It's Not Just Frozen: Most Disney Movies Are Pro-Gay from the Atlantic
"By preaching acceptance and questioning gender, the company's kids films offer a queer-studies crash course."
For decades, it has been fashionable among east coast liberals to look down their noses at the Disney media/culture machine. However, as this article suggests (and I have argued for some time), the Disney Company has been at the FOREFRONT since the 1980s of promoting broad cultural
acceptance and the embrace of diversity -- this includes ethnic/racial/gender (to some extent)/sexual orientation (to some extent) and other forms of diversity. We have had two generations of young people raised on the deep diversity messaging that has come through Disney movies, the Disney channel, and other modes of consumer education. We now look out on a landscape of under-30 voters who have moved decisively to the left on cultural issues. As much as many liberals may hate to say so, the Disney Company deserves some meaningful credit for this -- and I do not believe it was an accident.
