is pausing all political donations in Florida after an employee outcry over legislation that would limit discussion of LGBTQ issues in schools, Chief Executive Bob Chapek said in a memo to staff on Friday.
Disney has been under fire for failing to take a public stand against the measure, which opponents of the legislation say will harm the lesbian, gay, transgender and queer community. The company employs more than 65,000 people at the sprawling Walt Disney World resort in Orlando."Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was," Chapek wrote.

"I missed the mark in this case," he wrote to employees. "But am an ally you can count on — and I will be an outspoken champion for the protections, visibility, and opportunity you deserve."
