The reason no one mentioned them is there has never been a complaint from any of ghe 60 million visitors per year about their 5 year olds being indoctrinated, just a binch of old gexzers with no 5 year olds.

And no evidence provided supporting the claims

So it's a business decision ? I thought they were just falling in line with the rest of the media in pushing their woke agenda.

Florida does not have state income tax, a big part of the reason is Disney. They bring in 50 million tourists per year. They pay over a billion in income tax per year. They bring in over $75 billion in tourist revenue per year. They employ over 40,000 central Florida residents.

But, they committed a sin, by stating that they support thousands of employees and millions of guests, and worst of all they did it publicly.

So much for fee speech.

I hope they don’t move out of the state, I kind of like not paying state income tax.

It’s a business, lose 1/2 of those who agree or disagree. Should keep quiet and take care of business. Mess with the bull, get the horns.

NOBODY claimed Disney was trying to "indoctrinate" 5 year old children when they visit the park. NOBODY. What they did was side with a very small percentage of the population by supporting the LGBTQXYZ community in their opposition to a Florida LAW that prohibited teachers from teaching sexuality to 5-8 year olds. As a publicly traded corporation with a fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders, this is clearly a foray well outside the parameters of enhancing their profitability, and may well alienate the parents of small children who otherwise might spend money at Disney or on their products. It has nothing to do with "freedom of speech". Someone on the other thread asked "what should a teacher do if a 6 year old student asked why little Johnny has two daddies?". The answer is simple----that's not for your teacher to answer, ask your parents

Let's be honest here.

They were not "supporting thousands of employees and millions of guests" They were making a political statement and cow-towing to a very small minority of ________(fill in the blank) that were opposed to a law that prohibited teaching CHILDREN in K-3 (5-8 year olds) about certain sexual behaviors. Of course, those that engage in those behaviors want them to be accepted as normal even by 5 year olds.

So like the spokesperson for the governor's office stated this morning--"If you poke the hornet's nest. sometimes you get stung"

Thank you, !!!!

Oh, okay, I didn't get that email. Thankyou.

Could you provide me with any information about how many of the children of the 500 million guests in the past 10 years have been indoctrinated? How many of their parent filed complaints?

Far I I can tell it NEVER happened until about 2 weeks ago, when DeSantis said something. Then all of a sudden millions of children are being put at risk.

Do you have ANY idea how silly that sounds

Hmm, okay, so here is a right leaning media, so much for NO ONE is saying Disney is pushing.

Please try to keep your stories straight.

Disney is boasting about pushing 'gender theory' to kids

The Villages is a special purpose district, however we are NOT affected by the proposal that would end Disney special status.

So, I went back 5 posts, and didn't see a single post stating how many complaints there have been against Disney prior to Don't Say Gay.

Disney move out of state? You can't be serious - they know what side their bread is buttered on. WDW was open while Disneyland was closed for a year or more.

Totally agree. Our Governor does not take action unless he is 100% positive it will not negatively impact FL taxpayers. I'm very surprised Village Tkr posted the earlier post and only quoted MSN and Democrats in his post. Always get 2 sides of the story and then form your opinion. IMO, Disney should not get special treatment when most others do not.

I believe that Facebook and Twitter need to be constrained by an entity like the FCC. There is NO good reason for internet Companies to have special privileges that a Television station does NOT have.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We're Grooming Your Children

I noticed there was NO WAY for us to answer the things said about Disney and our Governor De Santis. I'm upset about that and chose to write where I could. We have one of the BEST STAND UP Governors we've had in some time!!!!!!!!!!! As for Disney, I am sure this is NOT what Mr. Disney had in mind for HIS park and must be rolling over in his grave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
