Members of Disney’s LGBTQ+ staff and their allies have been staging a series of walkouts, scheduled to culminate with an all-day walkout Tuesday starting at 8 a.m.
The Brief
The protests are over Disney’s response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill. Labeled by opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, it would restrict discussions in schools around sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill passed Florida’s legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign it into law.
