Woke Walt Disney Company on Florida So-Called 'Don’t Say Gay' Bill: 'Our Goal as a Company Is for This Law to Be Repealed by the Legislature or Struck down in the Courts'
Disney has vowed to help have Florida’s HB 1557 law, which is known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, repealed.
The company’s public opposition to the new law comes after CEO Bob Chapek was criticized for not speaking up sooner and with more fervor ahead of the bill passing the Florida Senate.
The company has already vowed to donate $5 million to organizations that work to protect LGTBQ+ rights and has begun speaking to employees in town hall meetings about how it can better serve this community.
