. The ex-CEO initially stayed silent on the law — which bans teachers from discussing LGBTQ topics like sexual orientation or gender identity with younger students – in a move that enraged left-leaning Disney employees and triggered large-scale protests.
After weeks of internal pressure Chapek later reversed course and ripped the Republican-backed legislation, prompting DeSantis and his allies to pull its special tax status.At the time, DeSantis said Chapek had “crossed the line” by publicly weighing in on a political matter. Prior to that decision, Disney enjoyed near autonomy over the Reedy Creek district and maintained control over local police and fire departments as well as infrastructure management. Critics argued the decision to end Disney’s special tax status would unfairly transfer a massive tax burden to state residents.Iger was publicly critical of the “Don’t Say Gay” law when it was enacted, but the FT noted he has remained silent on the situation since resuming duties as CEO.
The FT quoted an “influential figure in Florida state politics” as saying that Iger’s initial message on the matter was “a good olive branch message to Disney employees and the state of Florida.”
