Walt Disney Co.’s (NYSE:DIS) response to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law is continuing to make waves, with former Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger offering a new round of opposition to the legislation while conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has offered a financial update on his efforts to challenge the production company with his own slate of family-friendly entertainment.
The Return Of Iger: The legislation, House Bill 1557, is officially called the “Parental Rights in Education” bill but has become branded "Don't Say Gay" by its opponents. The legislation prohibits teaching classes related to gender identity or sexual orientation for students in kindergarten through third grade. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill on Monday, and the new law takes effect July 1.
