Walt Disney Co. will boycott filming in Georgia if the US state signs a 'religious liberty' bill that enables faith-based organisations to sack employees on the grounds of sexuality.
The controversial bill, known as the First Amendment defence Act, also allows state officials to eschew conducting same-sex marriages based on their personal belief.
The bill passed Georgia's legislature and is now on the desk of Governor Nathan Deal to enact or veto.
Disney, of which Marvel Studios is a subsidiary, labelled the pending legislation "discriminatory" and said it would cease operating in the southern state if enacted by Gov. Deal.
