I have noticed lately that Disney isn't avoiding the topic of gay people any longer, and I like them all the better for it.
I have a rainbow Mickey Mouse lapel pin that includes the turquoise stripe (representing art/music). They've been anything but avoiding it. This makes me really want to call that manager of the Disney Store and tell her that I want to jump for this job, now.
Boom. FUCKING BOOM. Sorry, but as a secretly unwanted member of BSA, I just really think they deserved this! :badgrin:
Being a Boy Scout myself, I think that they need to pull their heads out of their asses and get rid of this police entirely. They're just losing supporters everywhere because of it (as evidenced here). Disney isn't the first company to pull funding over it, and I don't think they'll be the last.
Just to note, Disney to pull Boy Scouts funding by 2015 over gay-leader ban - CNN.com They gave them until 2015 to remove the policies before they'll pull funding. That way, if they lose the 4.8 million dollars worth of volunteer hours, it'll be on the BSA, not on Disney.
