Disney Employees Walk Out in Protest over CEO’s Response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill

HeadlineMar 16, 2022

Disney workers are staging a series of walkouts after CEO Bob Chapek initially refused to condemn Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay legislation and for donating to politicians who back the measure, which bans discussions of sexuality and gender identity in schools. The virtual and in-person walkouts were organized by LGBTQ employees of Disney, who are calling for the company to take action to protect workers in Florida from the legislation.
