In the 1960’s when Segregation was the law. A law which if you were found guilty of violating you went to jail. Playboy opened a number of clubs around the nation. Two were in the Segregated South. When Hugh found out the club franchises were not honoring the keys of the black members. Well after the argument Hugh bought the franchises back, and operated the clubs his way. In direct violation of the law.
Hugh Hefner was ahead of his time in support of racial equality, writes Jesse Jackson.

That’s an important point to consider. Hugh Hefner intentionally set out to violate the law. All Disney did was speak out against a proposed law.
Democrats who objected to Corporations being able to donate money to political candidates argued that Corporations are not people. They were wrong. Corporations have to be people or you can’t sue them. If Ford isn’t a person as much as a company you couldn’t sue them for building a lemon.
Disney has just as much right to speak out about any issue they want to as anyone in the nation. They have just as much right as you do. But imagine your idea of fair being applied when it if Democrats again get in charge. They punish with legislation any Companies who support Republicans. Wouldn’t that be wrong? Wouldn’t you denounce it as Fascism? Or Socialism?
I see the point. And Hughes point. I believe that "all men are created equal." And that there are no caveats in that. BUT it is the governments authority to represent the people, their voters. Their voters overwhelmingly opposed what DeSantis government was allowing in the schools. And demanded change. So as it should be, the government changed the laws to help protect those parents children from what they perceived as wrong.
Desegregation was a morally just cause, if you believe that all men are created equal.
People have a right to demand better of their government. And government has an obligation to do what their voters demand.
Disney is a corporation with big pockets who got offended by this change. A change that well over 50% of the voters were demanding. Remember, the LGBT community only makes up maybe 10%. Where as the straight people make up the rest. Disney was spending big bucks. And they spend it on political stuff. Like lobbying & huge campaign fund to FL legislatures. This is where it get's thick.
Lobbying is sleazy. It's essentialy paying politicians to do something they wouldn't normally do. Otherwise, why else pay them such big bucks.
It's like the argument I have with NRA nuts. They'll bash lobbyist all day long. Except for the NRA. And my question to them, as well as the Disney LGBT supporters, why should a legislator be paid to do something they're supposed to do anyways?
So you see, this goes well beyond just voicing opposition to a bill designed to support the majority of the parents. It goes into big money, big donations and big attorneys that tried (and are still trying) to tie the state up in lawsuits.
Stay out of politics. Make movies and cartoons. Don't treat tranny kids more special than normal ones. And everything will be fine.
Society will normalize itself. It ended slavery and segregation didn't it? None of that wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the people making it happen. Be it elected officials or soldiers on the Civil War battle front. Or enough citizens saying "this ain't right."
At this moment in time, boys pretending to be girls, trans teachers inviting drag queens to prance around in front of children, and all the other bologna going on, the majority of the population is rejecting all this trans stuff. Especially with so many trans people regretting ever transitioning at all.
Lawsuits are just starting. But within 5 years, there won't be a doctor one that'll dare doing sex change. This is society correcting it's wrongs. Just like they did with slavery.
