Their choice of venue is ironic considering the Florida governor’s recent feud with Disney over the Parental Rights in Education Act. Dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, it bans instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.

In response, DeSantis asked the legislature to send him a bill stripping Disney of its self-governing status starting in June 2023.
