Disney announces new 2022 LGBTQ+ clothing collection for kids
The collection's proceeds will be donated to various LGBTQ+ charity organizations
Disney released a new LGBTQ+ clothing line for children on Monday amid the company's feud with Florida Republicans and Gov. Ron DeSantis over the state's new parental rights law.
The clothing line features the rainbow Pride flag printed on T-shirts, baby clothes, bracelets, sweaters, socks, backpacks and other items.

Several products incorporate the flag’s colors with fictional Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse. Pride-themed Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar selections are also available. The items are sold at Disney retail shops, the ‘shopDisney’ online store and all of Disney’s theme parks.
"The Disney Pride Collection was created by LGBTQIA+ employees and allies at The Walt Disney Company and is a reflection of their incredible contributions and place at the heart of the company," Disney wrote in its announcement. "We stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community everywhere."
The company has produced Pride children’s clothes every year since 2018, but the clothing line was renamed this year from the "Rainbow Disney Collection" to the "Disney Pride Collection."
Disney also said in a statement that the entirety of the proceeds from the collection’s sales up to June 30, the last day of Pride month, will be donated to various LGBTQ+ charity organizations. The company previously only donated a small percentage of the clothing line's profits.
