Disney CEO Bob Chapek has been caught in a media firestorm for his handling of Disney’s response to Florida’s so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek got down on bended knee and offered a «mea culpa» in an email to the company’s LGBTQ community asking forgiveness for not standing up strongly enough against Florida’s «Don’t Say Gay» bill and pledging allegiance in the fight for equal rights.

«It is clear that this is not just an issue about a bill in Florida, but instead yet another challenge to basic human rights», Chapek wrote in an email addressed to the company’s LGBTQ community. «You needed me to be a stronger ally in the fight for equal rights and I let you down. I am sorry», ocregister.com reports.
