Alex Hirsch spoke out on Twitter in response to Disney's Pride Month post, recounting the difficulties he had with LGBTQ inclusion on his 2012-2016 Disney Channel and DisneyXD series. “Disney privately: Cut the gay scene! We might lose precious pennies from Russia & China! Disney publicly: Clown face Honk honk we put rainbow bumper sticker on Lightning McQueen today CONSUME OUR PRODUCTS TEENS,” he wrote. “To any creative at Disney TV, Feature, Publishing or Streaming: please mercilessly spam your execs with ‘there’s room for everyone under the rainbow’ next time they tell you to ‘please revise’ your LGBTQ+ character for ‘not being Disney appropriate.'"
