That may be. But it's not what prompted the Governor's and statehouse's actions against Disney. We know this because the governor admitted in his book, during speeches, at press conferences, etc. that the actions taken were in direct response to Disney's vocal, woke opposition to the "Don't Say Gay" law.
This sure appears to be quintessential government retaliation in contradiction to First Amendment rights.

However, I think there's a pretty good argument that if a corporation is receiving special favors and making political arguments, it can be argued that the state is actually subsidizing that speech. True state neutrality towards free speech requires the elimination of any special treatment.

No, not 'it may be'... It IS. And what prompted it don't mean shit to me. Whatever prompted this governor and this legislature to quit looking the other way is beside the point. What matters is that they are no longer looking the other way. And rightly.
