California governor to Florida Disney employees: 'the door is open'
In a response to Disney employees angered by the company's lukewarm response to Florida's controversial Parental Rights in Education bill - known to its critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill - California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told Disney to move jobs in Florida back to the Golden State.
"Disney, the door is open to bring those jobs back to California - the state that actually represents the values of your workers," Newsom wrote on Twitter over the weekend, attaching a report of a letter sent to Disney leadership by a group of Pixar employees who said they were "hurt" and "angry" over CEO Bob Chapek's insufficient response to the Florida bill, which seeks to restrict classroom instruction related to sexual orientation or gender identity in the state's primary schools.

"We are writing because we are disappointed, hurt, afraid, and angry," employees wrote in the undated statement released last week, which was signed by "the LGBTQIA+ employees of Pixar and their allies."
"In regards to Disney's financial involvement with legislators behind the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, we hoped that our company would show up for us. But it didn't."
