Andrew Rodriguez-Triana is stuck in a love-hate relationship with the House of Mouse.

He loves Disney movies and characters, of course, but what he loves most is the parks. Growing up, his family spent every vacation at the parks, and hes been a passholder at Walt Disney World in Florida for 10 years.

Disney as a place has always felt like home, and what place is safer than your own home? the theater performer told HuffPost.

He loves the friendly Cast Members the employees who make magic happen at both Disney World and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

What Rodriguez-Triana doesnt love is what he sees as the companys spotty record on supporting LGBTQ+ rights. He was reminded of that last week when Disney botched its response to the Florida Legislature passing the Dont Say Gay bill, a piece of legislation that bars classroom conversations on gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten to third grade. (The company is a huge Florida employer, with tens of thousands of workers at the Walt Disney World theme park.)
