Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Bob Chapek reversed course on his policy of staying out of politics and stepped into the debate over a controversial education bill in Florida that critics say targets LGBTQ youth.
After saying publicly on Monday he didn’t want to weigh in on politics, Chapek said at the company’s annual meeting Wednesday that he had told Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis he was concerned about the bill’s potential consequences for LGBTQ children. Chapek also is pledging to spend $5 million on contributions to LGBTQ causes.
