Even a surly junk yard dog knows better than to bite he hand that feeds him. Disney Corp may soon learn that lesson. Disney has got themselves into a pissing contest with the state of Florida over a parental rights bill that sent the woke mob into a tizzy. Disney's statement:
“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ [sic] bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law,” Disney said in a statement. “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”
Disney needs to stay in their lane. It is one thing to tacitly support a thing, it's another to actively get in a fight with a state that extends some fairly lucrative tax benefits Disney is favored in some old legislation that extended some tax and governance benefits, What the legislature gives, the legislature can take away.
Disney should carefully consider how the loss of he Reedy Creek Improvement District may affect their bottom line.

They've been doing a balance act for years, quietly encouraging certain positions while appealing to everyone.
This open push for one group over all others changes that, narrowing their appeal. It can only hurt their bottom line; the remaining question is by how much.
Getting more popcorn...
