The statement Disney released today used the words, "relevant" and "inclusive." But, evidently, that inclusiveness does not apply to L.G.B.T. people.
Disney has never made any feature film with an L.G.B.T. protagonist, and two Disney+ Original series, which would have both had such characters, were cancelled before they even reached the service.
Disney's L.G.B.T. audience, as well as the L.G.B.T. talent Disney needs to stay in business, are coming to the realization that token representation is all the company intends to offer and that this representation will be promptly and easily removed in certain markets because Disney prefers this censorship to losing access to these places.
