In February, The Walt Disney Company celebrated its 16th consecutive year on the Human Rights Campaign’s “best places to work” for LGBT+ people. The company proudly references its diverse programming, support for transitioning workers and corporate training on LGBT+ inclusion. The company’s parks host annual Pride events and unofficial “Gay Days” drawing thousands of people annually.
Disney entities also have donated tens of thousands of dollars to Florida legislators who supported what opponents have called a “Don’t Say Gay” bill that could chill classroom speech and marginalise LGBT+ students and their families and teachers.
