The ceremony kicked off with Oscar hosts Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall commenting on the anti-gay legislation going on in Florida. \u201cWell, we\u2019re going to have a great night tonight and for you people in Florida, we\u2019re going to have a gay night,\u201d Sykes said. Of course, the audience cheered them on as the three hosts sung, &#8220;GAY GAY GAY.&#8221;<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\nThe &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay&#8221; bill is called the Parental Rights in Education Act, and it restricts teachers from teaching about gender identity and sexuality in kindergarten through third-grade classes. The UN considers this type of legislation a human rights abuse. Initially, Disney declined to comment on the content of the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay&#8221; bill, despite the fact that the company had provided political donations to all the politicians who supported the anti-gay legislation. Instead of responding to the bill&#8217;s content, Disney chose not to directly address the law and recommitted itself to producing LGBTQ+ content and rights.

Disney cast members are notoriously tight-lipped about the company because of strict NDAs. However, people are speaking out this time because so many of Disney&#8217;s LGBTQ+ employees feel the company has let them down.
