Disney to Remove All Mentions of Traditional Gender Roles at Theme Parks
Disney is scrubbing the use of “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls” from its theme parks to make them more welcoming, a company executive said in a video posted online. Vivian Ware, Disney’s diversity and inclusion manager, made the remarks in a video posted to Twitter Tuesday by writer Christopher F. Rufo. The video comes as the entertainment giant has found itself in the middle of culture war battles, facing pressure to oppose Florida legislation critics say undermines LGBTQ rights.
