Disney Shareholders Reject Anti-LGBTQ+ Proposals, Uphold Commitment To DEI At Annual Meeting

Disney shareholders rejected a proposal to withdraw from the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index, with only 1% voting in favor of the proposal submitted by the right-wing National Center for Public Policy Research.
The National Center for Public Policy Research took issue with Disney's support for trans rights efforts backed by the Human Rights Campaign.
The vote comes after Disney scaled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies last month, despite its history of championing LGBTQ+ rights, including opposing Florida's 'don't say gay' school policy.
