Bonus Video! Unexpected Allies at the Top of the Disney Corporation
Added 2024-08-25 16:00:10 +0000 UTCHello there!
For this week's bonus video, we're taking a look at how the Disney corporation went from being surprisingly debauched in the 1920s ... to pretty intolerant of gays ... to a place that (compared to other companies) was relatively welcoming by the 1990s. So, why did Disney executives start welcoming queer employees -- was it out of sheer human decency? Hahaha, no, it was money all along.
Come join me on Twitch for a stream today at noon pacific/3pm eastern -- we'll be watching & discussing a documentary about the making of Beauty and the Beast: twitch.tv/mattbaume
For more reading on all these topics, I highly recommend these great books:
