Remember when The Walt Disney Company railed against Florida over its so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
ESPN, whose parent company is Disney, held a “moment of silence” for the bill that protected parental rights and kept books in age-appropriate sections.
Disney strongly supports the gay community…so it’s building its newest park in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The UAE criminalizes homosexuality. The Ministry of Education, I kid you not, “explicitly prohibits discussing gender identity, homosexuality or any other behavior deemed unacceptable to the UAE’s society’ in class.”
Islam is the state religion. Sharia is the source of law.
Sharia law…so same-sex sexual activity is punishable by death.
From Human Dignity Trust:
Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the Criminal Codes of the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, which criminalises ‘unnatural sex with another person’, and Dubai, which criminalises acts of ‘sodomy’. The Federal Penal Code criminalises ‘voluntary debasement’, but it is not clear what acts this covers. These provisions carry a maximum penalty of fourteen years’ imprisonment. Both men and women are criminalised under the law. Same-sex sexual activity may also be penalised under Sharia law, under which the death penalty is possible, though there is no evidence that this has been used against LGBT people.In addition to potentially being captured by laws that criminalise same-sex activity, trans people may also face prosecution under the Federal Penal Code 1987, which criminalises a ‘male disguising as a female’ with a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment and a fine.
The UAE also has public decency laws, which cover kissing in public and cross-dressing.
I honestly don’t have to say much more, do I? Another hypocrisy move by a super woke company that doesn’t practice what it preaches. Totes shocked! (That’s sarcasm, by the way.)
