The move was universally opposed by Democrats, and is the latest chapter in a confrontation between Disney and Florida Republicans. Governor DeSantis pushed for the legislation after Disney opposed the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law.

  1. Disney is unadulterated pap that offer nothing to children. It's hollow meaningless tripe.

  2. I've know people that have worked there and said it's horrible. The make a million a second and pay their employees jack 💩. And jack left town.

  3. Disney moving to GA near or replacing six flags….

  4. I'm all for Disney packing the mouse and moving out of state… preferably to my state… with all its jobs…

  5. Push woke agenda and brag about indoctrination of kids. This was the only way this could end and I'm glad a big corporation is being brought down a peg.

    They wanna jump in culture war, they better be prepared for consequences….they will be far worse than mean tweets. Hope Florida finds good use for the $.

  6. I can't believe the left wing child grooming Liberals that are ok with Sexually indoctrinating Children…. What did this world come to?

  7. No wonders people all over the world think Americans are stupid, the comment mentioning Disney pack up and leave are the most stupidest comment I seen today. How the heck do you move freaking small town with building and insfratructure that will take years a millions of dollars to rebuilt.

  8. This is so sad. Desantis is the devil in disguise. A politically motivated crybaby.

  9. if I was Disney I would move relocate or sue the Republicans that are slandering the reputation with threats with the explicit intent to cause financial loss. Political attention discrediting others to avoid addressing Florida"s voter affiliation subversions by republican supporters. Shamful. In my opinion

  10. Democrats are against corporations, right? Huge win

  11. We could take Disneyland by force and use it as training grounds for the revolution

  12. If Disney closes up shop and leaves Florida at least it will make housing and apartments cheaper.

  13. It is funny how Comcast NBC is all of a sudden very informative and unbiased about this bill when this legislation will favour them greatly in Orlando.

  14. I'm sorry, I support LGBT rights, but the bill was right to limit these types of discussions with Kindergarten kids. As a parent I don't want a teacher talking to a six year old about these complex topics. That's for parents to decide.

  15. Well… Eisner started this, now baldy will finish the job. Integrating politics and “adult” themes into Disney was a losing approach to get more sales. The Millenials are going to make them burn, just as they have burned countless others with mental illness. Too bad. Sad to have to see the fall of the mouse. It was once an interesting company that did some things right. Now its just a greedy monster that makes its former self look like an innocent flower. Farewell Disney. Farewell. No more standards, no more dreams. The nightmare now begins.

  16. Democrats: "the rich should pay"
    Also democrats: "this multi billion dollars company should keep his tax exeptions, these poor billionaires!"

  17. Disney don't worry the family with children will support you. Republicans and Democratics and Independents families it is now time for us to stand up to Florida..for trying change Disney.. Disney then all monies you make keep you money and don't give one dime to help DaSantis and FL.
    Republicans vote him DaSantis out NOW he to me is hurting your State and the families that come to a place where they is no political agenda for anyone. Republicans stand up in Florida and VOTE him and the Legislation as well VOTE out NOW…you can do better with a different party. Vote Democratics just try it ..I assure you I think it will be better your state and your families. Try it VOTE Democratics and Independents.. DaSantis had got to go NOW in my opinion.

  18. Good. disney has been co-opted by pedophiles and perverts that want to peddle homosexuality to little kids, they shouldn't have any authority or receive any tax breaks.

  19. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
    DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
