Nearly 7 in 10 Americans, upset with Disney’s embrace of the LGBTQ movement, no longer want to do “business” with Mickey Mouse and instead will seek out “family-friendly alternatives,” according to a new survey shared with Secrets.
The latest data said that 68.2% of voters are now “less likely to do business with Disney.” Of those, 57.2% are “much less likely” to buy from the entertainment giant known for its kid-friendly parks and movies.
What’s more, 69% said that they are likely to “support family-friendly alternatives to Disney.”
The survey, from Convention of States Action in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, also found that concerns about Disney’s plan to create related content are bipartisan, with 48.2% of Democrats also saying they are less likely to “do business” with Disney.
The poll follows several reports that Disney is open to exploring sexual issues and LGBTQ characters in its products.
Just this week, a key Disney heir revealed that his child is transgender, and the firm’s CEO said that she is the “mother of two queer children — one transgender child and one pansexual child.”
In a fundraising letter for the Human Rights Fund, Roy Disney blasted Florida’s new LGBTQ law, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, which has prompted a new focus on gay rights.
“We were heartbroken when Ron DeSantis signed the ‘Don’t Say Gay or Trans’ law in Florida,” Disney wrote. “The fight isn’t over, and we are determined to do everything we can to stop this from happening in other places.”
The law bars K-3 classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
The issue has caught the attention of Disney’s fans, according to the survey.
“These numbers reveal clearly that 2022’s parent’s revolt movement is growing stronger every day. Parents are infuriated by the widespread leftists assault on their kids. Disney is about to learn that attempting to ideologically and sexually groom our children is a recipe for brand destruction, costing the company massively in both customers and revenue. Who in the hell is in charge at Disney?” said Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action, upon releasing the survey.
“Our numbers also found that parents are actively seeking family-friendly alternatives to Disney, which is great news for our friends at The Daily Wire Kids, at Angel Studios, and for creators looking to capitalize on a massive marketplace opportunity to provide more than two-thirds of parents the family-friendly choices they’re looking for,” he added.
