Also, don't forget that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people-----and through their elected representatives the people of Florida have spoken. It's simply that certain groups don't like what they said. Who was it that famously quipped "elections have consequences"? Oh, yeah, can't mention it. But Disney's "freedom of speech" has consequences as well, just in this case I agree with you the retribution was too Draconian.
I agree that it was too Draconian. But, much worse than that is that now many unintended consequences are rearing their ugly head. Floridians will be further split apart. And the monetary costs to the state could be very high. Certainly, what is left of Florida's reputation will be toast!
