'It is one thing to say that you 'unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities.' It’s quite another for you to stand silent while this scurrilous piece of homophobic legislation passes,' the guild said in a statement Tuesday.
The Animation Guild’s Executive Board and QueerTAG Committee said the decision by Disney’s CEO to not release a statement opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill was a “momentous misstep.”
“It is disheartening that Disney, one of the world’s most successful brands with massive resources and a global platform, failed to take any action to help prevent the passage of this bill,” the group wrote in a social media statement late Tuesday. “It is one thing to say that you ‘unequivocally stand in support of our
+ employees, their families, and their communities.’ It’s quite another for you to stand silent while this scurrilous piece of homophobic legislation passes.”
