    It’s the rare example where amoral capitalistic greed can actually lead to a more morally defensible position than the actively horrible ideology against which it is compared. Disney doesn’t give a fuck about any human being’s particular right to be any version of themselves one way or the other, but they do care about how much money they can make off of the largest swathe of people, and they’ve done the math and figured they make more money being more accepting than the Republican party.

    It is, in fact, a case in which “We believe nothing Lebowski!” is actually preferable to “At least it’s an ethos!”
