Alternative sex and gender

 NPR - The Walt Disney Company and a board appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have settled lawsuits in state court. The settlement ends a battle that began in 2022 when DeSantis passed the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law restricting how schools discuss gender and sexual orientation. The two sides say they are now ready to work together on operations and plans to expand Walt Disney World — one of the state's premier tourist destinations. "When you get to it, tourism is a big business in Florida," and both sides come out of this settlement looking like winners, NPR's Greg Allen says. He explains that for DeSantis, fighting with one of the state's most popular tourist attractions never seemed like a winning strategy. And now, Disney can put the political and legal battle behind it to focus on improving its Orlando theme park.
