I don't think just the US - Disney pretty much has an enormous market worldwide. Even if USA is relatively progressive, even if they could probably risk putting in LGBT characters that might alienate some American audiences... Disney also reaches out to extremely conservative countries that are light years behind in social progress.

I'm not sure Disney is "not" progressive, I really think it does all right. How many of the princesses since the late 80s were non-white, for example? I can think of quite a few. And I don't think most of the recent (read: the last twenty five years) movies are even that sexist or whatever, being romantic princess stories aside.

But putting in a gay character? Maybe as a subtle side character at best. Give it another ten years at least.

Yeah, Disney can be quite conservative in its movies but OTOH they were one of the earlier companies to give same-sex partner employee benefits and their company culture is extremely GLBT friendly (my partner used to work for them) and has been for a long time.

One of the earlier general commercial companies, one of the last entertainments industry companies.
