I strongly oppose the #DontSayGay bill in Florida. I hope my friends and colleagues within the Disney family will join me in saying so publicly.

Disney's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill Stance Disrespects an Instrumental Figure

Queer icon Howard Ashman transformed Disney—but in light of Florida's recent anti-LGBTQ legislation, the company's inaction speaks volumes on his legacy.
