They've started to donate profits from the pride merch to local charities supporting the cause. A much better strategy than Disney mouthing off.

"Disney has chosen to donate 100% of proceeds from the 2022 collection to LGBTQIA+ organizations supporting youth and families," (source)
Orgs that benefit: https://disneyconnect.com/dpep/twdc-pride-collection/?CMP=ILC-DPFY22Q3wo0512220016A
So funny that you chose not to include this as well....speaks volumes to what you actual mean.

This. Disney was already doing what Universal just started doing and they are speaking up. I would say Universal is a bit cowardly for hiding in the shadows while all this goes down.

Doesn't do any good if that laws continue to be bad and they don't stand up. Oh, also they continue to donate to anti-LGBTQ republicans.

I was responding to a member who was seemingly implying that Universal is just in it for the money.
Let me be crystal clear: Disney was extremely shortsighted in their initial handling of the response to the parental rights legislation. Like it or not, had they not put out that statement against the legislation, we would not be in this situation, and in doing so, they alienated an entire political party. Does that make the retaliatory action that followed right? No. However, two things can be true at once; had Disney chosen not to put out that statement, Reedy Creek would still exist with the landowner-elected board, and DeSantis and Co. were wrong to retaliate.
Universal, on the other hand, has taken a much calmer approach, with this being an example of their efforts to support LGBT causes while not alienating an entire political party in the process.

You describing it as "mouthing off" makes it pretty clear how you feel about free speech.

Both are exercising their rights and neither should be punished by the government

If you or anybody else chooses to spend your money elsewhere that is your/their right

Well done for BOTH Universal and Disney!
I am so glad I am not a Disney hater and a Universal lover and am a fan of BOTH and simply want BOTH to prosper so we, the tourist, benefit.
Let's hope Disney does not lose focus on their business while they fight these circular lawsuits that will last a long time.

Why would this affect focus on their business? It's a gigantic company.

Universal just wants to spread Love and good Vibes and stay out of the Disney VS. DeSantis fight.
Smart move.

No, they know they have to cater to far-right Republicans because they are building a brand new theme park. They already got a dedicated road out of it.

I'd love it if one of the reporters present had the intelligence and fortitude to ask him to specifically identify which laws RCID allowed WDW to be "exempt from" and what taxes they didn't have to pay.

If you think Disney alienated an entire political party, you are simply dead wrong. Perhaps an extreme faction of the party, but nothing even close to the entire party.

As a member of said party, I don't know a single fellow member outside of these forums that hasn't, at minimum, lost respect for or trust in Disney through this whole fiasco. That's not to say that those same people agree with DeSantis' actions (many, myself included, don't), but the Company doesn't come out squeaky clean either.
