Disney's new Abu Dhabi theme park contradicts stance on Florida's so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill
- Disney and Miral announced on May 7, 2025, a partnership to build Disney's seventh theme park resort on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

- Disney has publicly supported LGBTQ+ rights, launched Pride merchandise, introduced LGBTQ+ characters, and condemned Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill while now entering a market with contrasting policies.
- CEO Bob Iger called the Abu Dhabi project a 'thrilling moment' highlighting the region's rich arts culture, while critics note the discrepancy with Disney's past social stands.
- The partnership underscores tensions between Disney's progressive image and business decisions in regions with restrictive human rights, raising questions about corporate values and consistency.
