You crow about Disney supposedly hosting a major queer conference, but you silly ol' cow ... Disney has been having queer days and events for DECADES, now. This is nothing new. And what about the significant queer communities in Miami Beach and Key West? DeSantis has never attacked anyone for being homosexual. Taking away Disney's special privileges didn't have anything to do with homosexuals ... it had everything to do with lying about the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act and vowing to use its privileged position in the state to influence an election. clo ... if you ever want to quit being such a pathetic fool, you need to educate yourself before foaming at the mouth, dearie.
The Daily Beast tries to hit DeSantis with a Disney LGBT+ story but misses the mark

The Daily Beast had an article implying that Disney planning an LGBTQ+ conference is a move in direct defiance of Governor Ron DeSantis and people took to Twitter to educate them.
First of all, Disney has had PRIDE and other days for the LGBTQ+ community for years and it has never been an issue.
Second of all, DeSantis’s issue with Disney was not that they were LGBTQ+ friendly, his issue was they wanted to play politics and try to sway an election so he said he did not want to give them special protections by the state any longer.
It does not now nor did it ever have anything to do with LGBTQ+ people or days set aside for them.
Now let us watch as people on Twitter set this record straight.
The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) ~ For the next two years, the “largest LGBT+ conference in the world” will be hosted at Walt Disney World in central Florida, in direct defiance of DeSantis’ crusade to punish the company for its pro-LGBT stances.

Big Ed Florida Man (@Falconeddie1) ~ I guess Disney won't be packing up and moving then? Keith Olbermann is going to be beside himself.
Poor Keith. He is gonna be super sad about this, his plan to set them up in Puerto Rico is going down the drain.
Federalist Musket (@Patriot_Musket) ~ And if he was as big a threat to LGBT people as you all say he is they wouldn’t be doing this.
Correct. If DeSantis were the return of Hitler, Disney would NEVER set up a conference for people to gather in one spot where he would be able to hurt them.
Joshua Trujillo (@yeshuatrujillo) ~ "We're hosting an LGBT+ conference in Florida!"
BINGO.
Brad Slager: Buying Acceptance Speeches on eBay (@MartiniShark) ~ There is nothing in the form of a law in Florida preventing this, so there is nothing for the company to be in “defiance” of by hosting. Disney has always had Pride events.
Correct! No laws, nothing prevents any of the things they are proposing.
TANSTAAFL6817 (@tanstaafl6817) ~ "DeSantis’ crusade to punish the company for its pro-LGBT stances." Really? When did this start?
William Belcher (@EdB_Ohio) ~ "Punish the company for its pro-LGBT stances"?
RIght? The reason they are asking when it started is because it NEVER started.
RBe (@RBPundit) ~ But ... Disney was punished for lying about a law and vowing to use their special relationship with the state to influence an election. You do know Miami Beach still exists, right?
Nice concise explanation. We love it and YES Miami Beach exists and proves The Daily Beast wrong at every turn.
Brett (@Texan__Pride) ~ "We will spend our money in their state economy to show them."
The RIGHT Bartender (@KCbartendermike) ~ Worth million$$$$ to Florida’s economy. Well done!
Yessssssssss ... the DeSantis Administration and the State of Florida says ...
PERFECT! If Disney were trying to hurt DeSantis, making sure that people visit the state and spend money is a really bad way to go about it.
Disney can hold any kind of special events they wish to hold, DeSantis is not trying to stop it and he will probably love the extra money coming into the state!
