Fans await the day the MCU machine starts back up again and the cycle of hype surrounding the franchise to kick into full gear yet again. However, there has been a bit of a rain cloud hanging over Disney at the moment as the company faces backlash for its general silence around Florida's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill.  The piece of legislation would ban the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in schools in a state where Disney bases much of its operations.
