Disney's Pride Nite Takes Center Stage Amid DeSantis' Threats and Bill Stripping Protections.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced a new bill to rein in Disney's theme parks, following the company's announcement of its first-ever event to celebrate Pride Month. DeSantis had previously suffered a major loss in his efforts to punish Disney for being "woke" and publicly opposed his "Don't Say Gay" law, which prevents teachers from talking about LGBTQ+ issues or people. The bill would require new inspections of Walt Disney World rides and the monorail connecting its theme parks and hotels, and the new state board could convert land in and around the Orlando theme parks into a state park, a competing amusement park, or a state prison.
