A 13-year-old male character on a new Disney Channel show, played by a 15-year-old child actor, will be central to a new plotline about his exploring a same-sex attraction towards another key character, reports the New York Post this afternoon.
The “tween”-oriented series “Andi Mack,” whose audience median age is TEN, will introduce the plotline in its second season airing this fall.
Background
The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s famous phrase “defining deviancy down” just took new meaning.
Show business and mass media entertainment became popular early in the 20th century, partially as refuges from the serious societal troubles — war and economic crises including the Great Depression — engulfing the nation.
Now, entertainment is becoming the cutting edge to introduce — if not forcefeed — a barely concealed social and political, anti-family and anti-traditional values agenda.

Disney Channel character will be the first to come out as gay | New York Post
In a first for Disney Channel, a key character on its popular tween series Andi Mack will realize he’s gay and come out to his friends. The story arc will mark the channel’s first depiction of a coming-out journey. The character – 13-year-old Cyrus Goodman, played by 15-year-old Joshua Rush – will begin his self-discovery in this Friday’s second season one-hour premiere episode.
The takeaway
Disney, the parent company of the American Broadcasting Company and sports cable franchise ESPN, has recently seen corporate earnings fall due to ratings declines for its ESPN family of channels. The progressive agenda may suit a narrow band of decision makers, but the general audience seems to disapprove not only of the agenda but also its seemingly inescapable intrusion into every corner of entertainment.
The Disney brand for decades was marketed as wholesome family entertainment, from its iconic theme parks to its movies.
This latest move makes it harder — if not impossible — for many Disney customers not to conclude their core values are under active assault.
