NBC News is 100 percent on board with the LGBTQ agenda; they even have a special section of their website called NBC Out that “showcases feature stories, original videos and other unique content about, and of interest to, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.” It’s under NBC Out you’ll find compelling stories like this one: LGBTQ fans of Disney say they’re considering trips to Disneyland in California or even EuroDisney in Paris “as they wait to see what happens with Florida’s anti-LGBTQ policies.”
Not to belabor the point, but did you get that? NBC News just throws in “Florida’s anti-LGBTQ policies” as if they’re a commonly known fact. What anti-LGBTQ policies? Not letting minors get life-altering surgeries? Not teaching kindergarteners about sexual orientation? It’s just like with “Don’t Say Gay” — the mainstream media just adopts the language of LGBTQ activists as its default.

As an aside, friends of this editor’s daughter — a married lesbian couple — are arriving at Disney World today to celebrate a birthday. They apparently weren’t dissuaded by that “travel advisory” put out by Equity Florida.
But that’s just one couple. NBC News found others who would rather fly to Europe. Emma Sánchez reports:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ anti-LGBTQ policies have some LGBTQ Disney fans and Disney World employees on edge to see what the future will be for the Magic Kingdom. Adding to worries is Disney’s legal battle with the state over control of the special tourism district where the Disney World parks reside.
…
The parks also host many other LGBTQ social groups and employ a large number of LGBTQ cast members. But Disney’s LGBTQ fans who live both in and out of Florida have expressed their concerns about traveling to the parks.
San Antonio resident and longtime Disney fan Uriel Diaz has been to three of Disney’s theme park locations: Disneyland in California, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan and Disney World.
Diaz, who identifies as nonbinary and uses the pronouns he and they, has only been to Disney World once, in 2017. It was around Christmastime, so it was “extra magical,” Diaz told NBC News. Diaz’s husband proposed to them on that trip.
“I will always remember Cinderella coming up to us and being like, ‘I’m so happy you found your prince and congratulations,’” Diaz said. “Oh my gosh, it meant so much because it was my first time going.”
In terms of visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” Diaz is going to wait a little while before heading to Disney World again.
“I do believe that it will be a safe space, but everything around it, everything else you have to do to get there is scary right now,” Diaz said.

Travel bloggers Steph and Katie Burlton of Vancouver, Canada “were surprised by how comfortable they felt as a couple at Disney World during their visit in 2018.” So DeSantis doesn’t have his stormtroopers inside Disney World beating up gays after all?
Good. Go.

If that is what you truly believe, go for it.

Our rules simply boil down to “don’t act like a degenerate in public especially in front of children” if you have a hard time following that then please don’t come to Florida.

I’m sorry not mutilating children is such a issue for them

Oh yes please go. California would love to have you all.

“We need to come up with our evacuation plan if and when things start to get real,” said Don Ford, a Florida resident and Disney World annual pass holder. What, aren’t things “real” enough to make you move out of the state? We’ve been assured it’s dangerous.
