Over 71% Of Adults Want Disney To Drop 'LGBTQIA' Agenda And Return To Family-Friendly Entertainment

Over 71 percent of American adults want Disney to pivot back toward "family-friendly entertainment" and away from the LGBTQIA agenda.

A Rasmussen poll also found that 53 percent of adults "strongly agreed" with the following statement: "Disney should return to wholesome programming and allow parents to decide when their children are taught about sexuality?"

In 2022, Disney executive Karen Burke touted that "the company has ‘many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and that Disney received positive feedback from LGBTQ activists.

However, another 54 percent of participants say "LGBTQIA programming" is not "appropriate for children under 12." 

Creepy LGBTQ activists do not control the box office. Ordinary Americans do. And Rasmussen's polling is consistent with how moviegoers at large view Disney films. 

Disney Pixar's "Elemental," included a "non-binary" character and opened to just $29.5 million at the domestic box office.

"Strange World," which involved a same-sex teen romance, was an even bigger flop. The Wrap described the film as "one of the biggest bombs in [Disney's] 100-year history."

The entire Disney brand has suffered from its embrace of left-wing political messaging. Consequently, Disney lost over $600 million from just four films in 2023: "The Marvels," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," "Wish," and "Haunted Mansion."

An Axios Harris study found that Americans now consider Disney the fifth most polarizing brand in the country. 

The polling and box office data are conclusive: the ever-expanding LGBTQIA agenda has no place in Disney films. 

Parents do not want filmmakers teaching their kids about same-sex kissing and gender dysphoria. Why would they?

Thus, Disney has a choice. It can a), listen to its customers and start making films people actually want to see again. Or it can b), continue to suffer record declines in exchange for impressing a few trans and non-binary activists.

We'll see.
