TL;DR Summary

Disney has sued Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of illegally using the state government to punish the company for voicing an opinion that should be protected by free-speech rights. The lawsuit aims to protect Disney World's employees, guests, and developers from "retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials." The skirmish began last year after Disney criticized a Florida measure banning classroom discussion of sexuality and gender identity with younger children. DeSantis repeatedly attacked "woke Disney" in public remarks.
