Disney suspends political contributions in Florida as CEO apologizes for silence on ‘don’t say gay’

Chapek also apologized to his employees for his “silence” over the months-long debate on the bill, which he called “not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights.”
