Orlando’s ABC News affiliate reports:
People came out Saturday to rally against Disney near one of the park’s entrances. Protesters said they are not happy with the company’s so-called political agenda.
Channel 9 saw protesters holding signs calling Disney “groomers” and asking them to revoke Disney’s autonomy. The governor signed the controversial bill more than two weeks ago.
It bans schools from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. Disney has slammed it, saying it never should have passed and it’s the company’s goal to help repeal the law.

Counter-protesters with flags celebrating LGBT pride demonstrated nearby.

As the event ended, arguments broke out between the anti-Disney protesters and counter-demonstrators.
In one situation, a woman identifying as lesbian argued with a counter-protester over trans inclusion in women’s spaces.
