Disney Has Finally Had It With Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill

That took a long time. Disney just released a full statement condemning Florida after weeks of back and forth between the company and its employees.

The "Don't Say Gay" bill should never have been signed into law. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.

It's not clear what the company will do to repeal or strike down the legislature. Disney finally said something strong and assertive about the legislation, which banned teachers from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity in school.

Disney is one of the biggest employers in the state of Florida with about 75,000 employees. As news of the bill began to break earlier this year, CEO Bob Chapek refused to condemn or speak out about it publicly. That changed in recent weeks as the entire company turned on him in a very public way, and this statement is the first step in Disney using its considerable resources and powers to battle a bill that is incredibly harmful towards the LGBTQIA+ community.
