Judge tosses Disney suit claiming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis retaliated over 'don't say gay' critique

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The lawsuit, filed last year, alleged that the state's takeover of a special governing district for the Disney property was unlawful retaliation for the company's opposition to Florida's notorious "don't say gay" law, banning instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.
40% : "If left unchallenged, this would set a dangerous precedent and give license to states to weaponize their official powers to punish the expression of political viewpoints they disagree with.
28% : "A targeted campaign of government retaliation -- orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney's protected speech -- now threatens Disney's business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights," the suit said.
26% : Winsor, appointed by Donald Trump, had previously dismissed suits against the "don't say gay" law itself.
