Quote of quotes:
“I’m sick of Republicans losing,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said.

Maybe don’t pick fights with a megacorp with a large proportion of the best litigators in the world in the world on retainer… over deeply unpopular culture war bullshit…. When thst megacorp is one of your state’s top employers and revenue-generators…,
"Megacorps" shouldn't be a thing, and corporations should be subordinate to governments. Just not DeSantis.
It's the rare example where amoral capitalistic greed can actually lead to a more morally defensible position than the actively horrible ideology against which it is compared. Disney doesn't give a fuck about any human being's particular right to be any version of themselves one way or the other, but they do care about how much money they can make off of the largest swathe of people, and they've done the math and figured they make more money being more accepting than the Republican party.
It is, in fact, a case in which "We believe nothing Lebowski!" is actually preferable to "At least it's an ethos!"
That's a great analogy via movie quotes if I've ever seen one! Need to rewatch that movie... :)
You're about to be mugged, when suddenly, the mugger is swept up by a tornado! "What a relief!", you think, as you float 100 feet up into the air.
