Disney is now queer poison for children. Put Disney out of business.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has signed a bill that will allow the board
he appointed to oversee Disney World to cancel agreements that Disney made within three months of the board taking over authority.

The Florida House and Senate quickly passed the legislation on Wednesday
and Thursday, respectively. DeSantis signed it into law on Friday in
response to a move by Disney to subvert the power of the five-member
board.

DeSantis confirmed he signed the bill in a letter to Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd (R).

The law is the most recent effort to exert more state control over the
Walt Disney Corp. amid the ongoing fued between the company and the
governor.

The spat began last year after Disney criticized the stateAs Parental
Rights in Education Act, which restricted the discussion of sexual
orientation and gender identity in K-12 public schools and has been
denounced as the oDonAt Say Gayo law by opponents.

After Disney vowed to work to try to repeal the law and reiterated its
support for the LGBTQ community, DeSantis took action to take away special status that Disney had since the 1960s that effectively gave it self-
governing power over the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

DeSantis in response signed legislation to replace Reedy Creek with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, but Disney secretly signed an agreement shortly before the new board took control that gave Disney developmental authority over its park.

The board voted to declare that agreement void in response, leading Disney
to sue DeSantis, alleging that he has harmed the companyAs business
operations and is violating the companyAs constitutional rights to free speech.

The law will allow the board to nullify the agreement that Disney made, reasserting its authority.

The legislation states that the board shall review any development
agreements previously made within four months of taking office. The
subsection establishing the boardAs authority to review these agreements
is set to expire in July 2028 unless it is extended.

Screw Disney - they stepped outside their lane and got involved in state matters that have nothing to do with their function as an entertainment company. They should have stuck to selling overpriced pretzels and gift shop baubles made in foreign sweatshops, maybe consider paying their employees a better wage instead of being an advocate for groomers.
