They are citing CEO Bob Chapek\u2019s recent letter to employees in which he explained why the company declined to take a position on the legislation, which Democrats have misleadingly called the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs we have seen time and again, corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds,\u201d Chapek said in the letter, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/business\/business-news\/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-florida-dont-say-gay-bill-response-1235105879\/\">obtained<\/a> by <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cInstead, they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame. Simply put, they can be counterproductive and undermine more effective ways to achieve change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Activists are also citing a recent article in <em>The Advocate<\/em> stating Disney continues to donate to Florida politicians who have backed the bill. In his letter this week, Chapek said the company will reassess all of its political donations. (Disney has donated to Democrat and Republican politicians in Florida for years.)<\/p>\n<p>The hashtag #BoycottDisney trended Monday as activists are seeking to coerce Disney into backing their political agenda. Among the biggest promoters of the boycott is the drag queen performer known as Miss Coco Peru, who said he declined an invitation to participate Gay Days in Disneyland in protest over the bill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cay8AqSubWt\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Some virtual protestors have claimed the bill is \u201chomophobic\u201d and promotes \u201chate.\u201d However, the legislation makes no reference to homosexuality and only prohibits sexual instruction to children in kindergarten through third grade.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Disney is supporting the Don&#8217;t Say Gay politicians responsible for this homophobic piece of legislation. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/boycottdisney?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#boycottdisney<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 John Melendez (@stutteringjohnm) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stutteringjohnm\/status\/1500895594289582083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrat operative Jon Cooper was among those blasting Disney.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As gay parents of five kids who visited <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WaltDisneyWorld?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WaltDisneyWorld<\/a> DOZENS of times, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobertCooper58?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RobertCooper58<\/a> and I \u2014 and our family \u2014 are TERRIBLY HURT by Disney\u2019s decision to keep donating to all the sponsors of Florida\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill.
