Last time politically retaliatory legislation proposed in Florida made it on HN, it carved out exemptions for, and gave a free pass to, Disney[1].
It's interesting to see just how capricious their politicians can be, but that's what happens when they try to appease populist movements that are driven by one moral panic to another.
However, I do think this is a 'doing the right thing for the wrong reasons' situation, as Disney's clearly been given sweetheart deals and privileges from the state that other groups don't get to enjoy. But I could be wrong, though, as I haven't really looked into it that much.
