Oscar Issac Says Disney’s ‘Don't Say Gay’ Bill Response Is ‘Ridiculous’
Moon Knight on Disney+ next week, but he isn’t holding back on his criticism of Disney’s response — or rather, lack thereof — to the “don’t say gay” bill recently passed in Florida, which prohibits instruction regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.Speaking with Variety, Issac said (well, technically sang), “I guess my comment would be: gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gayyyyyy!”“It’s an absolutely ridiculous law,” he added.
It’s insane. It’s insanity. And I hope that Disney as a company comes out as forcefully as possible against this idea. It’s astounding that it even exists in this country.”His Moon Knight co-star Ethan Hawke also commented on the need for LGBTQ+ visibility in pop culture. “My life’s work is dedicated to creating empathy,” Hawke said. “I feel the power of stories that we tell each other.
If you tell the truth about human experience, you invite empathy. And the more places we shine light, the less dark places there are, and there’s less to be afraid of.
And the more we understand each other’s experiences, the more humanity we find in them, and the better we all actually feel.
