Disney to pause Florida political donations over law limiting LGBTQ discussion

“Speaking to you, reading your messages, and meeting with you have helped me better understand how painful our silence was,” Chapek wrote. “It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights. You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry.”

Chapek pledged to increase support for advocacy groups to combat similar legislation in other states. It also is re-examining its political giving.
