After Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s company-wide email regarding Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, it was first on everyone’s mind during today’s shareholder Q&A. Chapek kicked off the portion with a lengthy statement, assuring that a meeting with Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is happening.He also pledged that Disney as a whole will be signing the Human Rights agreement, as well as a $5 million pledge to the organization.
