A new video from right-wing journalist James O’Keefe shows Disney executives saying they want to see more LGBTQ content for kids and that they’d like to see drag queens come to Disneyland one day.
The video, released Wednesday as part of an ongoing series, shows undercover agents from O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) secretly recording Amit “Jeanie” Gurnani, Disney’s creative marketing director and a current drag queen. In the video, Gurnani is heard talking about wanting more LGBTQ content for kids and wanting drag queens at Disneyland.
“I despise people who accuse Disney of seducing kids, but I also want kids to see LGBTQ content. Don’t you agree?” the reporter asked.
“Oh, of course. It’s tacit,” Gurnani apparently replied.
The reporter then asked, “Can you meet drag queens at Disneyland? Is that what you want to do? Do you want to hire a drag queen at Disneyland?”
“Oh, I’d love to,” Gurnani seemed to say. “I think it will happen someday.”
Gurnani also appeared to deny claims by Disney CEO Bob Iger that the company is cutting back on LGBTQ content.
“Bob Iger has no intention of removing LGBTQ content,” he reportedly said.

As reported by Breitbart News, other hidden camera footage from OMG shows a Disney TV executive identified as Michael Giordano saying the studio will explicitly exclude white men as part of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.
“Certainly, there were times when I knew there was no way I was going to hire a white guy for this job,” he said.
The interviewer asked if this was an unspoken rule, to which Giordano replied, “Sometimes it’s just a verbal rule.”
Breitbart News also reported that “Disney is facing a federal civil rights lawsuit that claims its DEI policies are unlawful and discriminate against white American men, Christians and Jews.” America First Legal submitted Regarding the lawsuit filed against Disney in February.”
