DeSantis' Disney Retaliation Raises Concerns.
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has threatened to build a new state prison next to Disney's central Florida theme parks in retaliation for the company speaking out against his "don't say gay" law. DeSantis has been in an ongoing feud with Disney since March 2022 when the company's then CEO spoke out against a bill limiting discussion of sexuality and gender identity in Florida elementary school classrooms. The governor has attempted to seize power over Disney by firing its controlling board and installing a handpicked board of Republican allies. Critics have condemned DeSantis's latest proposals as a "truly unhinged display of ego".
