The Walt Disney Company said that it would help repeal Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill on Monday

On the same day the Florida Governer signed the bull into law, Disney issues a statement vowing to help repeal the controversial legislation.

The world’s largest entertainment company says the “Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law”

The controversial bill largely forbids instruction on sexuality and gender identity in most elementary school classrooms.

Disney says “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts”

For the past few weeks, Disney has been slammed for its initial reluctance to condemn the anti-LGBTQ legislation.

Disney is one of Florida’s largest employers and cast members were outraged by CEO Bob Chapek’s initial ‘neutral’ stance on the bill.

The statement posted on Monday says Disney is “dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country”
