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.

PSA - Perverted Service Announcement 🤪

I hope Disney goes under. Will never happen, but a fella can dream.
Predators
>> the B in LGBTQ...
lol, +1
LOL. Stuck on stupid.
And, at least right now, Disney's top institutional investors don't care.
I notice that no company that sells or produces tangible products, e.g. General Motors or Walmart, has signed onto this PSA program. The media conglomerates that have done so are despised by half the U.S. population anyway, so they have little to lose. The damage is already done with Disney.
I’ll bet that Woke-A Cola, which sells stuff that absolutely nobody needs, will sign on, seemingly unaware that people will do just fine without them.
This article is from April 6. Now that their stock has lost 1/3rd of its valuation, I wonder if Disney is still going to air this controversial PDA?
