It has become somewhat passé to complain about the Walt Disney Company. Once a titan of American storytelling, Disney has gone from producing culture to pushing the cultural revolution. Disney has pushed for abortion across the U.S. and offers employees full coverage for expenses if they wish to travel to procure an abortion and has championed the LGBT agenda, as well. Their content reflects this. They have promoted a drag queen special for children; launched a bisexual teen character who dabbles in witchcraft; and has committed to pushing LGBT characters in its content. In short, Disney is participating in the degradation of American culture and the indoctrination of the young audience they seek to reach. Again, that will not be news to many of my readers. This transformation has been going on for some time, and I suspect we’ve only seen the start of it. Soon enough, we’ll be getting LGBT blockbusters featuring princes falling in love with princes, princesses romancing princesses, and...

It’s been quite the year for Disney. The media conglomerate no longer hides its social conditioning aims. Disney executives have recently spoken about their desire to tell “queer stories” full of “gender-nonconforming characters.” Lightyear was a watershed moment in this ambition. But Lightyear was subtle compared to Strange World, the first Disney children’s movie to feature an openly gay lead character. The character in question, Ethan Clade (voiced by gay comic Jaboukie Young-White), is the son of a farmer, Searcher Clade (Jake Gyllenhaal), and the grandson of an explorer, Jaeger Clade (Dennis Quaid). The Clades reside in the fantastical world Avalonia, where a natural resource called Pando is harvested for farming and technology. The film’s convoluted plot is hard to summarize, but Ethan’s homosexuality plays no small part, as a romance buds early in the film with another teen boy, Diazo (Jonathan Melo). It’s a flirtation Ethan’s parents and grandfather encourage, and the filmmaker...

Earlier this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (Rep.) signed a bill into law that bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade. This bill, which has been dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by opponents, has brought about intense national controversy. This is due, in large part, to the prominent role that sexuality and gender identity play in today’s cultural conversations, as well as the influence of the LGBTQ+ movement in all aspects of our society. Even as the bill was being debated in the Florida legislature, organizations and companies across the country rallied in support or opposition of the bill. Acting ERLC President Brent Leatherwood, speaking about the bill, said, “For years, we have asked elected officials to prioritize the protection of children and to respect families in their policy-making. In general, this new law creates a framework for just that. Mothers and fathers absolutely should be the ones surfacing complex matters...
