Disney has been selling its rainbow-themed merchandise since 2018 and has been criticized for the same duration. The intensity of the backlash has only increased ever since the company openly spoke against the ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill,’ attracting more ire towards its beautiful “Pride Collection.” But while “Haters gon’ hate,” Korean K-Pop band, BTS member Taehyung aka V has established that the negative talk won’t dissuade him from rocking the collection’s amazing pride hoodies.
Taehyung recently shared pictures from his recent trip to Disneyland, revealing all the fun he had in the land of magic and eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that the BTS singer and his bodyguards were wearing matching pride hoodies.
Disney faced considerable wrath from its more vocal naysayers once again when it released its pride merch for 2023 recently, giving critics another reason to bash the company for embracing diversity and inclusivity as well as for standing by LGBTQ+ rights and against the ones striving to end them.
Well, the Mouse House can happily count Taehyung among its many, many allies as the BTS member evidently harbors no negative thoughts for Disney’s proud Pride Collection.
As previously revealed by Lisa Becket, senior vice president of global marketing at Disney, revealed that the unique items of the collection are “dreamed up and designed by members and allies of the community, for members and allies of the community.” Well, as bigoted perceptions will continue to be loud, whether Disney supports the LGBTQ+ community or not, Taehyung choosing to don the hoodie from the Pride Collection sends across a positive message.
So, in case, Taehyung flaunting that Micky Mouse pride hoodie has you planning what you would pair it with, you can hop on the Shop Disney site to add it to your collection.
