The Human Rights Campaign is not taking money from Disney anymore. The LGBTQ+ organization made an announcement on Wednesday (March 9) in response to CEO Bob Chapek‘s comments at a shareholder meeting regarding Florida’s House Bill 1557, referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” bill, which would censor teachers from talking about LGBTQ+ issues like gender identity until after third grade.
