After all, doesn't Disney stand for family fun and entertainment?
But beyond that, they made the statement that they will spend money to fight similar legislation in other states! That's right, spend SHAREHOLDER money to wage a political battle that flies in the face of what Walt Disney created. I can pretty much guarantee that if they actually spend that money there will be class action lawsuit filed within a day.

BTW, I'm not particularly in favor of overturning these old agreements as retribution, Florida could be cutting off its nose to spite its face

But I like your acquiescence that "corporations are people too"
Funny how I also mentioned that "cutting off the nose to spite the face" saying.
