Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content, has said there is a push to see 50% of the main characters to be LGBT or from ethnic minorities by the end of the year.
Burke made the statement as a mother of two queer children, and the call was part of Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” campaign.
