Roy P. Disney stated that equality is important to him, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Especially because Charlee is transgender and proudly a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

The elder Disney said that the family was also “heartbroken” by Florida’s governor. Ron DeSantis was the one to sign the Parental Rights in Education Act. Critics have called it the “Don’t Say Gay or Trans” bill, because it prohibits students in grades K-3 from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity.

Charlee, a 30-year-old high school biology teacher, and environmental science teacher said to the L.A. Times, that the HRC gala was a sort of public coming out for them since they came out as transgender four years ago.
