I work at Walt Disney World and can confirm all of this. If you click on my Substack, I've written a lot about what is going on. But I have SO MUCH MORE to say. I tread carefully, for fear of losing my job. Like the writer, I still hold memories of Disney's bygone days and hope it changes. And also...I need a job. I work in visual merchandising and there is literally no place to go, as the retail world is captured by gender ideology. (Although Disney does feel like the epicenter.) At times I get so disgusted by it all, I feel like just walking out and getting a job at Twistee Treat or someplace. I thank the writer for writing this and beg more people to do the same. Things won't change until Disney hears from people. Don't just boycott; write to Disney and tell them why you are boycotting and show them the receipts of how much $$$$ you spent elsewhere instead.
Thanks for openly commenting. I think that this is a safe space. However, I would be a little cautious. Now and again, the screening slips up.
So, my question is: How many of your fellow Disney employees are ACTIVE in the trans/gay world? How many "go along to get along" and keep the job? What's the work environment like?
Thanks, I hear you--I’ll try to be careful. I’m already notorious for writing this (attached), which was picked up by news channels, so Disney is aware of me and my position. I’m not sure if they’re watching to see if I slip up or just hoping that I will go away at some point. The best way to answer you is for you to read that (very long, sorry) post. But over a year has passed, so I’ll expand a little:
WDW has something like 70,000 employees so I can only tell you what’s going on in my little area. I can’t answer your question as asked about the trans/gay world because I am gay and I am not part of this world, and do not believe that such a thing (a combined LGB & T community) exists. It seems that the young people who work at Disney are completely captured by the ‘LGBTQIA+ community’ farce, and sadly, so are the many older gay men who work there. People are just ignorant. They believe what their curated news tells them, and all the lies from HRC, GLAAD, PFLAG, etc. The corporate DEI department is relentless with their propaganda. The local DEI volunteers seem to be mostly young women (all with pronouns in their bios, naturally) who think they are doing such good work, by repeating all these lies. It causes me a great deal of stress. Basically, I would sum it up by saying that Disney is full of ‘queers’ and handmaidens. There are a lot of old-timers who have been at Disney for decades, and I think they are pissed off but keep their mouths shut so they can keep their job and collect their pension upon retirement. Going along to get along, as you say.
Hi Gary, I’d love to hear more of your perspective on Disney. I sent you a DM on Twitter (I’m a reporter for Michael Shellenberger’s Substack called Public). Take a look at your DMs when you can!
Read your piece. Very strong. So many are confused about the FL bill.
As you probably know, parents are at the heart of the issue. If parents think that "LGBTQ are coming to harm or queer my children", there will be a huge reaction against all alphabet categories. So voices like yours, who view sexuality as an adult matter (which it is), are very important.
Thanks. I know more and more in the LGB categories who do not go along with T. Q additionally is a new and IMHO bad actor. While LGB had until about 1990 a philosophy of "live and let live", the Q watchword is "your bourgeois ways are in the trash". They want to queer everything up, and believe that children need queering as well. This is the group that supports the Drag Queen Story Hour, which is aimed at queering and pervertifying children.

Good luck to you.
Yes, they want to, "leave a trail of glitter that won't ever come out of the carpet." And rifht now, they're succeeding.
