According to the footage, one executive producer said that she was easily able to implement her \u201cnot-at-all secret gay agenda\u201d in one show, while another Disney manager discussed the company\u2019s move to drop \u201cgendered greetings\u201d from theme park experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Latoya Raveneau \u2014 an executive producer for Disney who has worked on shows such as \u201cThe Proud Family\u201d \u2014 explained how she was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming attitude and open-mindedness that the company has toward the LGBTQ agenda, particularly as it relates to \u201cadding queerness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur leadership over there has been so welcoming to like, my like, not-at-all secret gay agenda,\u201d Raveneau said in reference to the team that worked on \u201cThe Proud Family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In response to the chaos at Disney, many conservative employees penned and endorsed an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/they-call-their-fellow-employees-bigots-conservatives-at-disney-issue-open-statement-detailing-hostile-work-environment\"><span>open letter<\/span><\/a><span> expressing concern over the iconic company\u2019s politicization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOver the last few years, one group of cast members has become invisible within the company. The Walt Disney Company has come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive,\u201d they said. \u201cWe watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cDisney shouldn\u2019t be a vehicle for one demographic\u2019s political activism. It\u2019s so much bigger and more important than that,\u201d they continued. \u201cMore than ever, the world needs things that we can unite around. That\u2019s the most valuable role The Walt Disney Company could play in the world at this time. It\u2019s a role we\u2019ve played for nearly a century, and it would be a shame to throw all of that away in the face of left-wing political pressure. Please don\u2019t let Disney become just another thing we divide over.\u201d<\/span><\/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.
