There is no mention of obligation to speak out or venture into a political stance favoring a small minority that objects to a law that an overwhelming majority of people favor. It is NOT a free speech issue, it is NOT a democratic issue, it is simply the scope of what a publicly held corporation should and should not be involved in.

I don't think you are looking deep enough into their mission statement. To do any of the goals listed above requires top level creative and satisfied employees. Especially in the entertainment industry, you will not be able to hire those people by standing by and allow such hateful and misguided actions to be enacted without objecting.
The entertainment arm of Disney is nothing without its staff, and those folks have a lot of options right now - Florida not being very high on their list.
