Disney CEO says he is disappointed with Florida bill limiting LGBTQ discussionDisney CEO Bob Chapek said he called Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to express concern about a bill limiting LGBT discussion in schools becoming law. When Disney states how disappointed it is in China’s genocide I’ll take this crap seriously. Only K thru 3rd grade. Repeat that 10 times.

Disney is just another evil corporation pretending to care.
