Disney CEO’s Statement On LGBTQ+ Rights Praised By Mark Ruffalo & Another Marvel Actor
As controversy continued to swirl around Disney’s stance on Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the Hulk himself today tweeted praise for Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s statement in support of the LGBTQ+ community.“I want to be crystal clear: I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities,” Chapek said in a memo to employees earlier this week.
Mark Ruffalo, who as the Hulk was part of the MCU — and Disney’s extended family — this morning shared Chapek’s quote and a one word response: “Bravo!” “I want to be crystal clear: I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities,” Bravo!

His praise of Chapek, however, was not received well by commenters on the tweet, one of whom wrote, “I’m sorry your boss made you post this.”To be fair, Ruffalo is a relentless supporter of progressive causes, including those impacting the LGBTQ+ community.
