That’s from April 8th and I’m preeeety sure if it were legit the national news would have picked up the story.

DeSantis did overplay his hand though. Have you read the complaint Disney filed in federal district court? It’s a joy to behold.

I took it as satire/humor, especially after I looked at some of his other pieces.

I just came back to say it might not be a legitimate source or might be satire. Lol.

SO said it wasn't real when I sent him the link. He said Disney will be here when DeSantis is long gone.

1. The last sentence in the article Daniel linked to explicitly says that it's parody.

2. On the same sentiment, this Slate interview compares the DeSantis v. Disney brouhaha with the Southern Baptist Convention v. Disney brouhaha that happened in the 1990s over Disney extending employee benefits to LGBT employees. The interviewee noted that Disney ultimately won.
