Disney Drag Queens & Animated Gay Romance “Not Gay Enough … – Bleeding Fool

Whether they were fighting Florida’s governor for passing an anti-grooming Parental Rights in Education law, celebrating drag queens and transgender characters in children’s programming, making gay relationships the focus of their animated features, and kicking off an LGBTQ-themed apparel line for kids, 2022 has been a banner year for Disney’s “not so secret gay agenda“.

But according to reporting over at Breitbart, that’s still not gay enough for GLAAD.

GLAAD gave Disney an “insufficient” mark in its annual LGBTQ inclusivity report card, saying the company’s efforts have been lacking despite progress made in recent years. The group slammed Disney for donating $25,000 to “anti-LGBTQ” politicians — without noting that Disney has historically donated to politicians across the political spectrum.

Today GLAAD released its 10th Studio Responsibility Index. This year counted a trans character in a major studio film for first time in five years, but also noted decreases in racial diversity of LGBTQ characters & LGBTQ character’s screen time. Read now: https://t.co/rcZ1xPMt6X

Disney wasn’t alone in GLAAD’s annual act of Hollywood chastisement. All of the studios reviewed this year received bad marks, with the worst grades handed out to Paramount and Lionsgate. Both studios received “failing” marks for not featuring a single identifiably LGBTQ character in any of the films they released in 2021.

Warner Bros. received the second-lowest grade of “poor,” with GLAAD noting that the studio continues to work with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, whom the group inaccurately described as an “anti-trans activist.”

On the other hand, they heaped great praise on Disney’s box office disaster Strange World for including a gay teen boy romance.

“Having a gay teen protagonist in a family film is a huge step in the right direction for the genre, and an example we’d like to see more studios follow.” Disney had no comment on the rating.

Breitbart News also reported that GLAAD threatened the Great American Family channel with an advertiser boycott after Candace Cameron Bure said the channel would focus on “traditional marriage” instead of gay couples in its seasonal Christmas programming. How do you feel about this kind of social activism?
