Thanks for the info. Certainly sounds good.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this plays out over the next several years.
I am sick of hearing how this is payback for the leftist perv activism of Disney. It is a step in fixing what should never have happened to begin with. Disney should never have had all of these special exemptions and powers. I have said that for better than 40 years.
