Disney CEO defends decision to not speak out against 'Don't Say Gay' bill
, which would bar educators from speaking with students about LGBTQ+ topics that are not considered "age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate" among other things."I want to be crystal clear: I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities," Chapek wrote in the memo to staff.
"And, we are committed to creating a more inclusive company—and world. I understand that the very need to reiterate that commitment means we still have more work to do." Corporate statements, however, "do very little to change outcomes or minds," he added. "Instead, they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame. Simply put, they can be counterproductive and undermine more effective ways to achieve change."
"I do not want anyone to mistake a lack of a statement for a lack of support," he said. "We all share the same goal of a more tolerant, respectful world. Where we may differ is in the tactics to get there." "And because this struggle is much bigger than any one bill in any one state, I believe the best way for our company to bring about lasting change is through the inspiring content we produce, the welcoming culture we create, and the diverse community organizations we support."
