A number of Disney employees are calling for the company to live up to its expressed ideals when it comes to showing support for LGBTQ employees following the company’s response to what’s been called Florida’s «Don’t Say Gay» bill.
«We want action», said Nicholas Maldonado, an Orlando-area Disney employee who had always loved working for the company but now won’t even watch Disney+.
Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek said Disney would pause political donations in Florida amid a restructuring of the framework for such giving, but walkout organisers and supporters want the company to permanently cut off donations to lawmakers who backed the bill, usatoday.com reports.
They’re staging a daylong walkout Tuesday with a list of demands for Disney.
