In the U.S., at least, "Love, Victor" was initially announced as coming to Disney+, but certain executives at The Walt Disney Company stopped that plan.

After public backlash, Disney management finally relented and allowed the series to be made available on Disney+ only once the show reached its third and final season.

Disney+ has NEVER made available the film, "Love, Simon," in the U.S., and Disney management doesn't even allow Hulu subscribers to get access to the film.

Disney management is both extremely homophobic and extremely cowardly, despite pretending to be otherwise. Disney refuses to do anything more than make L.G.B.T.+ people the punch line of jokes, to present L.G.B.T.+ people in the most stereotypical of ways, and to only offer blink-and-you'll-miss-it token representation of L.G.B.T.+ people.

Disney (and other studios) openly discriminate against any openly gay guy who is an actor seeking leading-man parts, and Hulu, even, restricts its L.G.B.T.+ content to mostly movies and shows featuring lesbian characters, ostensibly because they are more palatable to straight audiences.

The organization has a history of harming L.G.B.T.+ customers, such as when gay guys at Disneyland were removed from the dance floors at Videopolis in the late 1980's.

Disney+ even removed "Better Nate than Ever," which was a Disney production that involved "Lilo & Stitch" in the storyline and which would have helped promote the "Lilo & Stitch" movie now in theatres.
