Let me be clear: I support the law 100%.
If Disney throws money at repealing the law, then they have jumped ass-deep into the world of politics and, as such, I believe should lose any economic considerations they get courtesy of the State.
The State needs to be VERY fucking careful about avoiding the optics of State government punishing a company for expressing an opinion. Punishing them before Disney donates a single dime to the cause could be devastating, regardless of what DeSantis thinks Disney's "intent" is. If they get punished, and then don't contribute a dime, DeSantis will come out looking very, very bad...
