender ideology injected into
second-grade classrooms?” the governor said on
Tuesday. “Meanwhile, if we had done a bill that prohibited talking about the
abuse of Uyghurs in China, Disney would have supported that legislation because
they won’t say a word about that.”

DISNEY
IS INTERESTED IN YOUR CHILDREN
By Christopher F. Rufo
Last year, I reported
on Disney’s critical race theory–based diversity program, which taught
employees that American was founded on “systemic racism,” separated minorities
into racially segregated “affinity groups,” and encouraged white employees to
complete a “white privilege checklist.” Now, I have obtained exclusive video
from inside Disney that outlines its campaign to embed left-wing sexual
politics into its children’s programming and entertainment facilities.
In the wake of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education
legislation, which prevents public schools from promoting gender ideology in
kindergarten through third grade but which critics call the “Don’t Say Gay”
bill, Disney executives organized an all-hands meeting, called the “Reimagine
Tomorrow Conversation Series,” and pledged to mobilize the entire corporation
in service of the “LGBTQIA+ community.” Executives recruited the company’s most
intersectional employees, including a “black, queer, and trans person,” a
“bi-romantic asexual,” and “the mother [of] one transgender child and one
pansexual child,” and announced ambitious new initiatives—seeking to change
everything from gender pronouns at the company’s theme parks to the sexual
orientation of background characters in the company’s films.
In a featured presentation at the meeting, executive
producer Latoya Raveneau laid out Disney’s ideology in blunt terms. She said
her team was implementing
a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and regularly “adding queerness” to children’s
programming. Another speaker, production coordinator Allen Martsch, said his
team has created
a “tracker” to ensure that they are creating enough “canonical trans
characters, canonical asexual characters, [and] canonical bisexual characters.”
Corporate president Karey Burke said she supported
having “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories” and reaffirmed the
company’s pledge to make at least 50 percent of its on-screen characters sexual
and racial minorities. Disney did not return request for comment.
The ideological campaign also extended to the company’s
theme parks in Anaheim and Orlando. As diversity and inclusion manager Vivian
Ware explained,
Disney made the decision last year to eliminate all mentions of “ladies,”
“gentlemen,” “boys,” and “girls” in order to create “that magical moment” for
children who do not identify with traditional gender roles. “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,’” Ware said. By
eliminating “gendered greetings,” Disney believes, the company can help make it
“magical and memorable for everyone.”
Finally, Disney hosted Nadine Smith, the executive
director of a pressure group called Equality Florida, who told
employees that Governor Ron DeSantis and his press secretary, Christina Pushaw,
wanted to “erase you,” “criminalize your existence,” and “take your kids”—a
wild conspiracy theory with no basis in fact. The company’s executives threw
their full weight behind Equality Florida’seffort, promising to use its
significant political and financial resources to repeal the Parental Rights in
Education law and the Stop W.O.K.E. Act, which prohibits public and private
institutions from racialist discrimination and abuse in classrooms and the
workplace.
Last year, after my report on Disney’s critical race
theory training program, Disney quickly deleted
it from the company’s internal servers. But executives did not abandon identity
politics. In fact, they added another component—gender ideology—and ramped it
up. Executives have empowered activists within the company and now seem unable
to resist their demands. Observers should watch Disney closely in the coming
years. However the story ends, the company looks like a case study in
ideological capture.
