    When did DeSantis try to ban gay people? How is this "in his face" and if it is wouldn't it also be "in you face" to the citizens of Florida?

    Disney's stock has dropped from $197.16 in March of 2021 to $96.49 today.

    Just two years a 49% drop.

    Get woke go broke.

    We live a short walk away from one of the country's gay meccas. I wonder when DeSantis will try to break that up.

    When did I say DeSantis tried to ban gay people?

    Your arguments sure seem to be based on things I have not said.

    True. He's also obsessed with blacks, immigrants in Texas, forcing women to give birth to children, ... you know... all those things that fascists hold near and dear. But this thread is about his gay obsession.

    Sure, but the government didn't go after them until April 2022

    Disagreeing with Government is heavily penalized in Florida. You have to watch your tongue if you want to stay safe. The days of free speech is in the past.

    You asked for evidence. I provided it. Now you're complaining that I provided it? The source of the opinion piece was a CNN report. Are they far right wing?

    Is that so? I thought it was social construct. Might want to get on the same page as the people pushing this nonsense.

    Who told you sexual attraction is a social construct?

    Why would the governor of FL attempt to do anything here? Talk about the straw man of the year award...

    Well, lets figure this out.
    Florida allows abortions up to 15 weeks, (more than 3 months) and allows for any abortion to save the life of the mother.
    So your claim of forcing women to give birth is fake

    DeSantis won the state by a historical 20 point spread which wouldn't be possible without overwhelming black support.
    And he currently enjoys being one of the most popular governors in the country. Which lends itself to be the number one state in the country everyone is flocking too as the flee their leftist woke states.

    And I didn't see your objection to Biden sneaking immigrant flights into Florida in the middle of the night without a single phone call to Florida, but you had a different feeling about DeSantis doing it above board and publicly. This seems a bit hypocritical, don't you think.

    So what is more fascist?
    Doing the job your supporters are actually supporting you for making your state the most popular state in the country,
    Or falsifying data and information just to make another half truth political claim?

    Um... Why would anyone disagree with this? Is there a drag queen strip tease for children? Are they showing pornographic images to those 10 and younger? If not... go for it. There is nothing in the state law that says Disney can't host a LGBQT convention at all. Or.... is this you all saying that it's illegal to say "gay" thing again?

    I see no bona fide conflict at all. DeSantis has no say or authority over a private enterprise holding such a convention.

    You want to discuss abortions in a thread about a gay rights parade?

    I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think abortions is a huge issue within the LGBTQ community.

    So, IOWs, you are suggesting that DeSanctimonious is Ultra MAGA virtue signaling 1000%? AKA feeding the ravenous?

    Why? Because he has made a career out of punishing businesses who disagree with his policies.

    I change my mind, this is now straw man of the year award nominee for today... LOL... So when say the Biden folks took away federal contracts, etc from businesses who didn't COVID cowtow.. you where were again?

    So, here's the thing. Even you don't think DeSantis would do anything about this conference. More, what justification would he have to do anything in the first place, and yet you'd still respond in this way? Laughable.

    Nope, you did.
    Then maybe you should have thought of that before you brought it into the discussion.
    Or did you just forget your own post? You seem to not know a lot of things which has been consistent in your post with half the information.
    So is this on purpose or is there some other reason you can't remember what you posted 20 minutes ago?[/QUOTE]

    It’s his MO. You’ll respond to something he says then he’ll ask why YOU brought it up:) You're not supposed to notice you see. OR, like I suspect from numerous accounts here, it’s not really an individual. Or it’s an individual posting from multiple accounts so they forget which archetype posted what.

    Orlando is a fairly gay friendly city, so I imagine if you are shopping for a city to have some gay conference, it would be on top of the list. San Francisco just doesn't work, but Orlando does.

    Anyway the subject line says Disney is defying DeSantis. How exactly are they don't that?
