Nearly 60 employees gathered after the walkout and voiced their dismay over the recent "Don't Say Gay" bill passed by the FL state legislature.

The bill places strict limits upon FL teachers regarding what they can say about gender and sexuality in classrooms. The vague wording of the bill has led to national criticism about its intentions and how it puts educators at risk.

A lot of people enjoy working for Disney.

And a lot of people are upset that the company they love is harming the subset of employees and their community in Florida, Taylor White, Technical Director at Disney Television, via Reuters.

Disney employees involved in the walkout are demanding that the company cease contributions to politicians who support the bill.

They also demand an end to Disney construction in FL until the measure has been repealed.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek received harsh criticism for failing to immediately speak out against the bill.

He has since apologized for his hesitation.

We know how important this issue is for our LGBTQ+ employees, their families and allies, we respect our colleagues’ right to express their views, Disney Spokesperson, via Reuters.

And we pledge our ongoing support of the LGBTQ+ community in the fight for equal rights, Disney Spokesperson, via Reuters.
