Disney Employees Walk Out in Protest over CEO's Response to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" Bill
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disney workers are staging a series of walkouts after CEO Bob Chapek
initially refused to condemn Florida's so-called Don't Say Gay
legislation and for donating to politicians who back the measure, which
bans discussions of sexuality and gender identity in schools. The
virtual and in-person walkouts were organized by LGBTQ employees of
Disney, who are calling for the company to take action to protect
workers in Florida from the legislation.
