Disney Won't Say Gay

Disney is in a bit of a pickle. A controversial bill in Florida is set to be signed into law. Known as the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill, it forces teachers to stop including curriculum concerning children in the LGBTQ community — endangering their mental states and possibly their lives. Current CEO Bob Chapek took way too long to put out a statement and, when he did, it was cookie cutter at best. Can Disney be too apolitical in this moment? What’s there to lose if they do or don’t say anything? Find out only on News Time!

Lyrics to “We Should Talk About Disney (Medley)”

We don’t talk about Disney, -ey, -ey, -ey

We don’t talk about Disney, but

It was a Friday (it was a Friday)

We were watching “Turning Red”

And there wasn’t a tear in my eye (no tears allowed in my eye)

Chapek sends a memo with no end goal (surface level)

You telling this story or am I? (I’m sorry, me, go on)

Chapek says, “We love the gays” (why did he say it like that?)

In doing so, he makes us insane (seriously, there’s better ways)

Does the company really support the gays (LGBTQ, but anyway)

We don’t talk about Disney, -ey, -ey, -ey

We don’t talk about Disney

Disney’s gay, Disney’s gay

I'm pretty sure based on its characters

Disney’s gay, Disney’s gay

You don’t have to do much digging

Queer they stand, and queer Disney is

They can’t deny it for long…

And the cartoons created by Disney? It tells me

That everyone knows, how gay Disney is

If they just denounce this bill, then confide in me

One day they’ll know

How gay Disney is

The biggest media company (it was a Friday)

A mouse as its mascot (it was a Friday) (We were watching “Turning Red”)

You don’t have to do much digging, they can’t deny it for long (And there wasn’t a tear in my eye)

If they just denounce this bill, how gay Disney is (Chapek sends a memo with no end goal)

You telling this story or am I?

Oye, Mariano’s on his way

Chapek says, “We love the gays” (The biggest media company, a mouse as its mascot)

In doing so, he makes us insane (You don’t have to do much digging)

Does the company really support the gays (If they just denounce this bill, how gay Disney is)

Disney’s queer

Let’s talk about Disney

Why don’t we talk about Disney?

All the words about Disney

We should always bring up Disney

The Great Media Company Restructuring!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Companies restructure all the time. Disney, ViacomCBS, WarnerMedia. They've all done it. But the pandemic has reinforced the idea that streaming is the future and pay-TV and theatrical are on their way out. Now, those three companies -- along with many other entertainment entities -- are shifting focus to streaming while cutting tens of thousands of jobs in the process. Are employees short changed and left out in the dust? Is this direct-to-consumer branding optimal for viewers? Find out only on News Time!
