Disney vs. DeSantis: Why the Florida governor may get caught in his own mousetrap
There’s a dark cloud hovering over Walt Disney World, the self-styled Most Magical Place on Earth.
That’s not the only trouble involving DeSantis, who has cast himself and his state as the protector and fortress of personal freedoms in the United States., who grew up next to the Toronto Blue Jays’ spring training stadium in Dunedin, was actually married at the Disney resort in 2009. But a Walt Disney Corp. lawsuit seeking to put an end to DeSantis’s “targeted campaign of government retaliation” against the company must surely be seen as a divorce.
The origins of DeSantis’s dispute with the company go back a year, to the passage of what’s known as the “Don’t-Say-Gay” law, a bill that bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity outright before the third grade and permits it only in “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” terms for older students.
