Disney heir publicly comes out as transgender and addresses ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
Charlee Corra Disney, an heir to the Disney name, has publicly come out as transgender and criticised the highly controversial ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law.
Charlee Disney was opened up about their identity, days after the Disney family pledged half a million dollars to the Human Rights Campaign, which is America’s largest LGBTQ+ advocacy group.
Roy P Disney, who is the great-nephew of Walt Disney and the co-founder of Walt Disney Co, told the Washington Times: “My wife, Sheri, and I have been members of HRC for over 20 years. “Equality matters deeply to us, especially because our child, Charlee, is transgender and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. “We were heartbroken when Ron DeSantis signed the ‘Don’t Say Gay or Trans’ law in Florida.
The fight isn’t over, and we are determined to do everything we can to stop this from happening in other places.” Charlee Disney, a 30-year-old science teacher, told the LA Times they came out to close family and friends four years ago, but chose to be more public with their identity in light of the hostile LGBTQ+ laws emerging across the US.
