I hope this means that they have canceled the Snow White movie.

Religion or LGBT is a false dichotomy and shit like this just fuels division.
Fuck you Disney
This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007's Bridge to Terabithia.
So it's not really the first then, is it?
An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney's attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.
This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren't they leaving money on the table like this? "Well, because of Trump." Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??
This article isn't very well written. Many such cases, sadly.
Is Disney publicly traded? Because you're not taking into account stock trading in the insane-o market where speculation on possible public opinion can devalue a product by 100% for 2 days. They could be losing possible trade money if that 34% disapproval caused stockholders to short before other people sold and the prices go into freefall.
It all makes sense.
Is Trump going to compensate them for it??
I mean, considering his pettiness, probably. Either with carrot or stick, he wants to be heard and wants people to bend over backwards to gain his approval. In exchange, he might do a tax cut or two for those who manage to please him, while he'll try to crush those who oppose him.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Trump administration threatened Disney into ditching it.
Let's be real no threat is needed. If this made them win craploads of money they would be plastering Disney world with transexual parades every second of the day
The fact that they are not doing it says a lot
