Disney communications exec exits company after ‘Don’t Say Gay’ controversy
Disney communication executive Geoff Morrell, who helped pen the company’s response to the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, has left after three months.
Recently, Disney has been embroiled in controversy over its response to Florida’s harmful ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. Back in March, the company received immense backlash for their silence and alleged donations to every sponsor and co-sponsor of the heinous bill.
After numerous protests and pushback from longtime Disney enthusiasts, the company released a lack-lustre statement supporting the LGBTQ+ community. “We understand how important this issue is to our LGBTQ+ employees and many others.
For nearly a century, Disney has been a unifying force that brings people together. We are determined that it remains a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect,” the company said via Good Morning America.
