The twin theme parks at the center of the late Walt Disney’s fantastical imagination — Disneyland and Magic Kingdom — have found themselves twisted in a tale unfolding in the modern era.
In what could be described as a faith-fueled clap back, former worship leader-turned-activist Sean Feucht and a crowd of fellow conservatives and Christians — some of whom are former and even current Disney employees — are descending on The Walt Disney Company headquarters in Burbank, California, Wednesday evening [April 6] to protest the beloved brand’s perceived attack on parents through the targeting of their children.
Disney sparked parents’ ire when it issued a full-throated condemnation of a parental rights bill in Florida, home to the entertainment behemoth’s sprawling 25,000-acre Walt Disney World Resort — a space so vast it has its own zip code and so popular it’s home to what has been reported as the third busiest restaurant in the world.
“Parents across America were blindsided by the fact that Disney would enable people that are fighting for the sexualization of children, starting in kindergarten,” Feucht told CBN’s Faithwire. “We’re talking about 4-year-olds. It’s one thing to make content. It’s another thing to fight for those that want to groom and sexualize kids.”
Disney was already facing an uphill battle, with many middle-class families finding a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth financially out of reach. Add to the mix the company’s perceived attack on its core audience — families with young children — and the nearly-100-year-old American mainstay could find itself in a whole new world of trouble.
Alas, Disney CEO Bob Chapek chose to wade into the political fight….
Feucht, who lives in California, said he felt he had to do something to strike back against Disney’s empire.
“A lot of people are really fired up,” he said, noting it’s critical for believers to take a stand on this issue. “[I] think Christians sometimes — they get way too soft. They don’t realize that they’re powerful. We have a voice that can change things economically for Disney. We have a voice that can change things politically in this country. … We’re called to be salt and light in every part of society. So when issues like this happen, we don’t just back down; we have to stand up.”
The demonstration Wednesday comes amid sparring inside Disney from two warring factions: Those who feel the company ought to dig in even deeper in its opposition to the Florida bill and its embrace of LGBT identities and those who desire an apolitical brand focused on creating top-tier art and entertainment for families and children….
The above comes from an April 6 story on Faith Wire.
I hate the rainbow flag because of what it stands for. I automatically know that anyone wearing or displaying a rainbow flag is someone I will not like nor get along with.
Me 2, they are a sign of a dying and corrupt culture.
If you see something with a rainbow, it is best to ask the meaning unless it is obvious it is being misused. Before I retired, someone broke my coffee cup at work and replaced it with a new, nearly unbreakable, cup that said, “I wish you a rainbow.” I had no idea then that the rainbow was being misused, and I do not think she, a married woman, did either, so I used the cup without any bad intentions. Later I got rid of it. Some Christians still make cakes with Noah’s Arks on them with rainbows and do not have ill intentions. Sad to say, what a symbol means is not always easy to decern.
You might be happy to know that the rainbow flag doesn’t use the colors of the rainbows in the sky.
God’s rainbow has seven colors, a very good number in the Bible — the number of completeness — and Biblical numerology has nothing to do with occult numerology. Some people use less colors because they do not know the difference, or do not have enough frosting for all the colors and so forth. T
The cup the lady gave me was pretty, and I remember it only having about five colors, but I doubt the artist had any bad intentions — just a way of saying “I wish you happiness”. It was long before I knew about the rampant misuse in some areas.
The first time I ever saw a double rainbow in the sky was while was a passenger in a car and looking back over the Bay Bridge. The second time I saw a double rainbow was over the ocean in the San Francisco Bay by Fisherman’s Warf.
I was saved from a flood in my childhood by a cousin named Joseph, St. Joseph is the intercessor against death by drowning and by fire. God’s rainbow is a promise not to destroy the world again by a flood, The New Testament says it will be destroyed at the end by fire.
St. Joseph pray for us!
Actually, I think that was looking back over the Golden Gate Bridge instead of the Bay Bridge. So very long ago.
Imagine how you as a Catholic might feel if someone declared that since they know you’re Catholic, that means that they automatically know you are someone that they would not like or get along with, based solely on some criteria. Would you feel it fair? Would you feel that is what Jesus would do (you know, the person who went into the taxpayer’s house, etc.) despite what others would say? Hate is also a rather tragic word – but it is your right to feel as you do.
Dremel you are right we have the right to hate the destruction of society, to surrender of decency to a minority of perverts. Yes Christ did eat with tax collectors and prostitutes, but he asked them to repent and sin no more. There lies the problem, leftist like you do not consider sodomy and the mutilation of ones body as a sin so there is no need to repent. Leftist want affirmation of sin, they want to be able to commit sins that cry to heaven for justice and yet think that when they die they are going straight to heaven.
We’ve gone from “don’t ask, don’t tell” (remember that approach?) to GAY GAY GAY TRANS TRANS TRANS in your farce everywhere you go and in everything you watch and everything you read.
I’d like to go back to don’t ask, don’t tell. That was sensible.
It was likely sensible to you because you’re likely not LGBT+ and therefore feel you’re in keeping with your holy writ. But imagine if Catholicism were the LGBT+ of our time, as it was during previous times when being Catholic or Christian meant death or harrasment. I’m going to guess you though such things as barbaric, yet today you do the same, just instead of Catholics, it’s LGBT+ that you feel are deserving of you vainglorious contempt.
First of all Dremel Catholic IS Christian, in fact we are the first Christians.
What a shame, that Disney has such poor leadership in today’s era.
Teachers and big business are brainwashing kids into flirting with being trans and gay. Many thousands of children will be scarred for life because of the child abuse being done under cover of government approval.
