In case you are trying to keep track of Disney‘s political morals, here is a summary: a state that doesn’t teach kindergarteners about being gay is a moral travesty, but a country that makes it illegal to be gay is a business opportunity.
Disney is building a new theme park resort in none other than the United Arab Emirates, with the UAE agreeing to cover the estimated $10 billion cost. It will be just the seventh Disney theme park resort in the world, and it will be run by the UAE’s state-backed entertainment developer Miral. Disney is essentially franchising itself to Miral, with the House of Mouse essentially only handling the design and branding of the park.
