These places include the countries Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudia Arabia, Tunisia, Yemen, and the region of Palestine. Nearly a dozen of the places where Disney+ will soon be offered have strict anti-gay laws. This past Tuesday, the transnational entertainment titan announced that it would be launching its eponymous streaming service, Disney+, in 42 new areas in Europe, Asia, and West Africa from May to June of 2022. This move comes despite the company’s insistence on laundering LGBT+ narratives into content for children in the United States and its commitment to repealing Florida’s recently passed - and widely supported - “Parental Rights in Education” law. The Walt Disney Company is expanding its operations in at least ten explicitly anti-gay countries and regions.
