In a powerful show of support for LGBTQ+ rights, Disney shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected a proposal from the far-right Free Enterprise Project urging the company to sever ties with the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The proposal, presented at Disney’s annual meeting on March 20, falsely claimed that HRC and similar organizations “sow gender confusion in children” and demanded an end to Disney’s participation in the Corporate Equality Index (CEI).
Only 1% of shareholders voted in favor of the motion, making it a clear loss for the anti-“woke” crowd. Even Disney’s own board advised against the proposal. Eric Bloem of HRC called the result “a clear statement of values,” noting that other corporate giants like Apple and Costco have also stood firm against attempts to dismantle DEI initiatives.
This vote sends a strong message: despite pressure from reactionary forces, queer inclusion still matters in corporate America. Yet, Disney’s record isn’t spotless — the company recently cut a trans storyline from an animated show and scaled back internal DEI efforts. Still, this latest shareholder decision proves that even in a shaky political climate, bigots don’t get the final word.
