I must be an idiot, because I just don't get it...

 All of this kerfufflery about who's gay, 
who isn't gay, and the rest of us who just 
don't give a shit what you are... 

I'm not trying to sound like some kinda curmudgeon 
or something, I just don't care what you wanna be 
when you grow up. I just want it to be your choice. 
And no matter what you do choose, keep it to yourself. 
I just don't care.
 
Were you aware that there actually is such a thing as a 'Gay Disney Pass'? 
There is no 'Straight Disney Pass', is there? (asking for a friend...)

Last Monday, Bob Chapek, the CEO of the Walt Disney Co., issued a memo to staff members stating that the corporation “unequivocally” supports LGBTQ+ rights but wouldn’t openly denounce the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. At the same time, it came to light that Disney had made prior political donations to lawmakers supporting the bill. (To make matters worse for Chapek, Disney’s former CEO, Bob Iger, had already tweeted criticism of the bill a month before.)
Many employees weren’t having it. In an internal company letter, “the LGBTQIA+ (they actually had to add a '+' sign to that alphabet soup of nonsense? When did that happen?) employees of Pixar and their allies” upbraided Chapek over the “hollow” display of support and the company’s lack of action on LGBTQ rights now and in the past. They also claimed Disney nixed “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection” in Pixar’s films. 

By Wednesday, Chapek had reversed course, saying Disney had been “opposed to the bill from the outset” and pledged a $5 million donation to LGBTQ rights groups, including the Human Rights Campaign. The nonprofit, though, wasn’t interested, announcing that it would reject Disney’s donation until the company took more “meaningful action” toward combating the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
