Marvel's "Moon Knight" star Oscar Isaac had a simple response to Florida's controversial Parental Rights in Education bill that activists have labeled the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

"I guess my comment would be [starts singing] gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gayyyyyy!" the actor sang to Variety's Adam B. Vary during a press junket earlier this week.

Disney has been under fire over its shifting response to the legislation in Florida, which would, in general, ban discussions of sexuality and gender identity in classrooms from kindergarten to third grade and would allow parents to sue schools if staff members facilitate those conversations.

The bill passed the Florida legislature but has not yet been signed into law.

Disney employees and creators have slammed the company for its response to the legislation, especially given that Disney has such a large contribution to Florida's economy.

On Tuesday, Disney LGBTQ+ employees and supporters — including "That's So Raven" star Raven Symone — walked out in protest, urging the company to crack down on the proposed legislation, which awaits Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' signature before becoming law.

During the press junket, Isaac, who stars as the titular superhero in the upcoming miniseries for Disney+, called the bill "absolutely ridiculous."

"It's insane. It's insanity," he said. "And I hope that Disney as a company comes out as forcefully as possible against this idea."
