The place of LGBTQ at Disney
Little mentioned within the famous American firm, homosexuality is still too taboo a subject. However, there is some progress to note. Indeed, the short film “Out” on Disney + features an openly gay character. GLAAD, the Observatory for LGBTQ Representation, congratulated Disney on twitter. Still timid beginnings but promising for the future!
