With tensions high between The Walt Disney Company and Florida lawmakers, the entertainment giant, alongside three other major media companies, will air new a new public service announcement from GLAAD featuring a transgender teen which calls for nationwide support of LGBTQ youth.
The PSA centers on Texas mom Amber Briggle and her son Max.(snip)
The new PSA will be aired by outlets owned by Disney, Comcast, WarnerMedia and Paramount.
Disney’s participation comes at a time when company executives are working to be more aggressive in advocating for LGBTQ rights. CEO Bob Chapek, in particular, came under scrutiny in the past month for not publicly opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation until after it passed through the Florida Senate.
The company has vowed to help repeal the new law which forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools for kindergarten through third grade.(snip)
Amid this discord, Disney hired Kristina Schake as its new executive vice president of global communications. Schake was a cofounder of the organization behind a federal lawsuit challenging Proposition 8, a California state constitutional amendment that was intended to ban same-sex marriage.
The company also announced Wednesday earmarked nearly 80 acres of land in Florida for affordable housing to be built upon. The new development is expected to include more than 1,300 units and offer residents a variety of home choices located in close proximity to schools.
“We are invested in working together with our community to solve complex issues,” said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort, in a statement.

Of course they will.
They are beholden.
Stuck on stupid. Parenthood changes you. Thoughts of John Moses Browning for some reason waft through my mind when hearing of these things.
Adidas has one that they play during sporting events.
I have the feeling that this is just one of the loose ends in their pipeline. The rot runs deep in that org.
Disney can throw away that shovel they’ve used to dig their own grave.
Bring in the back hoe .
Trans teen? What is that, some 40 year old man/woman who claim to be a teenager?
HBO, TCM, TBS, TNT, CNN, Adult Swim, HLN, blah blah.
Check out the list at the link. You might want to delete some "apps".
Just why. What kind of sick, perverse suicide is America hell-bent on here? Is it something kind of circuitous surrender?
When I was a kid, little kids wanted to “change the world.” Now, it’s a Marshmallow Snowflake world and little kids want to change their gonads. It’s a goofy world.
“We are invested in working together with our community to solve complex issues,” said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort“
Sue him for failing to uphold his fiduciary duties.
He’s supposed to be making money running a theme park.

The folks at Disney are gluttons for punishment. Losing $63 billion in market value just isn't enough for them.
Now GLAAD? What's next...the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)?
Doubling down on stupid.
The Disney people really must hate themselves. Maybe they want their stock value to go to zero. As they might say in the math world, the stock value will be asymptotic, going to the zero line but not quite reaching it. Disney will be the new penny stock.
