Disney CEO Suspends Florida Political Donations over LGBT Ed Bill

Disney will not make political donations in the state of Florida pending a review, and oppose legislation modeled after the state’s Parental Rights in Education bill in other states, CEO Bob Chapek said in a letter to employees on Friday.

“Thank you to all who have reached out to me sharing your pain, frustration and sadness over the company’s response to the Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill,” Chapek wrote in the letter, which was posted on Disney’s website. “You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”
