After being under fire for Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill for months now, the company has officially announced its stance on inclusive societies and the LGTBQIA+ community. In a press release made by the label, the company introduced the collection,

"The Disney Pride Collection was created by LGBTQIA+ employees and allies at The Walt Disney Company and is a reflection of their incredible contributions and place at the heart of the company. We stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community everywhere."

That's not all; the Senior Vice President, Global Marketing, Lisa Becket, also introduced the collection in a press release as she stated she is herself a part of the LGBTQIA+ community,

"Honoring Pride is a long-standing tradition of The Walt Disney Company, and I am incredibly proud to work for a company that supports inclusion as a core value and provides a welcoming environment which allows me to bring my true authentic self to work. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a longstanding Disney cast member (more than 20 years!), I greatly appreciate the consistent opportunity for my voice to be heard."

Lisa Becket further talked about the label's involvement and support towards the community and their other projects promoting inclusivity. She revealed that the brand had supported organizations and charities worldwide, including the U.S based organization GLSEN.

This is not the first time the company has introduced a collection inspired by the cause. In 2018, the company released Rainbow Mickey Collection, which was inspired by the community but not openly marketed. However, the company has further deepened its support for the cause with the collection.

Lisa Becket further revealed that the company wouldn't be stopping with just the Pride Collection releasing in June, but it will continue all year round to make an impact. The Pride Collection, launched on June 1, 2022, is just the first drop from the initiative, and more drops will be launched soon.

In the official press release made by the label, the company revealed that through the collection, all the benefits would be given to LGBTQIA+ organizations, which include PFLAG, GLSEN, Zebra Coalition, The Trevor Project, LGTBQ Center Orange County, Los Angeles LGBT Center, Ali Forney Center, and San Francisco LGBT Center.

"The Walt Disney Company will be donating all of our profits from the Disney Pride Collection sales now through June 30, 2022 to organizations that support LGBTQIA+ youth and families. This includes sales of Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars Pride Collection merchandise."

Profits from other regions worldwide will also be given to local charities.

The merch drop from the Pride Collection features Star Wars insignia, Marvel superheroes, and the iconic cartoon character Mickey Mouse and his ears in a color palette reminiscent of the general pride flag.

1. Mickey Mouse Denim Backpack, which retails for $39.99
