Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.15% heir Charlee Disney publicly came out as transgender in a recent interview, and said they wished they could have done more to advocate against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill.
The policy has drawn intense scrutiny from people across the U.S. who argue it marginalizes LGBTQ+ people, and from Florida teachers and parents who believe the law is vaguely worded and could impact how families are discussed and history lessons are taught. “I feel like I don’t do very much to help,” they said. “I don’t call senators or take action. I felt like I could be doing more.”
“I had very few openly gay role models,” Charlee Disney said. “And I certainly didn’t have any trans or nonbinary role models. I didn’t see myself reflected in anyone, and that made me feel like there was something wrong with me.”
