Disney roasted over response to Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

Yesterday, a protest broke out in front of Walt Disney World Resort demanding that the company respond to Florida's proposed "Don't Say Gay" bill. Needless to say, this wasn't enough from the company that has donated to every single sponsor and co-sponsor of the "Don't Say Gay" bill. To be fair, Disney donates to just about every Florida politician as a lever to exert their influence in Tallahassee. It's part of a slate of Republican-pushed "transparency" laws that add up to a hyper-policing of what is taught in Florida schools and open educators up to lawsuits for teaching thornier subjects. In the wake of all this, Disney responding with "look out for our gay character cameos" landed with a huge thud.
