Newsom asks Disney to relocate jobs back to California over Florida LGBTQ bill [Breaking]
In just a few short words, Gov. Gavin Newsom asked the Walt Disney Co. to reconsider its plans to relocate 2,000 jobs from Southern California to a new campus in Florida.“Disney, the door is open to bring those jobs back to California — the state that actually represents the values of your workers.”
“We are writing because we are disappointed, hurt, afraid, and angry,” said the statement attributed to the LGBTQ employees of Pixar and their allies. “In regards to Disney’s financial involvement with legislators behind the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, we hoped that our company would show up for us. But it didn’t.”
“I missed the mark in this case but am an ally you can count on — and I will be an outspoken champion for the protections, visibility, and opportunity you deserve.”
