Now it is autumn and Variety said, “Six months after the Don’t Say Gay [Parental Rights in Education] controversy, Disney has clearly been weakened by the fight while DeSantis’ profile as a conservative culture warrior has only grown. DeSantis has moved on to new controversies that have captured national attention, most recently shipping immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

“But he has also kept up a steady drumbeat on LGBTQ issues. His administration has taken aim at youth who are gender transitioning, eliminating coverage for gender-affirming care for all ages in Medicaid, and investigating a drag brunch. And Disney, which prides itself on its support for the LGBTQ community, has stayed silent. The company is still engaged in a low-key way in Florida politics – underwriting organizations like Equality Florida – but has said almost nothing in public about Florida politics since vowing in April to help overturn the education law.”

Mike Kahane of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation organized a protest at Disney World in March.

He told Variety, “Disney for whatever reason has gone quiet. I would speculate it has something to do with them trying to work out this bigger issue, which could have huge economic consequences to them.”
