The Walt Disney Company is “reassessing” its political donations in the wake of reports that the company financially backed chief sponsors behind widely critcised legislation in Florida that could forcibly “out” LGBT+ students and ban discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in schools.
“While we have not given money to any politician based on this issue, we have contributed to both Republican and Democrat legislators who have subsequently taken positions on both sides of the legislation,” CEO Bob Chapek said in a staff memo on 7 March.
