Ron DeSantis and other Republicans. The company opposed the state\u2019s Parental Rights in Education bill, legislation prohibiting discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms with young children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a Fox News interview in late March, DeSantis responded to Disney\u2019s criticism of the bill. \u201c[T]his is a real bill that empowers parents, it protects our kids. And for a company like Disney to say that this bill should have never passed \u2026 for them to say that them as a California-based company are going to work to take those California values and overturn a law that was duly enacted and, as you said, supported by a strong majority of Floridians, they don\u2019t run this state. They will never run this state as long as I\u2019m governor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In late April, DeSantis signed another bill stripping Disney of its special privileges that allowed the company to govern its land. <\/span><span>\u201cI\u2019m just not comfortable having that type of agenda get special treatment in my state,\u201d DeSantis said when discussing the bill, The Daily Wire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-desantis-signs-bills-into-law-that-strips-disney-of-special-powers-blocks-crt-in-schools\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During a Disney all-hands meeting in March, a Disney executive producer told employees that the company welcomed her \u201cnot-at-all secret gay agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019re turning it around,\u201d Latoya Raveaneau said in reference to Disney\u2019s leadership. \u201c[A]nd then all that momentum that I felt, that sense of \u2018I don\u2019t have to be afraid, let\u2019s have these two characters kiss in the background\u2026wherever I could, I was basically adding queerness to the show, if you see anything queer in the show, \u2018The Proud Family,\u2019 nobody would stop me and nobody was trying to stop me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-j7qwjs\">\n<div id=\"post-body-text\">\n<div class=\"e1nzmkc90 css-1s0j25g\">\n<p><em>(Disclosure: The Daily Wire has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/videos\/introducing-dw-kids\">announced plans<\/a> for kids entertainment content.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disney launched a new LGBTQ \u201cpride collection\u201d clothing line for children on Monday, including several rainbow-colored t-shirts.\u00a0\u201cThe Disney Pride Collection was created by LGBTQIA+ employees and allies at The Walt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":1483594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1479761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1479761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1479761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1479761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1483594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1479761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1479761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1479761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
