Disney pressured into Florida gay rights declarations
Feature analysis by Guardian as Disney CEO apologises, promises to champion LGBTQ+ rights and pauses all donations to Florida politicians. Article notes the history of Disney censorship, often at the story stage.
Earlier Guardian report on the "don't say gay" bill - which has uncanny parallels with Thatcher's notorious clause 28 bar on teachers or schools even mentioning homosexually ... in the EIGHTIES.
