Disney CEO Bob Chapek has promised to produce more LGBT content for the studio’s youngest audience members.
Employees for the megacorporation staged a walkout on Tuesday in protest of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill just one day after Chapek told a town hall audience that he was creating a task force to ensure greater LGBT awareness and content is made available for children, according to the Daily Mail.
“We know the moment requires urgency – and words are not enough, so we are taking some actions right now,” Chapek reportedly told audience members.
The LGBT task force is set to be led by Disney Studios Senior Vice President of Communications Paul Roeder and Senior Vice President of Global Marketing for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Lisa Becket, U.S. News reported. The purpose of the task force is to create a comprehensive plan to guarantee that Disney is seen as a “force for good” for LGBT children and adult communities, according to the outlet.
