Disney sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleging his administration’s takeover of its theme park district is part of “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” for its opposition to a law barring discussion of homosexuality in schools. | AFP

Disney attracted the governor’s ire last year after it criticized a law banning school lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity.
