Here’s how this entire lawsuit came about.
How This Lawsuit Debacle First Started
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been forging battles left and right ever since Disney took a political stance due to a bill passing in Florida that does not allow the state to teach LGBTQ+ content to kindergarten through third-grade children in elementary schools.
Ever since then, it’s been one battle after another between Disney, Reedy Creek, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
As the Florida Governor signs the bill, we now wait to verify whether or not this new bill will have any significant negative impacts on The Walt Disney Company.
Both sides have filed their versions of lawsuits that will see the light of day in court over the next six months. The Florida governor has been mass scrutinized by his constituents and Disney fane. Some even petitioned to ban DeSantis from WDW.
