'We need Disney to stop giving money to these people who want to see queer kids disappear.' An employee working at Disney's Burbank headquarters says her employer's response to the DontSayGay bill has been weak.
It's yet unclear whether or how many employees may have walked out at Disney's Anaheim theme parks and at the company's other properties. But Terrace said she knew of many Disney employees who were too scared to walk out.
"They're terrified of losing their jobs and terrified of not being able to get a job afterwards," she said."A lot of those people aren't in leadership positions which is extra awful because no one, no matter what their position, should feel unsafe voicing their support or even expressing their identity to their employer."
After Terrace and other employees walked out of their Burbank offices, they met at a park to write letters of support to the Zebra Coalition, a Florida nonprofit group that supports LGBTQ+ youth.They joined in on writing letters of affirmation to the LGBTQIA+ children and families in FL effected by the bill.
