Disney Board Wants To Hide Political Donations, Spending On Sex Changes From Shareholders, Docs Reveal

The Walt Disney Company board wants to hide key financial data from the 
public, particularly as it relates to their funding of the transgender 
movement and donations to political candidates, documents reviewed by the 
Daily Caller reveal.

The 2024 proxy vote ballot for Disney’s annual shareholder meeting, 
scheduled for April 2, reveals the board doesn’t want the public, or even 
their own shareholders, to know how much Disney spends on “gender 
transition compensation and benefits” for its staff. Despite the board’s 
suggested vote to shareholders, the National Legal and Policy Center 
(NLPC) and National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) are urging 
the company to release the data.

In Disney’s 2024 “Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy 
Statement,” Disney details how the NLPC and NCPPR notified the company 
that they intend to present proposals focused on these issues. Within the 
same document, Disney “affirms” that people who suffer from gender 
dysphoria can “transition to a different sex.” However, “an increasing 
body of scientific evidence shows no benefits result from such medical 
treatments,” the NLPC argues. They go on to cite the European and American 
medical community’s “increasing” caution about gender-transition 
“therapies.”


“Victims report transition treatments and surgeries are harmful. Examples 
include long-lasting or permanent outcomes like chronic pain, sexual 
dysfunction, unwanted hair loss or hair gain, menstrual irregularities, 
urinary problems, and other complications,” the statement continues. 
“Rather than resolve health problems ‘gender affirming’ therapies instead 
often exacerbate them. In such instances, those who desire to 
‘detransition’ cannot find medical care or insurance coverage, and are 
permanently mutilated. Many of these sufferers litigate against those who 
misled or harmed them.”

But as transitioners are de-transitioners are protected under “gender 
identity” and “sexual orientation” aspects of the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission (EEOC), they cannot be discriminated against in any 
way, resulting in Disney covering transition procedures.

Shareholders have asked the board to issue a report on Disney’s funding of 
gender care and related activities by Dec. 31, 2024, and whether there are 
any “benefit gaps” related to gender dysphoria, as well as “associated 
reputational, competitive, operational and litigative risks.”

Similarly, Disney doesn’t want shareholders to approve the publication of 
the company’s charitable and political donations. The board recommends a 
vote against “requesting a report on political expenditures” and 
“publication of recipients of charitable contributions.”

In their recommendation, NCPPR argued that there are “issues” with 
donating to certain groups who support sex-change surgeries, not just for 
the potential legal and medical issues listed above, but because is it 
“time Disney stop injecting itself into controversial and significant 
social policy issues,” the proposal stated.


Disney’s board ignores all the arguments and scientific evidence laid out 
by the NCPPR and NLPC in their explanation for why they’re recommending 
voting “against” the proposals. “We believe the proposal is an attempt to 
generate attention from a proponent with a narrow focus seeking to advance 
a limited agenda rather than an authentic attempt to call for action in 
the best interest of the Company and shareholders,” Disney wrote in 
response to the proposals.

The board also ignored any mention of “gender” in their request for 
shareholders to reject the proposal to publicize Disney’s charitable 
donation, and instead stated the company is already transparent enough 
about their spending. (RELATED: Disney CEO Pledges To Double Down On LGBT

“In its opposition statement Disney revealed why our proposal is so 
important, and how badly it has failed to fulfill its fiduciary duties. 
Disney clearly hasn’t spent a single moment considering how much Iger and 
his team have harmed the company by going full-in on politics instead of 
running the company for shareholder and even genuine stakeholder benefit. 
Iger has hired people like Kathleen Kennedy who hate Disney’s customers 
and want to shove their politics down audiences’ throats rather than 
entertaining them,” NCPPR director Scott Shepard said in a statement to 
the Daily Caller. “Iger seems to think that by adopting a partisan 
position he makes it non-partisan and just ‘the right thing to do.’ He is 
wrong in this, of course, as he’s wrong in just about every decision he’s 
made for many years.”

Disney has found itself increasingly mired in political squabbles in 
recent years, most notably with Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who 
has gone after the megacorporation’s special tax status. Conservatives 
have accused Disney of shoehorning progressive messaging into its content 
and pursuing a political agenda over putting out quality family content.
