Abigail Disney: Whether or Not ‘Gay’ Is Spoken, There Would Always Be Gay People

EXCERPT:

DISNEY: “And so, they're trying to inject something into what Disney does that has nothing to do with what Disney does, whether or not there are gay characters. And I keep wondering — what is their theory of change exactly? Because if you were to erase every reference to gayness and gay people from the planet, which is sort of what the 'Don't Say Gay' bill feels like, will children not become gay? Do they need to be recruited and groomed, or are people just gay? And I think that that's a hard question they need to ask themselves, because if you go back through history, there have been gay people whether or not the word was ever spoken. So this is kind of a — it's an ineffective way of going about what they want. It's an attempt to push history backwards and it denies the fact that everyone conservative or not has a gay friend or a transgender family member. We're all in it together now and I think it's all of our fight."
