Disney's public opposition to the new law comes after CEO Bob Chapek was criticized for not speaking up sooner and with more fervor ahead of the bill passing through the Florida Senate. Employees staged a walkout in protest of the company's lackluster initial response and Disney has been rushing to make amends with its staff and the LGBTQA+ community ever since.
Pixar employees, in particular, have been vocal in recent weeks, asking the company to"take a decisive public stand" against the legislation and others like it. The company paused donations in Florida earlier this month and said it would reevaluate its strategy for advocacy going forward.
