The Walt Disney Company faces growing calls to condemn Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation following reports of company donations to state legislators who supported a measure that critics argue will marginalise LGBT+ students and families.
The Independent’s review of state campaign finance records found that several Disney entities donated tens of thousands of dollars to Florida legislators who supported the bill, including at least $4,000 to the 2022 re-election campaigns for the bill’s chief sponsors, state Representative Joe Harding and state Senator Dennis Baxley.
