DeSantis falsely claims that he beat Disney and turned Florida into a pro-family state.

Last Updated on June 5, 2023

National File reported that Ron DeSantis lied to voters about “defeating Disney” on the campaign trail. It turns out DeSantis’ lies about his supposed victory over Disney are much worse than first thought. NationalFile has unearthed Gayday.org plans from months ago for an event at Disney World in Florida scheduled for this past weekend. Pictures prove the GayDay event took place at Disney in Florida. This, as Ron DeSantis claims he defeated Disney and made Florida a Family friendly state.

GayDay.org’s event page posted about the group’s planned trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida writing, “Encounter the magic of nature with animals, adventurers, and entertainment! Animal Kingdom celebrates all living things as a zoological theme park covering over 580 acres! Check out the Rivers of Light and Pandora: The World of Avatar. Go on a safari, learn more about exotic animals in the wild, meet characters, and ride high-speed thrills! Keep your eyes peeled for the meet-up schedule, but for now, enjoy our GayDays® Fan Page!”

Photos promoting the Disney event showed men dressed in women’s clothing taking pictures across Disney World. Worse, other events GayDay.org scheduled to take place before and after their Disney Trip included two strip shows and a Leather Competition that took place at hotels near Disney World.

This, as Ron DeSantis told voters from Iowa to South Carolina that he beat Disney and turned Florida into a family-friendly state.

Disney tried to tank a bill to stop the sexualization of kids in schools.

So Gov. @RonDeSantis took on Disney.

Receipts from this weekend show that this is not the case.

Imagine believing Florida Governor DeSantis’ claims that he beat Disney and that Florida is a family-friendly state to visit. Your family then starts saving all year to take your kids to Disney in Orlando. However, once you arrive, your family is greeted by leather parties and men in spedos.

Ron DeSantis has some explaining to do to GOP voters.

“Ron DeSantis has some explaining to do to GOP voters.”

I guess Disney thinks they can get away with this because their buddy Trump will win.

You're back again with BS posts from National File. Who's paying you?

Anyone with any reading comprehension and reading the news and with any bit of fairness knows this is an ongoing battle with Disney, which Florida and the American people will eventually win.

And on the topic, are you with Trump in not wanting boycott or criticism of Disney? Shame really, you and Trump should be cheering DeSantis and Florida Republicans for their fight, not criticising it. Or maybe you join Trump in supporting LGBTQ+ perversion and grooming?

DeSantis did beat Disney on the special status issue, but, Pride week is a separate issue, and has been around for a couple of decades. It’s the people visiting Disney that should speak out about it and not visit on that day.

Trump claimed he built the Wall, yet here they are.

Just because there are enough sick creeps to fill Disney’s bath house does not mean DeSantis failed. It was never his goal to shut it down. It was to make them pay a price for teaming up with the groomers.

The was a battle DeSantis was never going to win. That’s because the problem isn’t Disney — it’s their customers.

Well, DeSanctimonious has learned well from his mentor GWB to distract low-information, single-issue GOP Voters with a Moral Issue (or Issues) on one hand, while being a Globalist / GOP-E Stooge on Foreign Policy on the other hand.

I don’t recall DeSantis telling Disney they could not hold their annual “Gay Days” at the park. I sure don’t remember him convening a special session of the legislature to prohibit such festivals at Disney or other such venues. But you must know that.

DeSantis has never said such activity was or should be illegal if it did not involve exposing children to sexually explicit entertainment in certain public places. Both the meaning of sexually explicit and the types of public places are clearly defined in the statute.

Damn good reply!

National file and wapo are a bunch of queer lovers.

Isn't that the truth! Bush and his globalist insiders completely hoodwinked the evangelical community. Amazing stuff!

I thought the argument was about Disney’s objecting to Florida’s laws guaranteeing parents’ rights to know what their kids are being taught, not about whether or not Disney has ‘gay days’.

I may not like the idea of ‘gay day’, but it’s none of the government’s business.

Disney is losing bigtime. DeSantis has hit the Mouse bigtime and the company is reeling...stock price cut in half and billions in losses and 7000 in layoffs.

Reedy Creek is no more and us local taxpayers are rejoicing.

RE: Pride Fest Invades FL Theme Park

I don’t think you can blame DeSantis for this. The Constitution of the United States protects this aberration in the First Amendment. I doubt if Florida’s constitution prohibits this as well.

Short of signing into law, a bill that makes Pride Parades illegal, the only solution is for people to BOYCOTT Disney ike they did Anheuser Busch. DeSantis can only do so much and he already did.
