Disney employees stage protests, demand more LGBTQ support.

RELATED'Don't Say Gay' billsWhat similar measures mean for LGBTQ youth

Disney employees around the country are calling on their company to live up to its expressed ideals when it comes to showing support for LGBTQ employees following The Walt Disney Company's response to what critics have called Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.

Ron DeSantis, the Parental Rights in Education bill would restrict classroom discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grades, prohibiting instruction on it through third grade in public schools. DeSantis said he plans to sign the bill soon and accused Disney of painting false narratives around the legislation.
