Following backlash online and across the industry for his reluctance to speak out against Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay Bill,’ Walt Disney CEO Bob Chapek concluded Disney’s annual shareholder meeting today by finally speaking on the subject publicly.
“While we have been strong supporters of the community for decades, I understand that many are upset that we did not speak out against the bill,” Chapek said. “We were opposed to the bill from the outset, but we chose not to take a public position on it because we thought we could be more effective working behind the scenes working with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.”
