The employees marched and chanted in front of Disney’s Burbank, California, headquarters, according to a person who was present. Another gathering was planned at a public park nearby, with speeches and a group collecting inspirational messages to send to LGBTQ families in Florida.
Chief Executive Officer Bob Chapek sparked the controversy this month when he said Disney wouldn’t take a public position on a Florida bill that would bar schools from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity with students from kindergarten to third grade. Disney has been a leader in advancing LGBTQ causes in Hollywood over the years, making the decision especially noteworthy.
