 Discrimination against LGBTQ
Purpose: Persuade Disney to incorporate LGBTQ material in
their productions in order to influence positive behavior
amidst children, in order to guarantee a compassion society.
Exigency: Recently with more culturally and racially diversed prince and princesses being
released by Disney, they still neglect a very modern concept of LGBTQ relationships.
This was written in efforts to influence the release of LGBTQ friendly film.

 Appeal to Pathos
Whether people realize it or not, a
majority of society discriminate
LGBTQ people and it is detrimental to
society.
We do not want our children to grow
up accepting the unjust treatment of
others.
As a society, we all want the
acceptance of others.
Non-heterosexuals deserve this right,
and children should be taught this
value.
Indicating that most people
unconsciously discriminate and
how its detrimental to society,
evokes a sense of guilt within the
audience because it forces readers
to internalize the negative effects on
society. Referring to the unjust
treatment of others and teaching
children the importance of
accepting others, the reader
internalizes their significant role in
modifying society.
