No. To protest the political developments in Florida they are moving the conference from Florida to Chicago.
So it's not just "I disagree with your politics", it's "I disagree with your politics, so I don't want anything to do with you."

But it still has nothing to do with Florida no longer representing the safe and family-friendly destination, unless there's an unusual reading of "represent" at play?

Chicago isn't even in the top 10 homicide rate per capita
You're getting downvoted for the snark, but yeah, this is an explicitly political move wrapped up in the mantle of "safety", which has little if anything to do with physical safety these days.

That said, I'm a little surprised to see that apparently Orlando scores worse on crime than Chicago. Score one for the Mouse's marketing department?
