(Disclosure: The Daily Wire\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/videos\/introducing-dw-kids\">has<\/a>\u00a0announced plans for children\u2019s entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p>Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/disney-florida-bill-banning-sexuality-gender-discussions-for-little-kids-should-never-have-passed\">issued a statement<\/a> immediately following the law\u2019s passage, saying, \u201cFlorida\u2019s HB 1557, also known as the \u2018Don\u2019t Say Gay\u2019 bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law.\u00a0Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Florida State Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-floridas-senate-passes-bill-to-end-disneys-self-governance\/\">passed a measure<\/a> on Wednesday that would put an end to the company\u2019s ability to self-govern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe measure potentially delivers a blow to the company\u2019s operations in the state,\u201d The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/florida-senate-passes-bill-to-eliminate-disneys-special-tax-district-11650473902\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe special district, created in 1967 and known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, exempts Disney from a host of regulations and certain taxes and fees related to emergency services and road maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) explained his support for stripping Disney of its protected status, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t support special privileges in law just because a company is powerful and they\u2019ve been able to wield a lot of power.\u00a0I think what has happened is there\u2019s a lot of these special privileges that are not justifiable, but because Disney had held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
