spoke out in opposition of the legislation. Chapek said that the company had originally intended not to speak on the matter publicly, stating they thought they “could be more effective working behind-the-scenes, engaging directly with lawmakers.”He also stated that he’d spoken with DeSantis “to express our disappointment and concern that if the legislation becomes law, it could be used to unfairly target gay, lesbian, non-binary and transgender kids and families.”This measured but firm pushback to the governor’s queerphobic legislation earned the company a spot atop his personal sh*t-list.
He’s since gone after the Walt Disney World Resort residing in his state — now, to an unfortunately effective end.The governor has taken to pretending whole swaths of people don’t exist.DeSantis’ administration went after the body presiding over the resort, the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
