Disney loses big at box office amid economic challenges, concerns about LGTBQ activism
At least half of Disney's eight movies over the past year included LGBT-related scenes or characters.
LGBTQ+ issues into the iconic American media company brand has led to financial problems.
To be sure, Disney, started in 1923 by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney, and which brought the world the popular Mickey Mouse character, has recently had financial challenges.
In February, returning Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the company would be cutting costs by $5.5 billion and terminating about 7,000 jobs.
The LGBTQ+ issue is in large part that under Iger’s predecessor, Bob Chapek, Disney denounced Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act – which critics called the "Don't Say Gay" bill – that restricts discussion of certain sexual topics in schools from kindergarten through third grade.
As a result, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law in February revoking Disney's special control over the district where its amusement park is located.
Disney filed a lawsuit against DeSantis and other state officials in April for allegedly creating a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" over the company's opposition to the parental rights law.

West plotting ‘color revolution’ in Serbia – Moscow
Foreign agents are seeking to destabilize the Balkan nation in the wake of two mass shootings, a top Russian senator claims.
Western nations appear to be laying the groundwork for a ‘color revolution’ in Serbia, according to Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of the upper chamber of Russia’s parliament. She claimed that public anger is being whipped up following two mass shootings in the country.
“What we have today is a classic example of network-centric warfare, when net structures under Western control use some hot-button issue to destabilize the situation, hoping it would serve as a trigger. Then they provoke mass demonstrations and deploy prepared local opposition,” she said in an interview with Sputnik Serbia on Monday.
Matvienko said the same approach was used during the Arab Spring uprisings, as well as in Iran. In Serbia’s case, she added, the US and its allies are seeking to stir public anger over the two mass shootings, which took place in Belgrade and Mladenovac.
On May 3, a school shooting in Belgrade claimed ten lives, after one of the students used his father’s firearms to attack other children and staff. The following day, a 20-year-old man went on a shooting spree, killing nine at several locations.

Opposition was ready to stage armed coup in Belarus amid crisis in Russia – Lukashenko
The Belarusian army was put on full combat alert as the Wagner PMC launched its mutiny in the neighboring country, the president has said
The opposition in Belarus was prepared to stage an armed coup amid the revolt by the Wagner private military company in Russia, but was prevented from fulfilling its plans, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has claimed, according to the state-run BelTa news agency.
Lukashenko said on Tuesday that his opponents had started “buzzing with activity” when Wagner launched its mutiny in the neighboring country last week. “But it was a false start,” he added.
The opposition “has already published its appeals and plans… that they are also ready to implement the scenario of an armed rebellion [in Belarus],” the president claimed. “They’re trying to demonstrate at least some results to their curators [abroad].”
“When the events in Russia were happening, I gave all the orders to put the army on full combat alert,” Lukashenko said, adding that the same was true for the police and the special forces.
