DISNEY DIGS IN! Disney Promotes First ‘Pride Night’ at Theme Park, Drapes Mickey in Rainbow Flag

The Walt Disney Company promoted its first ever ‘Pride Night’ on social media Wednesday, draping Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the Rainbow Flag.

“The first-ever Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite is coming to @Disneyland during Pride Month in June! This separately ticketed event celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community & allies will have themed entertainment, Disney characters, specialty menu items & more,” posted the company.

From the NY POST:

Disneyland promoted its first-ever “Pride Nite” at its California theme park on Twitter Monday, just as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took another shot at the entertainment conglomerate in the Sunshine State. 

The presumptive 2024 presidential candidate and Disney have been at odds ever since the corporate giant publicly condemned DeSantis-backed legislation that banned discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms. 

The feud then intensified when DeSantis, 44, created a new board to oversee Disney World, ending the House of Mouse’s long-held self-government.
