, Florida’s largest employer, the source of much of the state’s tourism revenue and a contributor to Mr. DeSantis’s own political ambitions. Disney’s California-based chief executive officer, Bob Chapek, has vowed to work to repeal the law after feeling pressure from employees to take a stand on the issue. The company’s Walt Disney World theme park in Orlando attracts about 20 million visitors in a normal year and employs 77,000 people.
After initially saying it would be “counterproductive” for Disney to weigh in on the new law, Mr. Chapek abruptly changed course. He issued a public apology to LGBTQ employees, and Disney said it would fight to repeal the law that “should never have passed and should never have been signed into law.”
The Disney vs. DeSantis standoff and the cruise line dust-up may reflect emerging cracks in the relationship between Republicans, long known as the pro-business party, and the corporate world, traditionally big donors to GOP hopefuls. That Mr. DeSantis would call out businesses with such heft in his own backyard shows that old habits die quite easily, at least in Florida.
