from Stand Firm by Greg Griffith
"Disney shareholders on Thursday voted down a proposal put forth by an advocacy group to expand the entertainment giant's non-discrimination policy to include people who the group says are formerly gay, CNBC has learned.
"A group called Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays, or PFOX, is asking the entertainment giant to expand non-discrimination practices to cover "men and women with unwanted same-sex attractions who leave homosexuality by gender affirming therapy, faith based ministries, Homosexuals Anonymous support groups, or other non-judgmental environments."
"Whether a homosexual can become "ex-gay" is hotly debated, but PFOX claims the ex-gay community is "subject to an increasingly hostile environment because they live out or support a different view of homosexuality." Therefore, they're seeking specific protection from discrimination in Disney's employment policy."
I love the way "whether a homosexual can become 'ex-gay' is hotly debated," but whether a straight person can become gay is SETTLED FACT AND NOT UP FOR DEBATE SO SHUT UP, OKAY?
I'm thinking that given the affinity between TEC and Disney, this deserves some kind of grand and useless gesture at the next GenCon. Maybe a resolution, or at least some liturgical dance. It's the least this Mickey Mouse church could do.
