Disney CEO apologizes to LGBTQ employees, halts political donations in Florida
Disney CEO Bob Chapek apologized to LGBTQ employees over the company’s response on Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, Variety reported Friday. Over the past week, Disney has been criticized for taking a neutral stance toward the controversial bill in emails with employees and for making political donations to the bill’s supporters. Prominent Disney creators, like The Owl House creator Dana Terrace, and the Animation Guild released statements condemning Disney’s inaction. Disney’s employees, too, criticized the company internally.