My congrats to Sean Feucht for leading the cause to protect our children and to those who are involved in his crusade.
I believe that the LGBT disorders should be placed back on the medical books, under the psychiatric disorders of the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual” of the American Psychiatric Association. People with any kind of disorder need not feel “stigmatized.” Children need to be shielded and kept safe from the dangerous sexual behaviors of people with the LGBT disorders. Such disorders can never possibly be compared to God-ordained heterosexual normalcy. And I think that gay “marriage” and deviant gay sex acts should be illegal– without cruel or violent punishments, as in long ago times– just basically discouraged and unwanted in society.
Be careful – you might get what you wish for, to include having various others actions or thought patterns which could be added, not the least of which might be those persons who would proclaim loudly that something is true despite evidence to the contrary. Just a thought…
Dremel why do leftist protect perverts? does your side even believe in moral order. If bestiality is new frontier to conquer will you defend that too?
We will live to see people marrying dogs and cats and trees and fish. We will live to see people claiming to be cats or dogs trapped in human bodies. We will live to see the LGBTQIA+ crowd celebrate transspeciesism and interspecies marriage.
We will live to see Democrats make such a new frontier of civil rights.
And we will live to see Republicans muster no effective opposition to any of it.
I know lots of older ladies who would marry their cats if they could. But I don’t think they are attracted to their cats in that way. LGBT people don’t want to marry their cats – except maybe a few older cat ladies.
Get to know people before you say such things about them and make ridiculous predictions that have nothing to do with reality.
It was only two years ago that people thought saying men could menstruate was ridiculous and utterly divorced from reality. Now if you say that only men can menstruate you are banned from Twitter and Facebook and could be threatened with civil action for discrimination.
The ridiculous very quickly becomes the party line among Democrats and the LGBT crowd. Just watch.
Marrying animals has already happened. So has someone marrying themselves. Not a legal marriage, of course. Father is suing courts for right to marry his daughter.
We are there.
Of course there is no way anyone can know every gay person or every straight person so that is disingenuous.
The point is once you have left the bounds of thinking of marriage as one man and one woman, permanent and exclusive, anything goes.
And I agree with Dan Savage that straight people changed the definition of marriage before gay people did.
The first thing people wanted to get rid of was the permanence. Some refuse exclusivity; some demand it. And the law has enabled legal marriage to be same sex. Now the polyamorous are suing for their rights.
And the incestuous.
Rather than society, church or God defining marriage, people want autonomy to decide for themselves..
Y’all need to do some homework about civil marriage vs sacramental marriage.
Catholics are not permitted to contract a civil marriage-it is a mortal sin.
Michael Joseph Dremel– We have a big responsibility to protect society, especially young children! You will find out, sooner or later, that no solution is going to be “perfect.” Stand up as a man, do the job– and never regret what you must do, you will always make some people mad. Too bad. It has to be done, to protect the innocent. Sacrifices have to be made. It’s like this– do not fret like a baby, if your mother gets attacked at the mall, and you swing a big karate chop at the criminal, and kill him. Too bad. That’s Biblical, too!
Psychology professionals won’t create a disorder where there is none. And I don’t think any self respecting politician wants to make private consensual acts subject to unconstitutional regulation by the state. The days of the nanny state are over.
And the days of the leftist tyrannical dictatorship have arrived.
The days of the nanny state are over?
It is worse than ever.
YFC there are two ways to deal with the Truth conform your life to it, or spend a lifetime of rationalizing against it.
Are you serious? The LGBT disorders are definitely not normal.
If LGBT is definitely not normal then why isn’t it in the textbooks? It’s definitely not normal for straight people, but according to psych professionals it is normal for LGBT people. We aren’t sick. We don’t need help. People who want to pathologize us need help. You want us to marry your daughters? Do you know what misery you are asking for for her?
You cannot reason with people who think the anus is a sex organ
Attraction to the same sex is a pathology. Sexual differentiation and sexual biology are ordered toward the opposite sex, not the same sex.
Anyone who has a desire to stuff things in his anus has a pathology. It’s an exit, not an entrance. Oh, it’s not normal for straight people but for gay people the desire to stuff things in your anus is perfectly normal? That’s your argument?
I suppose by your argument being possessed by a demon isn’t normal for unpossessed people, but it is normal for possessed people?
Don’t you see how circular your illogical argument is?
Don’t marry. Stay single if you can’t handle having a wife. Easy.
And don’t insist that social norms should change to reflect a made-up version of human nature and biology that contradicts truth and reality.
God has definitely said that LGBT is not normal and does not accord with his will. End of discussion.
Being blind isn’t a normal human condition. People shouldn’t be blind. If they are, there is something wrong. Do you think blindness is normal for blind people?
Being deaf isn’t a normal human condition. People shouldn’t be deaf. If they are, there is something wrong. Do you think deafness is normal for deaf people?
Similarly, LGBT isn’t a normal human condition. People shouldn’t be LGBT. If they are, there is something wrong. The reason textbooks don’t say so is because the medical profession has been corrupted by LGBT ideology to hide the truth of the abnormality of LGBT.
I got news for you. Most people who stuff things in their anus are straight.
It is not a sin to be attracted to people of your same sex. Indulging thoughts of having sexual contact or having sexual contact of any kind is a sin for anyone of whatever orientation. (With the exception of a man and woman in a sacramental union-and even then, there are things forbidden.)
It does not matter if it is normal or not. It matters if it is sinful.
The Groomer has spoken
YFC needs to listen to Joe Sciamba and others when they say, “Don’t do what I have done, ” but some people will only learn the hard way. Pray they wake up before it too late.
