According to the insider, Chapek said that he appreciates the feedback he\u2019s received from LGBTQIA+ employees and admitted that he made mistakes in addressing the \u201cParents Rights in Education\u201d bill, but that \u201cthe pain this community experienced was not just about this one piece of legislation but about not being there anytime this community has been hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapek then said that Disney leadership will be going on a \u201clistening tour\u201d of gay, transgender, and non-binary employees.<\/p>\n<p>After his comments, a panel of LGBT activists gave a talk one Disney staffer said was \u201cabout wanting Disney to indoctrinate kids.\u201d This was followed by an address from Nadine Smith of the non-profit group, Equality Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Following the panel, Disney\u2019s Chief Human Resources Officer Paul Richardson announced that the company is planning to \u201ctake action\u201d against Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott\u2019s order to the state\u2019s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate those performing some sex-change surgeries or treatments on children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of our presence in Texas,\u201d Richardson reportedly said, \u201cwe want you to know that we\u2019ve signed on to the Human Rights Campaign\u2019s letter opposing the Texas bill that criminalizes parents who provide for their transgender children gender affirming care.\u201d The source also said that Richardson promised the company would \u201ctake action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey want Disney to make an end-run around parents,\u201d one employee said of the presentations during the meeting, adding, \u201cThese activist employees and outside organizations recognize Disney\u2019s cultural significance. They want to use the company to make an end-run around parents through content creation and political pressure. They see it as their mission to rescue the next generation from their conservative parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/woke-businesses-trans-surgeries-for-kids-arent-child-abuse\">reported<\/a>, a group of companies has already come out in favor of trans surgeries and hormone treatments on children, including Apple, Macy\u2019s, Ikea, and Google. An ad signed by more than 60 businesses insists that \u201cdiscrimination is bad for business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ad goes on to say, \u201cThe recent attempt to criminalize a parent for helping their transgender child access medically necessary, age-appropriate healthcare in the state of Texas goes against the values of our companies. It\u2019s not just wrong, it has an impact on our employees, our customers, their families and our work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unlike those companies, however, Disney\u2019s key customer bases include parents, who may take issue with the company\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n<p>The Disney employee present at the meeting told us he walked away with one conclusion: \u201cThis is a complete institutional takeover. Disney is lost.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
