Walt Disney shareholders rejected a MAGA - fueled effort to sever " The Mouse ’s " ties to an organization that promotes LGBTQ workplace par .
To be fair , Disney is n’t the only troupe that ’s been rolling back its diversity and cellular inclusion practice since POtuSElon Musk , Vice - POtuSDonald Trump , and Vice - Vice - POtuSJD Vancemoved into The White House – there have been more than a fairish part of kinsfolk more than willing trade in their spikelet to be capable to make nice - nice with the Mar - a - Lago tribe . So we ca n’t tell if this is in reality good news or if the taproom has been set so low that even doing something that should be a no - brainer becomes something worthy of parade . However you need to categorize it , The Walt Disney Company stockholder sent a very decipherable message to Trump and his " MAGA - teers " via the alleged " think tank " National Center for Public Policy Research by brutally rejecting the NCPPR ’s Free Enterprise Project .
Here ’s what fail down . The NCPPR ( PGANBCKGBWKRP in Cincinnati ) submitted a marriage proposal to be voted on during Disney ’s shareholder ' meeting on Thursday . It was about " The Mouse ’s " involvement in the Human Rights Campaign ’s ( HRC ) yearly Corporate Equality Index ( CEI ) – wanna guess if the NCPPR was in favor of it ? Of course , they were n’t ! To them , receiving a perfect score when it comes to " embodied policies and practice related to LGBTQIA+ workplace equality " is a bad matter . Why ? As they noted in their proposition , the only way for Disney to attain such a score would be by " abide by its partizan , factious , and increasingly radical criteria . " In other intelligence , the NCPPR would like Disney to function in some alt - reality where white people did n’t pass generations persecute and killing anyone who did n’t look or move like they did .
Again , you would intend refuse such a measure would be a no - brainer – and it should be a no - brainer . But when you have third - rate wannabe dictators reek of The Oval Office and threatening to sick the Union government on anyone it does n’t like , there ’s no such thing as " no - brainers " and " given " any longer . So maybe we will take a second to congratulate Disney ’s shareholders for entirely , altogether , and utterly freeze off the NCPPR steaming wad of hate . We ’re utter only 1 % of the shares that voted voting in favour of the marriage offer . To put that into perspective ? That ’s only 1 % more than what I got – and I did n’t have a proposal – and I ’m not even a Disney shareholder . Of course , this was just one battle in a war that Trump has declared on diversity and inclusion – but sometimes , we involve to pause to accept the " little wins " whenever theydo bump .
