At least one hundred right-wing protesters assembled just outside of Disney World in Orlando, Florida on Saturday in protest of the company's position on the state's recently-passed "don't say gay" bill, holding up banners and flags in support of expanding "parents' rights" in education. 

Calling themselves the "Patriot Convoy," dozens of conservative protesters unsuccessfully attempted a car "blockade," that proved to be more of a minor inconvenience than the major headache organizers were surely hoping to cause. Such protests were outlawed by Florida Republicans in reaction to the anti-police brutality protests of 2020, although a federal judge has since ruled the ban unconstitutional.
