This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007's Bridge to Terabithia.

So it's not really the first then, is it?

An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney's attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.

This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren't they leaving money on the table like this? "Well, because of Trump." Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??

This article isn't very well written. Many such cases, sadly.
