I'm going to take a wild guess that the I stands for incel (involuntary celibate) and the A stands for autonomous (solo practitioner).

Those two groups would most likely account for the bulk of the membership in the overall movement. But only if stereotypes are true.

[sit-rep]

Well dayum!! That just sent a ripple across my serene dreams of moving there one day!! Lol...

I kiteboard near St Pete 2 or 3 times a year and do find the mid day traffic irritating, most of the time however I'm already at the beach or out fishing on my boat I trailer down as well.

I understand what your saying, but I would still rather be there than have to live with the infestation of my suburb neighborhood with the urban populace of Detroit!! Just sayin...

I encourage Disney to push the level of their woke agenda to maximum in order to effectively go broke quicker.

[moviefan8]

Is Rush pro Homo for having Eltob John play at his wedding?

[Bob434]

Wow! I hope it continues to plummet, and folks panic and sell the stock and get out. Walt Disney didn’t deserve what the wokesters of today have done to his empire

[Bob434]

I hope it’s sooner, much sooner really- just so the kids are protected from the perverts that work there.

[Bob434]

Yep. Years ago when Ford and j c Penney tried to go woke, people all over the nation worked in unison boycotting both companies, and it almost made them go bankrupt. Ford sales dropped off dramatically, and soon enough both companies came groveling back to the public with a lame apology. J.c Penney never did fully recover. And the folks,that boycotted them weren’t even only christians- people all over regardless of religious beleifs or non beleif boycotted because it was the right thing to do to keep evil from prevailing

These days however, not enough people care about morality to effectively hurt companies that pull their woke nonsense. If We had a teaparty-like organization with a powerful and dynamic enough leader, who was great at organizing and inciting boycotts, it could,have a dramatic effect, and the “Holy Restrainer” (ie the church) could real,y be a powerful force that stands up to evil and has a fighting chance of winning. But again, not enough people seem to care anymore.

[Bob434]

Lol- a few more “shows .of force” by Disney and they will be flat out broke lol

"Hosting the conference is another demonstration of the limits on the Republican governor’s ability to influence the content and scope of events at Disney."

Well, as I see it, they are fully in their rights to commit suicide. Which they are.

But this does epitomize the mindset (for lack of a better term) so typical of the left -- any law, any judical ruling they don't agree with, they just summarily ignore, wholly confident in getting away with it, with enough of the "American People" sympathize with them, and knowing full-well that many politicians, bureaucrats and other assorted apparatchiks will look the other way, and the leftmedia will carry every drop of their stained water.

Of course, when laws DO agree with their agendas, then they hammer on the law at every opportunity. But when not, just flagrantly disobey. Look at NY's and NJ's actions after last year's New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen SCOTUS decision.

Playing fields don't get more uneven than this.

I'm compiling a list of FReepers interested in Florida-related topics.
If you want to be added, please FReepMail me.

[Bull Man]

Sure what the hell…we love it when you spend your money in FL. We will even put little chocolates on your pillow every night. Don’t forget to tip as you leave!

[1Old Pro]

Several agencies, including the State Department and the CIA, are listed as government partners and will have booths at the conference.

Of course, I'll bet Milley will be the keynote speaker.

[Dick Vomer]

Anyone that takes their kids to a Disney park, watches a streaming Disney product or buys cruises, hotel accomadations or any toys/shirts/shoes from Disney is supporting the grooming of children to become sexual objects for the LGBTQ perverts.

[CodeToad]

I hope DeSantis sends in some law enforcement observers.

[yetidog]

Can’t wait to see all the pictures of the huge protest informing corporate participants of national boycotts and other economic actions against their companies and products.

I won’t hold my breath, tho.....

[ridesthemiles]

JOHN DEERE??

REALLY????

[oldtech]

Disney could probably have avoided all this & maybe could still turn it around somewhat if they wished to. Too bad they can’t understand what it is that the public wants ..and doesn’t want. It’s rather like having GM decide to start building only 2 passenger sports cars....or electrics. Expect to lose customers; possibly lots of them. No reason for them to expect any uneven tax breaks either.

[SharpRightTurn]

I can’t imagine taking a kid to Disney World these days. The perversion they are promoting is sick.

[BatGuano]

I refer to those perverts as. “Out but still ABOMINABLE!”

“Out and equal?.”
I consider them to be out and ABOMINABLE!”
They should be imprisoned, removed from any contact with normal people.

>>No reason for them to expect any uneven tax breaks either.

According to this article, DeSantis restored Disney’s special tax breaks:

...pretty soon disney won’t be anything more than a starving retreat for homosexuals and the few who support them...

It pretty much is now, at least during one week of the year.

I've heard accounts from Disney employees who reported utter filth and debauchery during "gay days" at their parks. The sodomites would jeer at normal families and display leud conduct in an obvious effort to provoke. They'd use the park for a massive orgy in barely out-of-the-way locations to hook up with anonymous partners, leaving used condoms and lube tubes strewn over the grounds. Thoroughly disgusting.
