Disney Faces Backlash in Florida Amid ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Controversy

DIS -1.42% ▼ Chief Executive Bob Chapek explained his decision to stay silent on Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, known by its opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, he told employees in a March letter that he didn’t want Disney Co. DIS -1.42% ▼ to become a “political football.”
