Disney Reportedly Cuts Transgender Storyline From New Animated Show, Releases Stunning Statement About Parental Choice
After immersing itself in the culture wars, it seems Disney might now be doing a bit of an about-face.
The children’s entertainment giant has cut a transgender storyline from “Win or Lose,” a Pixar animated series slated to premiere in February, according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR).
The character is reportedly still in the show, though some lines uttered about gender identity will no longer appear. It’s a decision said to have been made several months ago, according to THR.
But parental rights advocates are rejoicing. Alleigh Marré, executive director of American Parents Coalition, said in a statement to CBN News that this is a step in the right direction.
“Many organizations are realizing that pushing gender ideology on kids is not only irresponsible but it comes at the expense of parental support and buy-in for the brand writ large,” she said. “While there is still much work to be done in promoting appropriate streaming and media options for kids, parents should take heart that their voices are being heard.”
Marré continued, “Parents should always be [in] the driver’s seat for how and when personal and sensitive topics are introduced and discussed.”
