Disney is under fire for supporting the lawmakers behind Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill as well as alleged censorship within the company.
In the news the last few days, we’ve watched as Disney has been called out for donating to lawmakers behind the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida and flip-flopping among public pressure. Their CEO, Bob Chapek, told shareholders during a meeting Wednesday that they were against the bill “from the outset, but we chose not to take a public position on it because we thought we could be more effective working behind-the-scenes, engaging directly with lawmakers—on both sides of the aisle.”
But actions speak louder than words, and, as mentioned, the company did donate funds to lawmakers behind it before showing any public opposition to the bill.
