A Disney executive in charge of content vowed to up the ante on gender politics during an all-hands meeting, promising that at least half of the characters in its productions will be LGBTIA or minority by the end of the year.
General entertainment president Karey Burke choked up during the company-wide Zoom call Monday, saying the issue hit close to home because of her children.
'I'm here as the mother of two queer children, actually, one transgender child and one pansexual child, and also as a leader,' she said.
During the same all-hands meeting, television animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau gushed about Disney's inclusivity.
'Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-so-secret gay agenda,' she said. 'Where ever I could I was adding queerness to. No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.'
Videos from the meeting were leaked to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute's City Journal, who first reported them on Twitter.
