Marvel’s Victoria Alonso calls for Disney to “Take A Stand” against ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
Marvel Studio’s Victoria Alonso and Disney boss, Bob Chapek, have reportedly spoken following Disney’s poor response to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation hitting the US.
On Saturday (2 April), Alonso disclosed the sentiments of her conversation with the Chapek as she accepted a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film for Eternals in Los Angeles.
The Marvel executive spoke to the LGBTQ+ community and, more widely, called for a “stand” to be taken against “crazy outdated laws”, Deadline reports. “If you are a member of the LGBTQIA community and you work at the Walt Disney Company, the last two or three weeks have been a sad event.
I’ve asked Mr. Chapek for courage in a 45-minute sit-down,” Alonso said, standing next to Eternals director Chloe Zhao and Marvel producer Nate Moore.
